Quoted from Son of Cod
I'm struggling to get my head around this one a bit. I'm not so sure it will have been purely based on police/SAG advice.

Does it not seem a bit odd that it's unallocated seating to anyone else? Can anyone remember if that was the case when we've been there before? Bradford took 4000 there about a month ago which is pretty much the entire stand. If it's unallocated seating I don't think you can sell out the stand as you have to leave 10% or something I believe. Which would mean we had allocated seating when we went there the season after our first promotion from the NL and it would mean Bradford did too earlier this season.

I'm wondering if we took on a reduced allocation thinking that we'd get another 3/4/500 if we wanted it or so but that someone has kiboshed that plan today.

It's possible we've undershot how many we'll need for Donny and overshot how many we needed for Bradford?

Or have Donny retaliated because our away allocations at BP are down and they sold out earlier in the season and couldn't have any more?


We asked for the extra tickets. It’s a police thing.

Police can only advise, they don’t make the decision.

Donny have probably looked at another £20k (max) from tickets, taken out additional stewarding & police costs and thought it’s probably not worth the hassle. Might be hard work getting more stewards in at short notice too given it’s a bank holiday.  

Doesn’t stop GTFC asking the question.

Town would’ve shifted 1000 more at a push. They’re not gonna sell anymore and my understanding is they’ve got a protest going on on Monday.

Extra policing would cost most than the money they’d make from the extra 1000…

We can’t really moan, we’ve been giving shite allocations all year…

We should always give Mansfield, Stockport, Doncaster and Bradford the full end
