Not looking for the monthly discussion on how we distribute tickets, everyone knows the score & haven’t got a ST you’re going to struggle. I just really get fed up with the fúcking about and ambiguity, let alone the rapidly decreasing allocations. Is it really that hard for the assembled megabrains at both clubs, Notts Police & Council to say, in decent time, this is the allocation and that’s your lot?

6 days after we visit, Forest will be hosting about 3000 Sheff Utd fans on a Friday night, in a crowd of about 30,000. Nobody can seriously tell me the same Council and police can’t cope with about a third of that on a Saturday afternoon?

Both stated as initial allocations which implies more later if that’s not going to be the case that would be dissapointing . One days notice for those who prefer to visit the ticket office is a bit shoddy.

Wrexham will get the full 4k for Notts to help the press have big w@nkfest about the game.

I couldn’t envisage us taking fewer than 3k if they gave us the full allocation, and 4k would be possible.

County have only given Lincoln 982 tickets, initially anyway, for the 1st round of the League Cup.  Considering there's only an hour between clubs that's another example of a very tight allocation.

Absolutely no justification for it. Only people who are getting punished is the fans.

With a capacity of 19841 at Meadow Lane, County are doing the bare minimum 10%.  Looking on their website they're not offering any home tickets for sale in the Jimmy Sirrell stand (the away stand).  That stand has a capacity of 5,775, even when segregated between home and away it can take 3365 away fans.

There seems to be a fundamental misunderstanding of the idea of a “spectator sport” at the top of the relevant authorities, and many clubs.

Nothing on the OS about 1 for 1 either.

I can see absolutely no problems coming from releasing two lots of scarce away tickets at exactly the same time on an already shaky ticketing system.

The important word here is “initial”
I would suspect that if you sell out the initial allocation then another block of 500 would made available and so on,I read somewhere once why they don’t just give a max amount of tickets to that club and take back the unsold but I’m buggered if I can remember why it was now

Looking forward to the game but this season won’t be as easy as some think,if we make the playoffs I will be happy,if we make the playoffs with Grimsby I will be having a 90 min nervous breakdown

Appreciate what you’re saying but it doesn’t take Mystic Meg (RIP) to see we’ll sell the initial allocation, probably in the first couple of days. What you’ve then got is more to-ing & fro-ing, another statement, another load of fúcking about, another trip down to the ticket office potentially. All the while people have to make arrangements, book trains, time off work, etc etc.

Why is everything such a battle? It’s almost every single away match. Píss poor.

Same thing every single flipping season!!

Its Div 4 footy !! Stop faffing about with allocations and let us in
