Notts/Mansfield tickets

From memory I think that we gave Coventry City 4,600 in a play off game* a few years ago,the capacity is just over 5k but reduced with segregation and so on

* Here we go….

I guess we are looking at a circa 13k crowd. With the full 4.5k away allocation could have been 15k. When is the last time Notts got 15k for a league game at normal prices?

If we can sell those 3000 in the next week we should be banging on their door for the rest of the stand

Notts fan informed me that they can not get a safety cert for more than 3k as concourse too small and not enough toilets. If so why don't they say so? Or it might be too costly for extra stewards and Police?









Or it may be they don't want us to out sing them as well as outplay them on the pitch (again).

TBH if that’s right I don’t have a problem with it - but there must be consistency. Unlike the Halifax fiasco, or Notts in the play-offs. This is where I’d want Fair Game to get involved. There shouldnt be discrimination against any clubs’ fans unless there is a demonstrable threat of serious disorder, and certainly not league status or TV.

If the problem is the concourse not the seats then why not let us sit where we want instead of cramming us all together? They force us to sit rammed in together when there is enough space for us to be more comfortable?

Last season we didn’t get the full Doncaster allocation because the club never requested them in time , I think it’s time the club realised we’ll sell all of the tickets offered for any local games and they should request the maximum amount of tickets

I spoke to several stewards at DRFC when going to some local cup finals. The reason we didn't get the full allocation was DRFC's decision alone. This was because of disorder when Bradford visited as the overflow which accommodated them was underneath executive boxes where the inhabitants decided to act aggressively. The club weren't risking that happening with our supporters.

DRFC were not going to back down and SYP weren't involved. That is why GTFC were rebuffed several times when trying to get a bigger allocation.

Hopefully the pyros being used by Town fans won't harm this season's allocation. Because they set off fire alarms on the concourse, the club couldn't admit fans queueing outside.

This was my understanding, I just think Donnie excrement a brick to be honest which was why our allocation stayed as it was.

The fire alarm thing was odd because I’ve never seen it before, or heard it I guess. Happens every week at football and fire alarms never go off, they must have some weird overly sensitive system there. It won’t make a difference to allocations though.

As for Notts, for me, the issue is still the actual system we use to purchase tickets. I’ve got mine and everyone I know who wanted one got one but for me the anxiety is the system. It’s horrific, I’ve always been successful in my quest but that still doesn’t make it ok. I’m assuming it hasn’t fully sold out yet?

The ‘rumour’ that they can use the whole stand because of health and safety and the concourse has to be balderdash. We’ve had that full stand before and so have others, the issue with the concourse that day was the police kettling people in areas of it and the kiosk people just slamming down the shutters which in turn drunk people off. I’d imagine we could get another 500 at best. They’ll probably sell the rest to home fans and why wouldn’t they?

Let’s face it, we’ve cut our away allocation to accommodate home fans so we’re no different…

Way better to be crammed in in my opinion. Atmosphere is never as good when there are little pockets of space everywhere. I reckon a couple of hundred spare so there's a small bit of wiggle room works but we'd have a third of the stand empty at Notts if we could go anywhere and we'd not be anywhere nears noisy as we would otherwise.

There will not be any home fans in away stand. Notts do not sell home tickets when there are more than 2000 away fans I there. Again it is because the concause is too small.
