What's the Conference away gate record? I'm guessing Luton or maybe Oxford hold it. Would be nice to beat that too!

Mansfield got given 2300 in the season they went up. Think they may be able to squeeze in 2500 but that will be our lot.

The next worry is Southport away according to website can only fit 1200 standing 300 seats if we are still in title hunt it will be mayhem.

Last year a mate who knows an Alfreton player got me two freebies for the home end. When we got in we just walked around and sat in the town stand with no problem. If it's not sold out I'm hoping to do the same this year.

As an exile myself it's well worth getting a Trust membership for occasions like this. A bit annoyed that the club will now seem to charge £6 for special delivery postage of tickets though.

There ground holds 3600. I cant see them selling more than 1000 home tickets so hopefully they will give us an extra 500 providing we sell out tomorrow.

THE club have now requested an extra 500 tickets from Alfreton for the Vanarama Conference fixture next month. We had been sent an initial 1,500 tickets by the Derbyshire club but 1250 of them have already been snapped up.
Tickets for this game will go on unrestricted General Sale from Monday at 9am.
The prices are as follows:
Adults: £18.00
Seniors: £12.00 (65+)
Students: £12.00 (with a valid card)
Young Adults: £12.00 (16yrs - 18yrs)
Juniors: £2.00 (15yrs and under)
We will have some important travel information for Town fans nearer the time.
Any ideas what the important travel info is...?

No bank holiday disruptions on First Trans Pennines or East Midlands so can't be anything wrong with the trains.

If we sell out the 2,000, anyone reckon we'll get anymore? Alfreton average 650 at home which means all their regulars could go and still fit in 3,000 Town fans. It'd be the best pay day in their history.

I think the capacity of the whole ground is 3600 so they really can't give us any more than the 2500. Fair play to them for giving us a reasonable allocation.

On the phone at the ticket office at 1218 hrs (just now). I was at my best position of 28th today. After phoning up earlier a few times.
The estimated delay time given was a very realistic I think (139 mins), 2 hrs 19 mins. Lunchtime breaks no doubt figured in.
(To be fair I am only trying to book ticket for exiles for the Gateshead game before all the best seats are taken).

Our home gate is still higher than that, what is wrong with loads of people going to support the team away? If the capacity of Blundell Park was 3,500 you would probably get the same enthusiasm and clamour but as we don't have such a limited supply, there is not such a high demand.
*Edit Just seen the reply you making, fair point regarding extra staff members coming out of our pocket for no profit, my bad on that!

It's not like our ticket office staff get paid a fortune though is it? Getting an extra pair of hands to take phone bookings this morning would cost what £30? At the very least announcing that they are not taking phone bookings would save people a lot of hassle and wasted time.

Yes my concern Chris, if those that can only afford the one game in three days choose Alfreton it would be a shame to line others pockets, however the buzz at away games is hard to ignore

Helpful feller there sold me a Gateshead ticket but says Alfreton fully sold out, and "Alfreton FC so far not playing ball" for a third allocation of tickets to Town (booo to me for waiting til now to book it).
He said that the 4 ticket office staff had sold more than 1,000 tickets in 4 hours.

we watched from there for about 10-15 minutes the first time we played there. you might remember that alfreton thought it a good idea to only have 1 turnstile for the 1200 who turned up. not a bad view at all and we could also keep an eye on the queue eventually going down.
being an exile i'm pretty confident of getting in the home end.

Think it is safe to say that, even if Alfreton don't give us any more tickets, the game will be a sell out with many Town fans in the home end. And probably on that mound behind the stand.

Found this on the same Alfreton fans site:
"Definitely deserved a point today against what I must say was a very unimpressive Barnet side, whose only tactic was the long ball to Akinde. No silky passing, no style, nothing".
"I imagine the next home game against Grimsby will be a much sterner test".
(This bloke is very accurate and perceptive!). I hope.

As I said on the other thread, what are 2500 Town fans going to do before the match? If you get people in pubs as they arrive (guess many like ourselves are planning on arriving early to allow plenty of time to get in) then everyone is in a couple of places, people are generally happy with a beer and footy on the telly, surely it makes policing the whole thing much easier? Not to mention an absolute cash cow for said pubs involved... The Victoria near the ground would make more in a couple of hours than in an entire weekend.

Unfortunately a few male private heads down the years have ruined the leniency we should be given and now we're kept on a lead at away games. Essentially we're going there to get Town promoted and it SHOULD be a party atmosphere all being well. Hopefully the police will be in a party mood too because they can be as much to blame as "the minority" when things do kick off.

I'm not usually one for comparing attendances and away followings (especially with Lincoln) but to take 2,500 to an away match is incredible.
The gate for Lincoln's HOME game with Alfreton on Boxing Day (remember, the one they wanted instead of us) was 2,685 including 66 from Alfreton, so 2,623 Lincoln Fans. We'll no doubt have a hundred or so in the home end on Monday, so we're actually taking more fans to the Alfreton away match than Lincoln cobbled together for their bumper Boxing Day home game against them.

April Fools aside, I actually think alfreton have already been a lot more generous than most.
As for southport. I'm not thinking that far ahead although people thinking that we'll take thousands is just a tad optimistic. I'd say anywhere between 2000&3000 would be about right.
Some fans do get carried away when we talk about followings etc.
That said, if we had lincoln this week who only get 2500 at home would they have given us more tickets? Doubt it somehow...

From Alfreton today..
Quoted Text
Such is the magnitude of Monday’s game in more ways than one, strict segregation procedures have been put in place for the fixture, particularly after the Mariners sold out their 2,500 ticket allocation way before the game.
Early closure of turnstiles
Alfreton Town fans are advised that admission to the Grimsby game will be via the North Street turnstiles only and that they should arrive for the fixture far earlier than usual.
The North Street turnstiles will be open from 12.45pm but Reds fans should pay particular notice to the fact that they will close at 2.30pm and there will be no entry to the game after that time except for season ticket holders who will have up to kick-off to gain entry.
Alfreton fans should also note that there are no Early Bird or Group Saver Tickets available for this fixture due to logistics over the Easter period.
All ticket for away fans
The game is all-ticket for away fans and all Grimsby Town fans without tickets are advised not to travel to the game as there will be no entry for them on the day.
Grimsby fans will be housed in the Alma Street stand and all of the Tom McRoy stand seats both covered and uncovered, all of which can only be accessed through the Alma Street turnstiles only.
Alfreton fans will have the use of all of the Bentley Close seating and terrace area along with the Tommie Bradley terracing and Reds Bar seating areas for the game.

From Alfreton today..
which means we've got the 2 biggest sides - the away end and the side to the right as you look at the pitch from the away end.

But what time will the away end turnstiles be open? I can imagine a few more than 2500 turning up for this one so I think many fans will want to get in early as the last time we filled it, they only had the one turnstile open and fans were pulling the gates open. Its going to be a great atmosphere UTM
