Harrogate ticket link

Quoted from Les Brechin

As long as the weather warms up a bit!

There is that! The milder weather was supposed to have arrived by Friday but it seems to have gone back a day.

Fingers crossed.

Hope to see you soon Les. Its been a fair old time since we saw each other at a game.

Quoted from Son of Cod

There's apparently a big enough section of our support that can't/won't use online ticketing portals, I'm not saying that's all elderly supporters but if people insist on having to buy tickets in person then they're gonna have to do it when it's cold every so often.

I'm 73 and still climb hills in the snow and ice so no personal issues there. My other colleagues on Row G in the Upper are often less mobile, even older or travel some distance. The notion that this policy aids local fans other than those very close to the ground is illusory. It's ageist, ableist and hostile to exiles who pay more to support their team than locals. It disadvantages those on shifts and self employed who work away from Cleethorpes.

Guess what levels all these out?  Online sales from 6.00pm onwards. I suppose those who 'insist on having to buy tickets in person'' look forward to buying a paint brush or coal scuttle from Norris The Rubber Man!      They can support Barnstoneworth if they like the old days.

My personal opinion is that this percentage kept aside is so people can keep their perks and sort tickets out for their mates, something going online only prevents.

Finals at Wembley, London Stadium etc were online only and people managed to find a way of getting a ticket alright. Just make the leap and be done with it, it's not the most responsible thing to drag people out in subzero temperatures to queue for a ticket.

Then again maybe its the only chance of conversation they get and look forward to maybe bumping into a fellow supporter to chew the cud.

Quoted from Davec

Lisa Piggott initially said on Facebook that all tickets were sold out by 07:03 this morning, and now she is advising people to try again as there has been another glitch in the system.

I don't blame Lisa at all for the misinformation, this ticketing system is a shambles!

Isn't she a senior member of staff?

If she has gone on a public site talking bull excrement then she needs to be reprimanded.

Stop it! You're going down the Hovis route. I can hear the brass band playing, Jason handing out warm mince pies and Debbie pouring mugs of mulled wine.

Absolute bllocks that excuse....there is no way that a sell out occurred by 7.03.....I was on the ticket page by 10 seconds after 0700 and wasn't waiting, wasn't in a queue, no circle of doom ....the page was loaded but the ticket options just weren't there.

100% someone dropped a bllock

Surely this fixture should have flagged up major concerns with the EFL before the fixtures where released and changed. It’s Boxing Day traditionally a game that attracts large attendances if said team has to have a home game on Boxing Day then surely it should be matched up with a team that historically does not have a large away following eg Salford or  Crawley etc

What gets me is, we'd sell out at Harrogate every possible day of the season, why couldn't they send us to Rochdale, Bradford or Doncaster, somewhere with a big capacity where we'd take more on Boxing Day than we would on any Saturday.

I suppose the counterargument is plod wouldn't fancy it. 3,000 Town fans at Bradford may put them off, it'd, at best, get moved forward to 12.30.

I’m well aware it’s not anyone’s fault per se but not entirely sure a club employee should be putting something on social media without the real facts, especially knowing how dependent people are on social media for information.

We can talk about it all day long but the venuebox site is male masturbation. No point over egging it, it’s excrement. End of…
