Notts F reject Albions request for extra tickets

[RM-Taylor]

I have seen a communication from Forest stating that if home fans are bringing away fans with them into the home end to ask them not to be provocative, or words to that effect. Rather than seek to prevent Albion fans from infiltrating other areas, they are asking punters to be sensible.......blimey football fans being treated like adults, whatever next!

So clearly NFFC recognise that Albion fans are likely to be randomly acquiring tickets all around the City ground - would it not be simpler for them to manage (and potentially safer for all) to keep all the Albion fans together by extending the away area in the Bridgeford Stand on this occasion?

Did you manage to secure a ticket mate?

Why should Forest worry about the revenue it would generate the owners will just donate more money as they have done all season totally ignoring FFP.

Is it POTG for home fans

Amongst our minibus of 16 6 have yet to procure a ticket thus far , i wonder how many Brighton will be travelling up in the same situation , Forest may have made a bad choice here , no news there i suppose but does seem a bit daft not selling more to us in light of their position now .

I'm sure that would have gone down well

Nothing goes down well with most of our fans.. 1000 extra tickets at £32 each would earn the club an extra £32,000 and that doesn't include food/drinks sold..

If Wigan win, then us and Reading will be on the box. If Wigan don't win then it will Wigan and Reading I suspect.

Theres no way they are showing two play off related games. They'll be one play off game and one relegation game. If Wigan win tonight it just makes it easier to select Reading.

Have.

Poor decision.. I'd hope if it was the other way round we would have held tickets in the south stand at least until the rest of the ground had sold out..

No we wouldn't as the season ticket holders sit up to the aisle between F and G which gives a maximum of 2200 seats for away fans.

You realise you've added one line too many, meaning the song doesn't work? ... which isn't a bad thing really, because the song was shit.

 

[seagurn]

i agree Rohana

All the modern ones are
...

Anyhow i have my Forest ticket so i'll be getting the 0620 out of Brighton and if i didn't i'd still go as there will be tickets knocking about our end or thiers wtf.

Its a curse of how football clubs are run these days. I remember leeds being given the East Terrace at the Goldstone and bringing down about 12000 but whenever we play Charlton, the ground holds about 28000, we get 3000 tickets and the gate is about 18,000, leaving 10,000 spare seats. Very odd to turn the money away for the extra couple of thousand Brighton who might go but there we go. As for Forest, they might have sold too many already to change things around or they might be just "doing a Charlton".

It's interesting that to buy a ticket in the forest end you have to have a ticket history of 3 years for a game that is of no interest to forest.so they are aware of non forest fans trying to buy tickets for this game why do they not just release more tickets for Albion fans rather than trying to stop Brighton fans getting tickets in the forest stand.

Because all other blocks in the stadium, including those immediately adjoining the away section, already have Forest fans with allocated seats within them.

And to do what they used to do and just relocate people to another part of the ground is just too difficult for people who work for football clubs these days. Yep, men can be placed on the moon but they cant just say that if you buy a ticket in that area then you might be moved if situations like this come up. Nope far too difficult for club officials to have the foresight to think of that obviously. Some things are far better than they used to be and some things are just not. This is one of them.

Last season when we played forest we had 2800 in a crowd of 28000.

Forests last few home games have attracted little over 20000 so why have we been allocated fewer tickets in a crowd of 20000 that means nothing to forest that the 2800 we were given in a crowd of 28000 that meant something last season

Could this be on police advice? Last game of the season, potential trouble because of play-off situation, elf and safety and any other reason.
