Re: Fa cup

Can you believe I'm back for the York and Burton game but fly out on the 2nd Jan! So want us to win but the 500 quid to change the flight may be tricky!!! Saying that Yeovil will be a very hard game away but if we do win why would we want to change the ground nevermind if we can? Remember last time we were at Ewood, Crewe smashed us although we played better against Scunny next time at Turf Moor and should have won.

I thought the away fans were only allowed 15% of the total, ie 750 if the total is 5000?

Re: Fa cup

15% of Utd's home attendance should just about cover their 'fans' from Manchester.

Re: Fa cup

That's true in terms of regulations, but they would be allocated the Coppice End plus the Cowshed so that there are seats, so that will be over 2,000 given our official capacity of 5,057.

Fulham were given 1,200 tickets and there was still work in place at the time on the Whinney Hill corner, plus the Coppice End was extended the following season IIRC.

My point is that, if we beat Yeovil, there is no way that we can guarantee that the tickets on general site at the Club are bought by Stanley fans (our only current means of controlling the reserved tickets is via the list of season ticket holders and shareholders). If we say that a ticket retained from the Wycombe game will enable the holder the right to buy a ticket to the Man Utd game, it should ensure that we have two sell-out games rather than one.

I would also make it conditional on entry to the Wycombe game (i.e. people are given a token or voucher at the turnstile when they hand over/buy their match ticket) rather than a token in the programme ... we would face the huge financial cost of printing 5,000 programmes or face the potential chaos of running out.

I suggested on Monday night you had to buy a Wycombe & Burton ticket before the 16th to get a voucher, and no refunds

Re: Fa cup

What about Fans who live away then Dave ?

I went to Carlisle, will be going Yeovil, Portsmouth & the Wycombe Game (but not Burton).

Would mean I wouldn't get one

All hypothetical I know, but wouldn't be easy for the club either way.

Be a nice problem to have though WHEN we beat Yeovil.

You're right, there is no ideal way, my suggestion was half real, half tongue in cheek because of the refund issue .

Loads of complaints about people not getting tickets would be good in a sad sort of way, because that means game on

5th & 6th would spoil it for me coming up from Devon, not to mention all the United fans trying to get back to London

Re: Fa cup

Seeing as Man U play away at Stoke on Thursday 1st at 12.45am Live on SKY - no danger of it being played on the Saturday.

Re: Fa cup

No danger of any of that being a problem, if we dont do Yeovil.

Re: Fa cup

Was going to ring and pre-order some tickets but, from what they said to you Smobile, is there any need if they're selling them up to kick off?
