Are you saying that the 1000 tickets already allocated to Carlisle, have been sold? If so maybe more will be made available......that seems to be the normal process for clubs with large away followings. From a personal perspective I wouldn't allocate more and give Carlisle equal fan support advantage.....but that costs the club money and I understand why the Owner would want to maximise revenue......I'm not quite sure which club you actually support....you seem to be wearing a Carlisle Scarf at the moment....and if that's the case I doubt you would want Stanley Fans telling Carlisle United what it should be doing on match days? Maybe I'm wrong......no offence mean't....just my thoughts...

Hi There CG
And thanks for the reply
Ive never made any secret on here of the fact that i support CUFC and have done for well over 50 years but i moved to Accy in 2012 and started watching the odd game and then got caught up in the hulabaloo of the AH takeover and what came after with Billy Kee and against all the odds getting Promoted and over the last few years its surprising how little we.ve played each other which has been good for me and i.ve praying for you to get the points and get away from the **** end of the table the situation now is a bloody nightmare for me and i.d love it Stanley could win a game and beat Tranmere then if we did pull off the miracle it wouldnt be at Accys expense.
But yes i imagine they have as the only update weve had is that theyd sold over 800 by Thursday close but we.ve heard nothing since which is very strange but at the time they went on sale this is what our ticketing site said
Accrington Stanley v Carlisle United, Monday 21 April, 3pm kick-off.
"We have been allocated 548 seated tickets and 500 terracing tickets for this game.
No more tickets will be available."
You are wrong about me not supporting selling all possible tickets to the away club and last season when we didnt sell 1700 away tickets to Derby when with a little work and a bit of extra stewarding/policing i wasnt the only one who criticised them for not doing just that and lets face it Accy have done so plenty of times in the past and i thought you might give us the full allocation and then challenge all the Accy stay aways to buy the rest and create a new record attendance.
But i think Accy [ OR Lancs Plod ] are creating a rod for their own back here because if we were to win our next two games do you really think many more wouldnt travel down knowing there would be 1700 empty seats [which would make Accy look very silly] so to speak and if they did Plod would then have to make a decision let them in or attempt to manage 1700 fans in the town centre on a Bank Holiday Monday afternoon after someone had created a problem thats totally unnecessary.
All i want is somebody to come out and say whos decision it was and what it was based on.
Ideal scenario for me would be Accy to get the points and we go into miracle mode and we sent our bogey team Harrogate back where they belong.
