Ask Lancashire plod how mush they spent policing Morecambe and Lancaster town centres on Saturday after having intelligence that up to 500 Carlisle fans were intending on travelling without tickets.

As far as I know nobody from the club has said this officially or otherwise but if it is the reason why exactly is it a disgrace?
In another post you mention games v Leeds, Derby, Sunderland etc where the opposition have outnumbered the Stanley fans & yes, they were good games with a cracking atmosphere BUT on other occasions, for example the play off game in 2016 v Wimbledon & the semi final of the Efl trophy v Bolton giving these clubs a massive numerical advantage backfired on us, not only because of the results but also the away fans behaviour, particularly in Boltons case & I would hope lessons were learned from that.
If the games against Tranmere & Carlisle were not so pivotal.for both clubs, i'm.sure more tickets would have been made available & a good day out would have been had by all.with us welcoming any additional revenue but that is not the case so why should we give in to.'bigger clubs' demands for more tickets just because we're going to disappoint some of their fan base?
You mention there could be a police bill if fans travel without tickets, well that would be a guaranteed bill if we allowed more opposition fans in the ground
