Taken from the Bradford forum:
"A damn shame considering the level of support we take away from home, the ticketing etc was pathetic today, plenty paid an extra £2 for a seat to be told there weren't any left. We were told that our fans could not stand behind the 2 rows of seats due to health and safety but that just meant everyone stood in the gangways with another 200 still waiting at the turnstiles. This was so predictable and Accrington should have known this and either opened part of another stand, refused entry or made the game all ticket earlier. I'm not exaggerating when I say events like this on a bigger scale lead to tragedies like Hillsborough, the stewards were refusing people in the stand with the seats yet fans were saying the police had sent them there. No one seemed to be taking responsibility for it and they were clueless"

Yeouch, not good at all, the club should of made it all ticket & sent the tickets to bradford, as quite clearly could of been more disasterous than it was. There was a long queue before game for the away end. Again highlights lack of fore sight - especially as game had been hyped up re most wanted coley stuff. Last thing on earth we want is another hillsborough!
