The problem as i see it is yeh cant learn the lifelong stupids.
EFL Round 2 draw
- Thread starter maccawozzagod
- Start date
Moving seats is no big deal, people need to look at the bigger picture.
We have nearly gone out of existence, the new owner want to maximise the financial potential from a rare chance to play a premier league team in a meaningful match, they have my full support.
Look at the bigger picture, this game may very well set us up financially for the rest of the season, we can't expect Andy Holt to act as a charity.

- Just a little thought would've been appreciated
1800 Which means the whole of the Whinney Hill Stand(300 seats ) and the away end Terracing(1500)Sanding but may change because of the TV camrea's
and the fact its a night match.
I am scratching my head here,surely the club should give a window of opportunity to season ticket holders to purchase "their"seat.
I can't see the problem.
On a separate note I went to purchase our tickets on Tuesday,was sent to another booth after lining up,eventually spent a few minutes (with a queue behind me),getting two seats together.
I thought it must be nearly a sell out,only to find I could sit practically anywhere !!
So I went in my normal seat and bent Yonmons ear all game !!!

That's what has usually happened F19, but not for this game - at least not if your usual seat is in Block F as the whole section has been given over to the press & hospitality, apparently over 300 had been sold before Saturday morning which was the first day season ticket holders could go for their Burnley tickets - don't want to keep going on about it, I've calmed down a bit now but it has still left a bit of a sour taste tbh
As your new fan liaison rep, going forward I will make that taste is no longer bitter but oh so sweet.
any issues, drop me a PM
Must agree, but any other option should have been explained to people when buying their season ticket surely? not difficult. unless yer braindead.
That was totally my error; never ever gave it a thought it was the international break that weekend. Lesson learned; when we get the fixtures in June the International breaks are cleared marked. I thought of asking Cheltenham to swop to the Friday, but saw it was on the International weekend.
Sir; all clubs have to submit to the EFL what allocation they will give clubs at all games in pre-season. We've made a commitment which will have to honour. It's is a minimum of 10% of capacity, but as we all know the Wham isn't currently geared up to work within that constrant.
I think all fans appreciate that special changes are made for one-off fixtures such as this. Certain sections of the ground are expanded for press, hospitality and fans of clubs with larger fan bases. It's inconvenient but a part of the success which gets us these games.
The previous precedent of speaking to season ticket holders to advise them ahead of the changes was the right thing to do; it was an example of the club's personal touch and, incidentally, cost nothing. It's completely understandable why people are miffed that the precedent hasn't been followed this time. It's equally disappointing that there are supporters on here who are either wildly missing the point or showing an active dearth of compassion towards fellow Reds!

I don't think anyone would disagree. Missed the point a bit though. The issue isn't the changes themselves it's the communication.
Why is communication now channelled through twitter?
I suspect that a considerable minority of fans see Mr Holt's tweets.Aye but to explain to andy, whilst the fact is yeh cant cos the twitter location is disabled, not the best idea in my view.
It is normal at most clubs for some fans to move for Cup games so it seemed okay, however Andy Holt's comments have no regard to he recently published club charter so he would have been better apologising and saying it is a one off. With the spelling I doubt it was widely read 
"HOME CUP COMPETETIONS
Season ticket holders can claim their allocated seat during a priority sales period. After this specified period, any unsold ‘reserved’ seats will be made available to all other home supporters at the discretion of the club."

Most would put something about ST holders not guaranteed their own seat, although the club would endeavour to do so.

In all honesty I'm not sure why the hospitality people needed to sit in a specific block of seats. Why couldn't they just sit in the normally unallocated seats that are fairly central.
On saying the above I understand the club can make a few thousand extra out of this fixture and it is all vital money that may even help bring a player or two in at some stage.
