Saturday's Game!

Chimer said:
I finally got through at about 1230 and am on a list to be rung back for payment details - so not going anywhere for a while. I hope this means I'm guaranteed my 2 tickets - Mrs Chimer not thrilled at prospect of standing in the rain on the Coppice End though :D

Nothing's going to rain on our parade mate, I bloody hope not anyway cos that's where me and Ange have got to stand:)
 
Ah, maybe I'll get to meet our champion before she's deposed - and you too of course :D. I suspect I'll be wearing a Viking helmet with pigtails and a St George's cross :rolleyes:, as it seemed to do the trick at Wycombe :eek:

You were sat next to Ange at Wycombe and spoke to us in the concourse, I had the stupid flowery hat on whilst Ange is the pretty one ;)
 
See you there, was sat next to you at Wycombe.. make sure you wear your Viking hat, good value. We had a nightmare getting tickets after reserving on e-mail yesterday.
 
If I remember right and I'm sure someone will state other wise.... Main stand (jack Barrett stand) holds 1200 Clayton end 1600 combined siting and standing Whinney hill 600 sitting coppice ie away end 1500 standing with 157 standing on whinney terrace. 5057 total.
 
I'm sure police advise was 4500????

The only game I ever remember being an official "sell out" was Satanage in the playoffs???
 
well I sure hope it a better ref than on that day , when he blew for full time he did it in corner of the pitch and then legged it......speaks volumes. Stevenage owe us one.

Small world, etc, etc!! :D Hopefully will see you both then :)
 
Being down here in t'netherworld I was wonderin' whereabouts they are putting the handful of Stevenage fans and if I'd get away with nipping up the road and buying a few tickets from their allocation?
 
Got to say I'm not 100% happy with what's happened with mine and my father's tickets. My dad had the forethought to buy them the week before the Morecambe game. He bought the Morecambe, York and Satanage tickets all at the same time. Happy in the thought that we could sit down and be a part of Stanley's history.

Now my father is disabled and I go as his carer and we need to sit to watch the game. This has never been a problem previously, in fact we have our own usual seats. But on Sunday I see something on here about reserved seating (a decision made after we purchased our tickets). So we phoned the club to just make sure we were ok to sit. To be told the tickets say Clayton End Terrace and there's nothing we can do.

Not happy Accy Stanley, if there's anybody from the club reading this can you please try and sort something.

Total sellout just announced. Not sure what they could do but if you can put it out on facebook or twitter I'd bet somebody would swap you for standing

Are you a season ticket holder???? Obviously the game was going to be a sell out and surely you would have realised all seats would be reserved beforehand?
 
Hmm interesting. I got mine I think 2 weeks ago from the Market stall and they had a seating plan etc
 
I bought mine from the club shop after the Morecambe game and, similar situation, I've ended up with standing tickets for me and my 3 (almost 4) yr old. I actually asked about reserved seating a couple of days later at reception and got told they didn't bother with it in the Clayton end.

First I heard about reserved seating was the post over the weekend. I tried calling but by the time I got through the Clayton end had sold out.

It's not ideal as I will now probably have to hold him for the game so he can see. But other people in this situation may not be as lucky.

It is what it is, but I guess it could have been handled a bit better.

I'm sure you'll both accept that, with a sell-out, the 'usual' may not always be possible.
However, I always understood that you could choose to stand or sit on the Clayton End. I'm not sure if Chopper's reference to 'not bothering' means that approach will still apply on Saturday or whether you either stand or you sit where you're allotted a specific seat number (do they even have seat numbers on the Clayton End?).
If that's the case, then get there early to get a seat.
But whatever the arrangements, knowing Stanley fans and Accrington folk, I'm sure there would be someone in a seat who'd be willing to let a disabled chap and/or a small child sit down if they were asked politely.
I'm lucky enough to have secured tickets for the Clayton End but don't know and don't care if I'm standing or sitting. But, if it's the latter, I'll be happy to swap if I see someone who's in more need.
