We're fast approaching the 4,000 mark for the number of tickets snapped up by Dale fans for Monday’s FA Cup fourth round tie v Stoke City at Spotland.

As well as buying person at the RAFC Ticket Office, supporters can also purchase tickets over the phone. Please note, however, that phone bookings must be made via the See Tickets Call Centre, which can be contacted on 01158960130. The call centre is open 24 hours a day. Booking fees apply.

Supporters attending the game are asked to keep their ticket stubs. Should Dale progress to the fifth round of the FA Cup, fans with a ticket stub will have the benefit of priority purchase for that round.

Any other questions people want raising? Will get them in to the Trust this week so please stick them here by the end of today.

Those in so far from various posts:

1. Why couldn't tickets have been put on general sale straight after the Crawley game to allow fans attending the game to buy tickets?

2. Why couldn't there have been a 'crossover period' where tickets were on general sale, but with Season Ticket holders still having their seats/space reserved for a few more days? This would have seen anyone able to buy tickets on the day of the Crawley game.
(Something similar happened v Sheff Wed last season:

All fans were able to buy tickets when we played Plymouth the week before, with Season Ticket reservations in place until close of business after that game)

3. Why could Stoke fans buy tickets on the day of the game yet home fans couldn't? Also what had changed which now means Trust members can't buy tickets on the day of a game?

4. What were the advantages of using a telesales company rather than selling them over the phone at the club?

5. Are the club happy with how the telesales idea went and will feedback be sought from fans who used the service?

6. What was the percentage of non/semi regulars buying tickets and what follow up plans are in place to attract them back in the future?

7. What is the current situation in terms of having online ticketing available?

8. What is the current capacity of Spotland? Could this be broken down into capacities of each stand?

Thanks in advance to the Trust for their co-operation and interest in what has been raised on here.
