I want to go to Fleetwood on Saturday with 3 family members.
I am now informed that this game has become "All ticket" for Dale fans with a c1400 allocation.
So tomorrow early doors I will make my way to the ticket office at Dale, but I'm lead to believe that I will have little chance?
If this remains true, then shame on Fleetwood and we need to chant "NON-LEAGUE, and you know you are".

I'm the first to admit I know nothing about the logistics of housing football supporters inside a stadium. But on the surface of it, it hardly seems like rocket science. If the original allocation to away fans sells out, they increase it. If that sells out again, increase it again. Their ground holds about 5,500, so surely if they increase our allocation even to 2000 there'll still be ample space for locals. And all extra money through the gate. Where's the problem? |  |

It is possible that the cash rich club don't want 2 sides of the ground occupied by Dale fans in their biggest game of the season.
Or like our fans, people don't like being moved from their normal place.
Same goes for the #obsessed fans recently, who didnt want to move when asked politely by their stewards |  |

It's all been magnified because it has happened in the last couple of days. As predicted. Fleetwood could and should have forecast this possibility and planned accordingly.
15th of March that other thread started... |  |

Good points. Although if it meant upsetting a few folk, I'd be happy to risk that on a one off basis if it meant filling the ground. | |

Grow some brown teeth, rub yourself in cod liver oil and turn up at the home end.
Voila. |  |

I'd be concerned for my safety, can you imagine trying not to celebrate a goal? It'd be like stifling a yawn while your boss is talking to you, you just look demented. | |

Their biggest crowd this season was 4521 v Chesterfield. If they think they are going to get similar on Saturday or maybe even more they will be loathe to give up any of their home ends just in case. |  |

To the OP. At tonight's AGM CG said there were 120 odd tickets left which he expects will sell out during the morning. So if you go between 9am and 10am, you should be ok.
I think this means our overall following will be in the region of 1400 plus those who follow Judd's advice and go in the home end.
They also informed us that we have requested a full 'in advance' allocation from Mansfield, and are talking to Newport. |  |

Thank you, I'll phone up first thing, fingers crossed. If I can't get tickets now this weekend's gonna be shit! The wife's talking about going to the bloody waxworks of all things.
Edit- apologies to the actual OP, getting my threads mixed up! Thanks for the info anyway. [Post edited 27 Mar 2014 22:46]

Given this more thought and seems like the dale end is going to be rammed and would like to be part of it rather than just settling for home end
If anyone is going down to the ticket office this morning and are able to purchase 2 extra standing adult tickets I'd PayPal or transfer the money over to you ASAP today
Appreciate it's a Long shot but worth a go, thanks . KHBA |  | | |

Surely that wouldn`t be allowed to happen because it would be propping up a failing venture (The shop). It would also be a kick in the teeth to those who produce and contribute to our excellent matchday programme.
I haven't seen any figures from the AGM but if any department is seen as not pulling its weight then its the directors/Chairman responsibility to sort it out. Maybe the figures make good reading, I don't know. | | | |

Yes. We made an expected loss of £375,000. When stacked up against our two previous profitable saeasons where about a £700,000 profit was posted, we have enough in the bank t tide us over for at least another season.
This season's cup run has boosted the coffers by around £200,000.
Season tickets will be going on sale soon and there has been yet another price freeze.
And yes, the commercial figures are fudged to give the shop a shred of credibility. Shop sales fell to £75,981 whilst spending on stock rose to £61,985. Take away wages and other costs the shop is losing money.
But, they dropped an astonishing bombshell! Programme sales fell from £43,317 to £21,778. This was due to some programme monies going through the shop like the supporters coach money does.
So the real shop sales figure could be around the £50,000 mark despite spending £61,985 on stock plus wages etc. The club is haemorraghing thousands of pounds with an arm that once used to chip in an annual £25-£30,000.
But, this gets flagged up every year and nowt changes.
Oh, and Hill is under budget this year and is working to a smaller budget than Colman who, they said, got everything he was promised and asked for. Contrary to the Scouse one's interview on departure! | |
