Apologies if this conversation is buried in a thread somewhere...
Harrogate are not allowing away fans in their stadium for a pre season game against Doncaster. They also weren't allowed any supporters whatsoever for a game against Sunderland the other day.
With that in mind, and our game only being 8 days away (and we play there in the cup 3 days later).. does anyone have any idea what arrangements are for the game? Will we need tickets? Can we pay on the gate?
If somebody from the club is reading this then any information would be appreciated
Dalenet seems to have lost the plot here, as well as his argument, which is sad, because he is usually a good poster on here. Just so he knows why I am disagreeing so strongly with him on this occasion....
1) Harrogate are NOT newly promoted. They won promotion the season before last...about 15 months ago. Plenty of time to sort these things out with the authorities.
2) If travelling by train, you need to plan your journey more that a day or two in advance. Likewise, ordering tickets etc needs to be done in advance.
3) Away fans were not allowed into stadiums last season; even when a limited number of home supporters were. This meant that there was less need for stewarding/segregation/cctv etc than if away fans were present.
According to a train guru acquaintance, the fare is the same if you pay on the day.
He usually knows his stuff, but maybe he's wrong on this occasion.
When I was your age, I used to enjoy the odd game of tennis. Or was it golf?

My staff discount doesn't apply to the advance fares. Hence it is the same price if I buy on the day. But for those that have bought pre booked/advance tickets the situation is not good seeing as the tickets are non refundable.

Think it’s very unlikely we will be attending Harrogate on Saturday this is diabolical 72 hours before the fixture and no news too late to book supporters coaches as firms need to know.

All very depressing TVOS very Tinpot by Harrogate to make matters worse we can’t even view it on iFollow. I like the commentary as the guys do a good job . Hopefully we get a definite answer at the fans forum this evening.

I have to agree, it is a utter shambles and apparently the Sunderland fans were not impressed to see their pre-season called over at the last minute. The EFL must take action, because it is totally unacceptable, even the home fans don't know if they can attend.

I have a feeling that the EFL will give us special dispensation with iFollow on Saturday.
I asked the question on Twitter last night, but has there ever been an EFL game where one club's supporters had no legal way of watching the match either in the ground or via a stream? (Unless supporters were banned as a form of punishment?)

All Dale fans have waited 18 months for this we shouldn’t be debating if we can attend the game . I’m my opinion we should be offered to view it on iFollow bare minimum. Looking forward to the forum tonight at least they’ll be no tears except for us fans who can’t attend.

I've been past Harrogate's ground a few times. We could probably watch it from outside.
