rudemedic Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 For those wanting to go, and currently without a ticket, but unable to go BP to collect before Saturday. This post indicates you might be able to collect from Tranmere.

If it is that, a League below, and no pay on the day being a big factor, that is not all that bad. Edited November 21, 2018 by singe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom_Bombadil Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Tranmere fan here. Good to be in competition with you again. The number of club forums who say "we'll do McNulty for pace" is becoming more and more of a repetitive joke. In the league Tranmere have conceded three league goals this season. Nearly every side was going to do McNulty for pace. Not seen it happen yet. perhaps Saturday? Thats if he plays. See you all Saturday. Looking at something around the 7,000 mark.

And you probably believe that the more contentious or ridiculous the post, the stronger the pushback will be. And this obviously gives you a kick. You seem to revel in our current position and look for any opportunity to provide an example of ‘how far we’ve fallen’. Almost as if you get some sort of warped pleasure from our current status. The majority of Latics fans are painfully aware that we are now playing at the same level as, and losing to, teams such as Newport and Stevenage. Rather than use the number of tickets sold (almost 1100 tickets sold with two days to go) as a negative, why not look at it as a huge positive? Despite all that we have been through, there is a strong and loyal core of fans who continue to provide excellent support to the club away from home. I’m not sure if there is anyone, who either reads or contributes to this forum, who takes you seriously any more - if they ever did that is. I realised this a long time ago; I’m just waiting for the day when you do. Edited November 21, 2018 by TheBigDog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24424 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Yep, there was a safety issue down at the front of the Cowshed last season v Wrexham, where I think one fella broke his leg unfortunately. Since then, the bottom 10 or so rows of seats are covered by advertisements, which reduces the capacity to approx 1600. I am guessing, but this maybe why TRFC don't want pay on the gate if you have shifted substantial tickets in advance, as any over subscription on the day may prove tricky to manage. To to be honest, unless I am missing something, it wouldn't be a huge ask to open a few more rows of seats if current capacity was reached, but then there may be safety issues with that I am not aware of. As you will appreciate, there haven't been many occasions in recent seasons when away attendances at Prenton Park have been anywhere near capacity, so maybe the powers that be need to look at reinstating the full seating in the Cowsheds. On the positive side, hopefully you will find the catering a bit better than last time (it is now done in house) and with a bit of luck, the beer may still be in date ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, not speaking from a position of strength, but in principle yes, but I would imagine segregation and policing issues would be complicated with two sets of fans sharing facilities under one of the other stands, such as catering and toilets. In reality, Wrexham apart, nobody has come close to filling the Sheds for several years so it hasn't been an issue. My gut feeling is that if you had shifted 1600 tickets and demand was still there, more space would have been found in the existing away end, as why would the club want to turn away income? Hopefully whatever the safety issue is can be properly addressed at some point, and the away capacity increased back up to 2400. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was 757 last time, even less under TP the previous year just after the Everton cup game - genuinely around 400-500. We've never travelled particularly well to each other, it’s a complete myth...
