Kusunga_Is_God Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 138 left. I didn’t think in a million years we’d take this many. Superb effort. Just hope they put a shift in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longtimeblue Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Surely they'll give us more? Ground's to big for them anyway so you'd have thought they may as well just give us as many as we want. Another 1,000 would make sure there was no one in the home ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay next time we will just do one per customer, then if a couple want to go with their kids, they’ll have to get their kids to come to the Ticket office and purchase and then have seats not even close to their parents Not very logical is it?

Gonna ask first thing tomorrow but it’s probably unlikely, they’ve already give us 25% of the grounds capacity which is 10% more than what we are entitled to (FA rules) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it’s down to safety/stewarding/policing reasons though. It costs clubs to open a section of the stand up or give a section of the home end to away fans as they need to pay for more stewards, more policing, and obviously take into account the safety aspect of things. sometimes the cost of this isn’t worth it... plus we don’t know how well Doncaster are doing for home tickets, or how many they anticipate will POTD. will enquire though and of course provide an update on the outcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vast majority of fans recognise the tough job the ticket office do well for big games. I genuinely don’t know if he’s being serious or not. Don’t mind either though. Don’t like ignoring trolls, better to just call them out and prove them wrong! If he’s not trolling then hope he realises now why we do four per customer Yeah everyone works hard! isn’t just me, Sue the woman I work with should be retired and should be working with us part time, at the moment she’s doing full time hours. Ashleigh the commercial assistant should be focusing on commercial but was a massive help today. ive seen Sam get some slack on social media, I mean we all do, but sam’s a credit to the football club and he’s going to be a massive loss to us. Dom the media assistant started just before me and he’s still getting to grips with the role, like myself our new club secretary mark Sheridan puts in a right shift and does a lot of late nights, he’s really hit the ground running taking over from Richard and he’s also a credit to the football club they might not like me going on but they all deserve a pat on the back from the fans too. Not one person slacks off so it is nice when good things get said about us all! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So really the attitude is we don't care who we sell them to as long as we sell them quickly. Should be 2 per person maximum, no exceptions.

Dick_Valentine Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I didn’t realise until now this was POTD for home fans, they’re bound to give us more tickets if only to avoid aggro in the home end surely? Reckon we could easily take best part of another 1000 to this if we had tickets, probably 4-500 of those would risk it in the home end. Could get lairy on Saturday?

welshgaz Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Must admit I was surprised at how many each person could buy. I'd hazard a guess the club have massively underestimated the demand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence why we would sell 4 to a father of 3 who wants to go to the game with his 3 kids who are at school whilst he’s coming to the Ticket office to buy tickets before work etc etc etc We did 4 when on general sale for Fulham, why would we change that now? everyone who wanted a ticket for Fulham got one nobody knew that we would take this many to Doncaster. Even I couldn’t guess two per person is stupid, especially when people work, are at school, and there’s no home game between now and the game. Nobody else has complained?
