Paul Blake Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I always thought that this type of thing was down to policing. If a club makes it all ticket they can plan for X number of police/stewards. If they allow pay on the day then they could be under staffed should more people attend than expected. I get that this doesn't apply to every game but being it's a low priority fixture (checkatrade), maybe Mansfield cannot estimate how many people are going to attend so to keep policing costs down they are requesting attendee numbers up front.

Reckon I can estimate within 10 supporters how many away fans will attend. Edited January 5, 2017 by NewBlue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewBlue Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 (edited) Stuck your neck out there, predict away. Without ticket restrictions: 106.

Forte_Baby Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I am king of the attendances! Far to much on these. Nothing worse then seeing fans who seems there team loss then start going on about away followings. Rather just have the 3 points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 And not just as they were in their pomp, but as they are now. Seriously, we really need to do something like that. Maybe a couple of them with just any old :censored: players around them to do their running. It worked when we dragged Shez back into playing back in 2003.

Dave_Og Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Was on loan with us from Blackburn. think he has been at Norwich and Wednesday since and yes, he was rank. I suppose it is quite a rare game when there isn't someone playing for the opposition who was on loan with us at some stage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
