The thing is we (Town) have to admit that our support can be fairweather in the extreme. To illustrate Oldham brought around 2,500+ t' pharm last season when they were doing pretty poor at that point in the league. We took 4,600 in the cup which was impressive only to take just over 1,000 there a few months later. Not to mention we are supposed to have a larger fanbase.

As a Town fan I do apologise re this whole ticketing issue. It will most likely be down to the police and our 'safety committee', who would rather see a half empty away end with home fans being as far away from that stand as possible (they used to cover the end blocks of the John smiths & riverside stand) and a ratio of two policeman to every one away fan as they can't do their jobs properly. What they ever fail to acknowledge is that if any fan is intent on causing trouble, they will travel regardless of whether they have a ticket or not. Anyway should be a good game and a decent atmosphere.

I hope you guys do get to pay on the day, it makes no sense to turn customers away. That stand has the capacity of 4,000 and you'll be in on your own, so the whole thing is quite ridiculous if we don't allow you to pay on the day. No doubt it'll be something to do with the police

We (HTFC) don't, hence we have lower attendances than Seaon Ticket holders.
