Ben1985 Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 mad mofo's waiting before the ticket office is open ! I know, I shouldn't have bothered waiting outside from 5:30 onwards with my sleeping bag and flask of hot Vimto. I thought there would be masses of people like when tickets went on sale for the Blackpool play-off match a few years back. My bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pukka Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 I dont think it'll be on anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outoftheblue Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 mad mofo's waiting before the ticket office is open ! One or two of us were invited to wait inside by Sir Alan of Hardy to keep out of the cold. Turning up at 8.40 was clearly the right thing to do. Never offered us a bacon butty though like they used to. Customer service is slipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldhamSheridan Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 I dont think it'll be on anyway So long as they call it off nice and early (Friday for instance would be great). Last time was just a bit of a drizzle to get through. This time is likely to be snow and ice which could be a bit more problematic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turning up at 8.40 was clearly the right thing to do. Never offered us a bacon butty though like they used to. Customer service is slipping. When we arived early to get the Chasetown tickets, AH invited everyone in the queue to come inside and he gave us a cup of tea. We were reluctant to accept the invitation because we thought we'd lose our place in the queue, but he allowed us to buy the tickets from the side window of the ticket office.

Diego_Sideburns Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 So long as they call it off nice and early (Friday for instance would be great). They're hoping to sell those 700 programmes before calling it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diego_Sideburns Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 We have leant little Rochdale our frost covers to get the game on Bacon butties, cups of tea, frost covers - we must be the nicest Club in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 This all looks like it's leading to a pitch inspection on Saturday when the covers have been removed,......and then another inspection to see if the frosty patches thaw out......then a kick-off only to find parts are unplayable....then...... If the grass has turned yellow under a double set of covers, will they have to use a white ball? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yard Dog Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 So, 200 tickets were returned and these have been put back on sale. What about tickets that were neither returned or exchanged i.e lost/destroyed ? I wonder how many of those there are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a case of 3200 sold in the first place, 3000 re-claimed up until the deadline, and therefore 200 put on open sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are only selling the tickets that were refunded, so any unclaimed tickets due to loss of stubs etc will result in an empty seat i believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveoafc Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 They are only selling the tickets that were refunded, so any unclaimed tickets due to loss of stubs etc will result in an empty seat i believe That's my understanding too, you needed the original stub to get an exchange, so anyone who lost or made tickertape with theirs would have to purchase a new one from the 200 returned. It remains to be seen how many empty places there will be. Thank god i kept mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opinions4u Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 (edited) BBC Weather Linky -4 overnight +1 daytime = no chance of being played. Assuming the forecast is accurate. Edited November 25, 2010 by opinions4u Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveoafc Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 BBC Weather Linky -4 overnight +1 daytime = no chance of being played. Assuming the forecast is accurate. Some would say line up a couple of dozen OWTB members around the pitch. The hot air spouted would ensure the game is on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
