Id get a guaranteed reciprocal ticket numbers deal with them. If they give us 2 we give them 2, if they give 5 we give 5. and then no matter what it takes I'd either split the away end or hire some portaloos and burger vans and open the relic up to the poor sods who will have to sit in it
yeah but then he might risk seeing no football played, silent atmosphere and be bored. ;-) oh and still take 2hrs to get out of car park.
I don't think the crowd matters that much the club will give them the full end 5k as opposed to 2k and make another 45k.
Spot on! More important to limit their number. We’ll be lucky to sell 3k for the Away fixture. Zero chance of selling 5k - so just limit them and try to ensure we’re still in the tie after 90 mins (or 96mins)
On the advice of South Yorkshire Police, the first leg at Oakwell has been changed to Friday to avoid clashing with Sheffield United’s home game with Nottingham Forest. https://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/spo...ers-v-barnsley-play-off-semi-final-dates-set/
According to EFL it has neen Saturday night since announced earlier in week, but i suppose TV companies have been brown enveloping
Surely it should be 10% of available capacity, so if they are petty to us we can choose to only give them around 1,600.
I know the blame has been put on SYP but you're on to something. Aren't EVERY play off semi final always on TV? Like literally every single one? So if that's the case how can it ever have been scheduled for the 3:30pm on Saturday afternoon time that the EFL announced earlier in the week when it is illegal to show football on TV at that time?
Toughshit holds 28723, can't see them giving us 500 more tickets than we give them even if we go off our theoretical capacity.
More to the point. we wouldn't play on the sunday cos the ladies were at home. So why expect Donny to change.
As I remember it, it was us who requested to reduce the allocation to Bolton, they agreed and reciprocated. As we had home advantage in the second leg it was deemed to reduce the vocal support of the away fans. As to not lift their team. Worked in essence.
Does anyone know if away goals rule count in the play offs? Just want to know so we know if there's double jeapody for a Bolton goal on Friday
So on that basis even if we had finished 5th they would have made us play Friday night? So announcing the dates weeks ago was a complete waste of time.....
