Sold out, didn't get a ticket so won't be there!! Gutted 😭😭 Not sure if it will work. But I would try to ring the club Friday or Saturday. Might get a few tickets returned Yeah, don't give up hope. Even if they haven't got any stashed away 'just in case'... it's always possible Stones won't sell their entire allocation and the segregation fence can be shuffled up a bit late in the day. Get yourself on a list for stand-by's, should such a list exists. |

Not sure if this has surprised the club with the speed of the sell out, but I do think for any similar stature games in the future season ticket holders should have their ticket reserved for a period of time.

Have to agree with this, even if it's just a case of collecting email addresses when season tickets are purchased and emailing the ticket link to those addresses a day or two before it goes public. |

As a STH and a sponsor (and in fairness to the club), I got two emails from the club saying when tickets were going on sale later that day explaining how it would all work. Maybe more notice would have been better but it was at least something. |

100% agree.
I think its a good way for the club whatever level we are at next season to start some sort of loyalty scheme / club membership.
EG ST holders- Priority for Home cup games and away's
Rebels membership say £10-15ish a year - You get 2nd Priority to any games all funds go towards the ground and you cant purchase when we get a 'Glory tie' its only for current members.

I think we are now big enough for the WFCSA to become the "Official" Supporters Club and be absorbed into the club. Their aims are broadly similar and there would be more cohesion in things like loyalty schemes, away travel and merchandise. A formal and closer connection between business and their customer can only be a good thing. The ability to increase sales from that mailing list and data would be incredibly valuable. |

I'm not sure about WFCSA becoming an official part of the club. Yes the ownership and management we have are brilliant now but that hasn't always been the case and realistically may not be at some point in the future. I'd rather keep the current relationship and distance |

With a lot of Johnny Come Lately's for this game (and maybe yet even the final!) there'll be a lot of displaced regulars unless they arrive stupid early. Happens often enough already with non segregated games, away fans that came up on the coach with their team get first pick of the seats, and that's not fair. |

Cheers bud 👍 I can't help but feel though there's a good chance of a friendly in the summer whatever league we're in. Down here if we stay down but in York if went up... we'd surely have to dry run our long distance match day drills somewhere before the season starts. |

When the new stand is built the club may even bring back the 'Stand fee' used to me Morty stood there taking 50p off everyone. But in all seriousness a little like other do at this level and above what's the harm in numbering the seats and rows and selling them properly for and extra £1.50-2 a game and then have the normal terrace tickets. This then gives you 2 season ticket prices terrace or seated. Say we get 400 in that stand every week across thats an extra £18,000 a year.... |

I'm guessing AH will be at your game on Sunday? He gave a really insightful interview on local BBC radio yesterday teatime (link here) and then pitched up at our monthly supporters trust social gathering afterwards. He really is a nice bloke and we are all chuffed for him (Gary and Cam too) that he had success in the vital games at the end. |

Get yourself on a list for stand-by's, should such a list exists. There is no chance they will not sell out their entire allocation. I agree. They are moaning on their forum that they will be getting only about 450 tickets, when they have more than double that number of season-ticket holders. |
