I would think it's just operational NSoul. I wouldn't read anything into it. Would you expect Carlisle to sell 2500? With their present League position?......

Not sure what you mean by "operational" CG ?
Anybody can see from past allocations that the maximum is somewhere around the 2700 that Bradford has last week yet Carlisle are given not much more than a third of that with no explanation given as to why whatsoever and without any hint of an explanation from Stanley.
To be honest i expected better than this from Stanley, Andy Holt and the management team at the Wham. [ Carlisle are just saying it was a decision made at the Accrington end and theres nothing they can do about it ]
And to answer your question yes the 2700 would have sold easily [ unless you fancy trekking to Cheltenham for a dead rubber game ] it will be a lot of fans last chance to see their club away in the football league ] and for instance the 1750 that Morecambe gave [ the maximum they can offer ] for the game next week sold out on the first day of sale not going beyond the top priority level [Season ticket holders] and i would have thought the not letting the opposition fill the ground argument is much more relevant to them than to Accy dont forget this is a club who last season took over 4k to two away games [at Bolton and at Wigan] and over 3k to two more matches.
But to look on the bright side to see that Stanley are now doing so well financially that they can afford to turn down the 50k that the missing 1700 would have put into the coffers can only be good news.
