I'm the last person to defend Sky but if it's nothing, and you're just ripping off a business that at least gives our club some money, take your stream and shove it where your ethernet doesn't shine.

Good for the Southern Reds I suppose but I can see where he was coming from.

any available to buy tonight?

I can fully understand why Stanley "MUST" gain extra revenue when they can, no problem at all wi that! But Stanley must understand how better to deal with stuff like this occurring, it aint very hard.

Doing the sums roughly, and ignoring concessions to make it simple, it would have needed an extra 3000 fans on (and there isn't room) to bring in the same revenue on the night if the price had been halved, and an extra 1000 (unlikely?) if it had been dropped to £15. So on purely financial grounds the pricing decision was probably right

, though a cheaper ticket might have attracted some newbies who might have got hooked and provided more revenue in the future.

What they clearly got wrong

was not allowing season ticket holders to buy two (or three) tickets when they went on restricted sale, as these are the people most likely to drag their mates (as in friends or other halves) along to a "big game", and that means they need to know they can sit next to them, so the tickets have to bought at the same time.

The business about moving season ticket holders without warning or apology is probably down to being taken by surprise by a "big game" turning up so early in the season without any contingency planning having been done

, so I would class that as regrettable but just about excusable.

Only my opinion - and god, I wish I'd made the effort to travel yesterday

That to me is inexcusable, We have been in the league 10 yrs now and things like that coulda happened ANY season, in 10 yrs we aint gone very Professional in my view. its poor simple as.

totally agree how can the club expect season ticket holders to buy a ticket for a friend when the designated seating required by the ticket is nowhere near the seat of the season ticket holder (as cashy would say simples)

Not really so 'simples' when you consider that the next seat may also be held by another season ticket holder.

Or they could buy two other tickets together and free up the season ticket one. Not hard to work round if you want to
