3.00pm kick off All ticket game
:twisted:

Can we play it at the end of Jan when their team has been decimated and filled with lower league players??

Not that is affects me but what is this about?

'The game will be provisionally all ticket'?

It's either all ticket or not all ticket.

What's the problem with it being all ticket and a 3pm kick off? Or have I missed something?

It's no surprise to me at all tbh.

It's either all ticket or not all ticket.

they did that last time i think at their 'stadium' where the police said it was all ticket and then they changed it last minute so you could pay at the gate

i was just pointing out the key stuff as the FA trophy game was moved forward

its always been 3pm
its obviously gonna be all ticket
but if we dont sell many then we open to pay on the gate and hopefully get a few more last min people in and try to fill the ground meaning more profits for the club
makes perfect sense to me

So why say provisional all-ticket on the OWS on the web-site?
They're putting doubt in people's mind that they might change it with a few days to go.

I personally think to make such a fixture all-ticket where the stadium will be no more than 45-50% full is a nonsense and will stop the casual fan from bothering to come along because of the hassle of buying a ticket in advance.
I know it's going to be pointed out that this has been done because the club(s), police and Uncle Tom Cobley think that a few knob-heads might try to get in the wrong end but if that happened I sure that Northamptonshire's finest/stewards would be quite capable of sorting that out.

Talk about any excuse for a moan.

Didnt they make it all ticket last time to stop scum fans getting in the home end? Makes perfect sense to me.

Why is it putting doubt in peoples minds? Just buy a ticket in advance. You've got enough time and it's the same price. The game is all ticket unless they decide otherwise.

On policing games like this it tends to be all ticket at the request of Police who have been known to threaten to withdraw unless their conditions are met.

So you're entitled to moan but no one else can? No wonder this forum is dying on it's feet.

Just trying to debate the issue and try to get someone to explain why the need for the word 'Provisional' in the Club statement.

It's either all ticket or it isn't. Doesn't affect me, as I pointed out in my first post since I'm a season ticket holder. Last word on the matter.
Bye.
