It's all well saying that now but there would have been an uproar if they planned for the Yeovil or say Preston game.
Theres still time for it to be sorted and for it to be a terrific occasion, keep the faith. Who could have even imagined being in this position 4 weeks ago?
What I don't get is why sisu would purposely sell less tickets than they could?

More tickets will be made available. The seats not taken by ex season ticket holders will go on general and they will open the rest of the home area in the south stand. It's a short time scale to move back to the Ricoh and sort season tickets out and they probably have been surprised by demand but more tickets will be released. I know the modern world is all about instantness but sometimes you just need a little patientce. I predict a gate of about 26k with about 500 from Gillingham!!
I don't think the club have handled this very well. They really ought to have carried on selling tickets. Plenty of football clubs have stood up to unreasonable police demands in the past and they always prevail.
That said, the blame here really lies at the door of the SAG, and that is essentially the police. If people really want to get this resolved they should be hounding them on twitter and anyone at Wycombe tonight should be chewing PC Mapp's ear off.
20,000 is better than 2,000 at the Sixfields !
Its not all about this game, we have others after it.
I dread to think what will happen if we cram everyone in and lose, with an abject performance. We need bums on seats all season, not just for the return. The way its been handled is no shock at all, we are talking about SISU here, but we are home !
It's also about the SAG making sure there are enough medical staff, police etc on duty to cope with a major event. Normally events with 25k are in diary for a long time and planning is in place, they don't spring up with a 2 week notice. Anyone who thinks the club wants empty seats is a complete tool .... They are controlled by the SAG
What doesn't help is the amount of people buying 8 tickets. Call me old fashioned but I suspect plenty of these go once or twice a season and Gillingham at a tenner is this season's go to game.

It's not deliberate, just incompetence.
If you can think of a legitimate reason as to why the amount of tickets made available for the JPT game can't be made available now then I'd like to hear it.
I want home fans behind both!Nick originally the club said the north stand would be closed every game unless demand meant they had to open it.
Do you think they are being charged less rent if they do not open the north stand, no catering staff, no food stewards police etc?
Now they have opened the north stand and not the south?
You want your home fans behind one goal surely?...
Some may be against it but maybe the club should of waited and gave the team the welcome they deserve with a full house instead of it being a total balls up.

All the city fans who can't get a ticket, just go and buy them in the 4000 Gillingham end.
See how the SAG likes that.
