TICKETS (6 Viewers)

[shmmeee]

The fact that in 2013, when Sisu were at the height of their incompetency, could get home fans behind the goal against Crewe, but we can’t now raises serious questions.

What has changed?

Can only be the SAG surely unless Wasps fucked around with anything?

Ive bought one for my Boro supporting mate, mostly so that if he can get tickets for the away leg he’ll take me.

I went on the boro site there is a big disclaimer stating " any away fans in the home sections at the riverside will be ejected without refund" so be careful.

It’s OK, I won’t be in colours and will be very quiet and sat with someone in a Boro shirt.

Isn’t it terrible having all these issues of squeezing in over 31000, i much preferred it in block 17 when we had most of a row to ourselves

 

[bigfatronssba]

any empty blocks will purely be an old bill/sag decision

My understanding is though they only advise.

The ground has a valid safety certificate for 32k people.
The only obligation on the club is to ensure that those 32k people can attend without coming to harm.
The fact that the club feels the need to have 2k empty seats to meet its obligations demonstrates it’s own lack of confidence in crowd control

Sounds more and more like there will be no additional tickets. How embarrassing will that look on telly.

As someone said above. It shouldn’t be a ‘one size fits all’ approach. You should look at risk on a game by game basis. This is a lunchtime kickoff against Boro who have been allocated 2000.
To equate that risk with the Brum game Is ridiculous.

How many would we get at Wembley should we get there ?

I've heard conflicting

27000 , 33000 , 37000

Last year Forest and Huddersfield each got about 36,500 tickets.

That’s compared to about 45,000 that we got for the Checkatrade final, and about 40,000 for the L2 playoff final.

The stadium was designed so that the south stand could be segregated like this (we had st holders in there for one season):

correct, i spent half a season directly behind the goal - Coleman season when Mifsud was coming towards the end of his time here

Vague replies from WMP also:

29000 with 14000 seats for segregation either side

'We are doing everything we can'.

Well, you said that for the Birmingham game and still had Block 13 closed.

Your right Mickey mouse set up. We just dont have the staff to execute anything out of the ordinary at this moment.

Not the police then, so clearly the SAG:

 

[jordan210]

im still convinced someone on the SAG owns a company that provides the netting.

nonsense, they ask for the segregation

It’s time we got the corporate interests of Big Netting out of our game!

 

[bigfatronssba]

nonsense, they ask for the segregation

But the club should just ignore them.

It is the club choosing to do this

 

[hill83]

We can see right through it

 

[bigfatronssba]

So as it stands, with blocks 6-13 being given to 2k away supporters and segregation, a "sell out" crowd will be 27,500.

We will look pathetic on the TV

Can’t be less than just over 30000 surely

I'd like to see the net worth

 

[Robinshio]

I'd like to see the net worth

it really is full of holes

So the police liaison officer is telling porkies?

 

[fernandopartridge]

Surely if the club has a safety certificate for a 32k capacity then it takes precedence over everything else. It's just a matter of organisation.

 

[fernandopartridge]

The club once again just looks like a L2 level amateurish operation - how, given the Birmingham game, has it not properly planned for this eventuality?

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Shambles from King, club is making a joke out of itself as usual

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

I think many involved are telling a version of their truth to suit their arguments

Exactly that, The club has an obligation to ensure spectator safety, and not oversell tickets.

Everything else is simply advice as far as I'm aware.

So if the Police say "we don't want you to open block 13", what are they going to do about it if we did? Nothing because the club is legally entitled to open it.

 

[mark82]

So looking at this recent pic, the concourse barrier must be between 11 & 10. So realistically, we could only have 13 and 12 opened up.

View attachment 29499

That barrier is killing us.

Then use 10 as segregation and open 11, 12, 13.

Why?

 

[Sick Boy]

Nothing to fear, Big D will be on it.

That will be an extra 100 officers at a cost of blah I suspect
Just some honest communication would be good

 

[CV22SBA]

Anyone else just receive their tickets in the post even though they selected the "Add to card option"?

Good pay day for them!

They only need to be placed between home and away fans.

Where I sit in block 23, the average age is about 73, there is no need to have any police stationed there. The amount of home fans in the ground shouldn't have any bearing on the number of police inside the ground.
