    They've done it again.

    This is an advert for a game at Oakwell on Tuesday night right? So I click the link to buy tickets contained within the ad

    Oh and the link for hospitality simply loads a blank email too.

    There have been issues with both the Fixtures and Tickets pages on the official website for quite some time. As the platform is hosted by the EFL, I doubt it is limited to just BFC.

    It's the club who put the ads on though and it's not just tickets for this, it's been absolutely anything sales related for months that have been shockingly worded, had links that don't work, or have just made claims that weren't fulfilled. I don't know if we've got someone new in in charge of marketing but they are seriously underperforming and it's costing the club vital money.

    Actually, the banner at the bottom takes me directly to the ticketing page for that game. Suspect the first one is created by the EFL system and the last one is added by the club.

    Come along to a game where we don’t give a toss whether we win or not. Mmm quite an offer.

    Beside the Grimsby tickets is the Carabao Cup logo. We don't even know what competition we are playing in.

    The first one wasn't there the other day when they advertised the "next three games" though which suggests it's manually put there and it's not there on Rotherham United's articles advertising games or Fleetwood's.

    I just think it's poor that you have to go searching for it after clicking on the link in the ad. It should take you directly to it. And our advertising this summer has been atrocious, we've got it wrong almost every time.

    Im told that when they tag an article as ‘ticket news’ for a single game that is what the EFL platform creates with the first two links. I guess Rotherham dont do that but that probably means they miss out functionality wise in other ways.

    I can understand why League football always takes priority over the Cups, especially when its the difficult early rounds.
    But remember the great midweek night Cup matches at Oakwell, when we always put out strong teams with the intent of winning.
    Its even gone beyond 'squad rotation' now, where we'd make a few changes, but still hoped to win the tie.
    There's little or no temptation to go and watch this game against Grimsby's reserves, just like it was against Tranmere's reserves in the other Cup.

    Someone posted on another page that only East stand lower is open to Home fans, not bothered checking but if true sounds like club is expecting many to turn up either.

    I wonder if we might see some of the new signings and some of those coming back from injury. Could end up with a strong team if Collins decides to go that route.

    Only the ESL area has been released and I’ve successfully bought tickets with 2 separate transactions online during the last week.
    I’m certainly not very computer literate so just click on various items until it seems to work.

    I’m looking forward to it and don’t think £10 with £5 concessions is too much when you consider that it’s only the cost of 2 or 1 pints.

    I've two thoughts on this.
    For those who don't want us to actually try and win anything. Stop moaning about the competition and simply don't go.
    To the club. Either take the competition seriously and charge admission accordingly or, if you're going to treat it as a glorified friendly and play a team full of kids, charge the same price you do for going to watch the U21s.
