Splitting the away end Saturday with home fans. And charging home fans peanuts to fill ground and us £30 nice of em. http://www.examiner.co.uk/sport/football/news/south-stand-open-huddersfield-town-11750224
Makes sense for them to fill their ground with their own fans. Probably now be one of their biggest ever gates at the ground definitely in the league.
Think they have gave us a extra 170 we have just shirt of 2000 and they have the rest of the stand. We have around 500 tickets left according to bfc box office so if your wanting to go I'd buy sooner rather than later.
Let's hope when it comes to the end of the season return fixture we just give them the west stand Sent from my SM-G903F using Tapatalk
Re: so we should do the same on the return fixture Their own usual home ends will be full so they are making most of a stand built to split so that they get more of their own fans in. Nothing up with that.
I'm walking to Huddersfield next Saturday to raise money for disabled sport, but I'm not going to the match if that's the way our fans are treated. I'll spend the afternoon in a suitable pub. Football has got too expensive and sooner or later someone has to vote with their feet. After walking 18 miles to get there, I'm hoping I'll still be able to vote with mine.
Re: so we should do the same on the return fixture They are selling us tickets for 30 quid and their own fans them for a fiver seems fair.
And when we've raised the idea of a flexi-ticket at Oakwell, we're told that the FL rules don't allow us to do that without making the same concessions for away supporters. Who's telling the truth?
Re: so we should do the same on the return fixture Not breaking any rules and nothing to stop us doing the same in the return fixture. Wish when our home ends were so packed for big games we had the know how to use the north stand segregated like it was built for so we could look after our fans more and keep the away following down. Less away fans should mean lower policing bill for them and keeps our noise down. All that matters is what happens on the pitch anyway.
Re: so we should do the same on the return fixture You are allowed three local promotions a season. So in the return fixture make it a fiver game and £30 for them. **** em Cryne lad
Re: so we should do the same on the return fixture Dads got a HD postcode seriously considering sitting in the home end
They've got this curious arrangement of having season ticket holders in what is effectively the away end. If a club can commit to filling the away end they move these home fans to another area. Clearly our sales so far have suggested we'd fall some way short of selling all 4,000 or whatever the stand holds. It makes sense therefore to allocate these seats for home fans. I believe that this is also their 'singing section' where their more organised, lively fans gather, so extra pressure may have been applied to keep them in the 'away' stand if possible. I think the price and lack of available train travel may have put loads of our fans off, which is a shame but more than understandable. To think we're paying six times more than some Huddersfield fans for the same game is galling. A similar policy for our home encounter would be nice to see (and I like Huddersfield Town as a rule!)
Yeah our tickets had been on general sale for a week and we'd still nowhere near sold our initial allocation so you can't blame them really. The price shouldn't matter because you have to expect a club to look after their own. It will be kinda like a thank you for continued support so not going to be passed on to our lot going once a season to hopefully see them lose.
