is it true that the club have been told by the police they can't sell tickets to anyone

for the man utd game unless they have been to a game before and have proof ie stub or name on the system down oakwell

they aren't sellin to anyone without at least ticket stub

 

unless your in the centenary society or have a reds saver account

 

whether or not the police have the power to dictate this I doubt, they may have made a polite suggestion, either way there appears to be no general sale

 

Whether or not it's the police

It's a great idea and one I hadn't thought of. Stop those plastic Scum fans buying our tickets (at least unless they're given stubs by our 'fans')

Well done BFC on that one.

 

Can see people "lending" ticket stubs or renting them out

Just so people can get tickets. Gonna be like Noel Edmonds Swop Shop

 

RE: Can see people "lending" ticket stubs or renting them out

When it comes to 'general sale' then I don't have too much of a problem with that TBH. So long as the stubs go to genuine BFC fans, I'm not bothered. There should be enough seats to cater for all those that want one and have been to a game this season.

What they've done is put the responsibility on OUR fans not to hand out stubs to Man Utd fans...

Whether I think our fans will shoulder that responsibility (especially if offered cash from the Plastic Scum) is a different qustion mind...
