    Had my own moans this season, but even at 5.30pm yesterday noone was sure of arrangements for play offs. League site said one thing, sky site said something else. 4 days is not enough time to sell tickets for a big game. Where is the club supposed to get staff from to meet such a bigger than usual demand? I live out of Barnsley and understand why folks are unhappy, but BFC is not really to blame - Sky & the league should have made it alot clearer alot earlier. Only thing they could have done was to have printed the contingency plans in the press.... but even then the timescales would have been same.
    Lets face it anyone who wants a ticket for Oakwell will get one... it's the away leg that BFC should sort out - I don't think we should let them have more than the North stand .

    One point I have not seen touched upon

    Not everyone has access to the internet.

    How would you have felt if the club had put the Huddersfield tickets up for sale today (Sunday) and you did not know about it until details were put in the press and on the radio tomorrow? Had they all been sold, I reckon you would be mighty cross with the club.

    That of course assumes some thought had gone in to it

    or that they gave a toss</p>

    I was going to say earlier that the club has made a minimal amount of information available via the web. Those with no access have been excluded.</p>

    A plan should have been published in the chronicle / bradford programme and the absence of such information in said publications is innexcusable.</p>

    That is why they could have put details in the Chron on Friday and in the programme last week.

    Ok, that's fair criticism

    My Dad rang me up today because he doesn't have any idea what is happening.

    To be honest, they could have told us of their intentions at the Bradford game couldn't they?

    I am led to believe that details SHOULD have been in the Chronicle on Friday....

    but were not!!!

    I'm going to regret posting that aren't i? I was advised earlier that....

    details should have been in the Chronicle on Friday, but were not. To me that doesn't add up, cos the details would have been posted on website etc on Friday. Just what i was told.

    I don't believe it for a second....

    cos they'd have been on the web too. I was just informed of that earlier in the day!
