So if correct that solihull won't release all available capacity because they feel it will give them some perverse advantage. Well f..k em. I know this won't go down well especially with folk that have hardly missed a game all season let's stick 2 fingers up to them and boycott the game. The club not to sell any tickets the directors don't attend only minimum staff required. See what BT have to say about that when using their party line ofj praising the atmosphere these matches create
I know there are folk who don't want to miss a match (me) but Town fans could get a reputation as making a statement for the game.

Maybe a mad idea but still fuming at this pathetic club whilst on earlier morning ablutions.

Not a bad shout, all boycott the game and the club puts a screen up at the Technique and 9000 fans turn up so the club benefits financially and show on social media all the fans and the empty spaces at Solihull to make a point about this tinpot club.

Can you believe that despite knowing that the match was Tuesday night and that whomever got through would be wanting to sort out the tickets as the semi is on Sunday, that it turns out that Solihull Moors Football Club was closed yesterday, making it almost impossible to get the ticketing details sorted out.

There would be quite a few up for that. Do the powers that be read this Board. I know Phil T does.

[Tha Knows...]

The trust or PC should let the players know how Solihull have treated our fans and hopefully it will make the lads even more determined

Yes…

Seems the whole ethos of the club is to create a siege mentality and achieve whatever marginal gain they can by whatever means.

You could watch with a half decent step ladder from outside. Can anyone put a sofa on a cherry picker?

You jest but that is a potential problem for Solihull. What if 250 fans without tickets turned up? It's not exactly a hard ground to bunk into.

With all that’s gone off recently with pitch invasions etc, I think it would be a really bad idea and disastrous publicity for the club if anything like that we’re to happen.

They’ve given us 10% nothing we can do but beg.

I doubt that was how the 'spirit' of the law was intended.
I bet when they were 'ground graded' they'd be quick to point out the size of the away terrace exceeded requirements.
But the solihull ethos of 'if there's a law, its there to be abused' soon came into play

[Search & Destroy]

Anyone got a

“Football without fans is nothing” banner?

I’m up for boycotting the whole thing, watch it at Town/Home make it big on social media and make the (unts outcasts

May catch on and away fans of all teams could boycott them next season and beyond

Scab club

Now when i made a joke earlier in this thread about the league being closed for half day on a Wednesday....

Heard that have not sold tickets for the other half of the terrace behind the goal, they were planning on leaving it empty with Town fans standing behind the other half. They'd rather it be empty than have it full of our fans. Negotiations are ongoing and the NL are involved, I'm assuming this is why we have such a delay.

They really are trying to pull a fast one, and as someone has said, let's hope karma catches up with them on this. Even better scenario is land rover finally get their wishes of being gifted the land the ground sits on, they end up homeless and playing on a park pitch back in front of one man and his dog like they were before they decided to kill two clubs by merging them into one classless outfit

We should be given the full terrace. 1100 at least gives people a fighting chance of attending.

Exactly

Another masterclass in sh..housery.

I bet it was some high flying coach who originaly dreamt up this marvellous scheme. 'F..k football as long as we win' Whose bothered about the punters

Wow Clare- you really hate football coaches!
I’m pretty sure a football coach will have had nothing whatsoever to do with - ticket allocation/ amount of meat in your burger/ paper in the bogs etc

Your better scenario could be happening if anyone's interested google 'solihull moors ground sale' and post article from 'Birmingham Live' (struggling with new phone with more than facilities than 'Press Button A & B')

I’d suggest they knew exactly what they were doing.

After all, it’s a four day turnaround max. to sort tickets for away fans and if they’ve got the shutters down on the first day, it’s one less day to sort out the mess they’re creating with us and possibly the NL and will be harder to alter the current situation of sh@fting us.

Not at all just the incapable ones who resort to sh..house tactics bringing the game into disrepute and eventually ruining it, as you well know.

They had to open most of it up when we went in the League.whats the problem, Town fans aren't out for trouble.
