I'm pleased they have but I'm not sure I understand the logic in not utilising the full away capacity. Their choice I know, but for a game with no jeopardy for them it seems pointless.

Correct
Can't someone in a relevant position ask them why,DT for example or the Accy equivalent of the DT. There should be some click bait in a story as to why.
It just seems ridiculous and crazy.

Is it partly why their chairman put out the statement earlier, has the council/sag reduced their capacity along with other things he's mentioned?

I think Bradford caused damaged to the ground the other week so they either don’t want to / can’t give more out.

I'd be disappointed if that was true. Why would they do that at Accrington, by all accounts (never been) one of the most friendly and welcoming places for away fans in the football league?

The old lad who greeted us last year at the pre season friendly wasn't friendly at all and the 2 women in the away ticket Boothe were very arrogant aswell. Bradford probably got the same greeting!! Although the girl in the club shop said the old fella was a nuisance with everybody so he may have been moved on now , we will find out on Saturday.

On my previous visits the 'friendly and welcoming' faction must have been on holiday,and the couple of pubs we honoured with our presence were not overly friendly,last time we just went straight to the ground,found the best thing about a trip there is a comfortable car with a good working heater and the road back.

Fair enough 🤣

Was told from a very reliable source (no name ,no pack drill) that CFC and our police rep have been in negotiations with accy and accy have given us another 300 tickets. Good on 'em I say, the negotiators that is.

Still a useless allocation but it’s more than we give I suppose

At least Notts will be forced to give us 10% in the play offs 😀

Looks extremely unlikely Notts will get 4th, they’d have to win at Donny, and Walsall draw or lose at home to Fleetwood (now that is possible with their form).

How many do we get away at Walsall which looks the likeliest scenario IF we sneaked in?

It's an Notts so a reasonable chance. Walsall are away at Crewe but would struggle against their U18s on present form.

Without wanting to sound pedantic, Notts aren’t at Donny it’s at Notts and it’s Bradford that need to lose at home to Fleetwood, not Walsall.

If Bradford were to lose at home to Fleetwood and Walsall drop points, Notts could go up automatic with a win.

Yes I read that wrong, it’s Bradford at home to Fleetwood

Yep, I’ve had another mare, was trying to glance at my phone whilst in a queue of traffic 😂

Anything but automatic for Notts please

Good luck, lovely Spireites. May the ticketing force be with you 🙏🥰 xx

I'd be logging on from about 9.50 and refreshing very 30 seconds, if there is only 250/300 then they'll be gone before 10am!
