Only 1 hour from St Pancras and the grounds 15 minute walk max

One hour from St Pancras? Fucking hell, Manchester is only two hours (and a bit) from Euston. An hour from St Pancras could be best part of a hundred miles.

Fuck me ill be glad when this match is done with.

 

With this and Bradford we've seen the biggest game of who's the bigger club / attendance / away following wankathon tennis that twitter has ever seen.

 

Who gives a fuck.

 

 

Precisely. What competition for crowds do they have around them? Rotherham, Barnsley and Wednesday. Like choosing between syphilis, haemorrhoids and gout.

I'm thinking people in Sheffield are not the best planners of football matches in the world

Lets give promotion chasing Bolton Wanderers less tickets than Scunthorpe United?

Scunthorpe United who aren't promotion chasing? Mindblowing.

Scunthorpe's last home league attendance was 3,168

 

They give more tickets to that than a  promotion chasing Bolton Wanderers?

 

Someone should show them a video of Rotherham 90/91 of what Bolton take to South Yorkshire when chasing promotion from Div 3

Tbh I'd say it's the other way round

 

"Are you going to sell all the lower tier?"

"No"

"Ok then we will have those tickets back"

 

How many did scunthorpe sell?

I think that's exactly what has happened, but BWFC hadn't been warned it might happen.

Just under 3,000 Scunthorpe were at Sheffield apparantly

 

Yes, they had the top tier and then got another 1,000 downstairs.

 

Which then shows the lower tier can be segregated. There might well be a chance of some late tickets then or POTD

I doubt it was segregated for that game, don't think they ever do that with the lower tier there (it's just one open area downstairs if memory serves)

 

more likely they realised they had the demand to sell more lower tier than scunthorpe did so after that game decided if we weren't going to pay for all the tickets they'd have them back - I reckon, as you say, it was probably as much a surprise to our ticket office as it was to us fans

be nice, in the new open era, if ken told us the story

I don't really believe what the players/management say about taking 1 game at a time. We've all been waiting for this game for weeks - both sets of players/fans etc.

 

It's a bit churlish the way they have done it but 2200 for a division 3 team is still a reasonable amount of tickets. A shame really, I don't think we'd have taken full allocation but could easily have seen 3500+ going over

Can you not buy one ticket for an upcoming match, get a PH and then buy some tickets for Saturday?

 

Or do they do a ticket gift voucher at the club shop like they do at Fleetwood :)

Yes, that's exaclty how it works; how many did they take to Rotherham 26 years ago! Mindblowing.

Was that the Tony Cunningham 2-2 one??

 

Think that's one my earliest Bolton memories. Remember

Being plonked on a big yellow gate in the corner. Bolton fans to the left behind the goal and all round the corner.

Yes, I went on the train at the last minute and we got legged from the station by Sheff Utd fans. All I can remember is the bog (singular) being smaller than our shed and when you came out it was pwoper naughty in the alley.

one of LA's mates on twitter should start the ball rolling by asking him what the crack was

Didn't sheff united make a return visit when they played Blackburn or summet a few weeks later and smashed up the Albion?
