5118 sold for our Champions League game at Chelsea, they've sold out too!

Did you get all the tickets you were after?

 

[BlackHaddock]

Did you get all the tickets you were after?

Yes, I did. Wife, me, one brother and my son (both live in London), plus two Swedish friends who just happen to be in London over the game and one of son's mates who's been to town games in London before. So 7 in all, confirmed this morning with a shipping notice at 09:07.

Red wine on the train down, a few pints of Real Ale before the game and who knows what the result will be?

Excellent, should be a good atmosphere, have a great day...

Have they reduced the full allocation? We had over 6,000 there in 2014.

Could give more to you as the home fans weren't bothered about facing Bradford

Probably not but expect they would’ve wanted to see their Chelsea side, the best team in the country at the time by a mile and eventual Premier league champions, winning at a canter.

Hmm, it was a sell out.

Over 41,000 in attendance.

I reckon a few Chelsea players who played in that game will still be having nightmares about James Hanson. Here's hoping that he has as much effect on Wednesday's game as he had back then.

I really really don’t think they do

Could well be talking absolute bollox but I think the guaranteed allocations are different for each competition. Think League Cup is 10% of ground capacity and FA Cup is 15%.

Do Northampton fans after the playoff final?

 

[Deepcut Cobbler]

Do Northampton fans after the playoff final?

Every time...27 minutes 0-3
However I remember talking to some of your fans after the game who had sympathy having experienced similar a couple of months earlier.

 

[EricSabin]

What play off final?

 

[Deepcut Cobbler]

Don't bring it up with Eric, what are you doing?
He has been receiving treatment ever since and the therapist said that he was progressing well...

[Limerick Mariner]

69 Macc in Cleethorpes.

Just over a two hour trip on a Saturday. Are we back in the Conference? I think some of our fans must have already set off for Chelsea as well.

The atmosphere was really flat too and I think it rubbed off on the players first half, once we scored it improved of course but in the first half I heard some proper twatty stuff being shouted.

That’s not a bad following for macc, they do only have 400 fans

 

[dedwardp]

And it was about the 10th time they've had to visit Grimsby in the past month.

 

[MTFC_07]

Poor away following from us, but hardly a surprise given it’s our 3rd visit to Grimsby in less than a month and taking into account the off the pitch state of our club.

People looking at Macc from the outside must think we’ve been a good team to support for the last 5/6 years due to the on the pitch success from the Askey years, but we’ve been appallingly run as a football club for 10 to 15 years and it’s alienated a lot of people who just don’t attend regularly anymore, like myself. I’ve not been to more than 10-15 Macc games a season for over 5 years, compared to 10 years ago when I was going 40-50 a season - I, along with many others, just don’t have the enthusiasm anymore.

It’s hard to gauge since it was so long since we were not abjectly run, but I genuinely believe a well-run Macclesfield Town could be sustainable as a bottom half L2 side on crowds of 2500+, but being well run is currently a pipe dream and I’ll continue to attend infrequently in the meantime as our club continues on it’s slow death spiral.

 

[Conker]

The Mansfield following shows the current apathy - much larger following last season.

 

[F!RTHY]

Over a 1,000 pre-sold for Scunny - prob take 1600-1800...depends solely on their calculator.

Morecambe tickets selling like hotcakes for the game on’t 12th Oct.

Just give us the league now.

 

[PlymouthCasual]

Original 900 sold for the Arkells stand at Swindon. Uncovered stand behind the goal now available and general sale tickets are released on Friday. Hoping for over 2k for this one.
