I cant imagine there was a buy x amount up front for it as originally pay on the day was going to be available so in theory we could of sold 1800 and had 2-300 turn up on the day paying on the turnstile.

You can’t pay on the turnstile at Notts, would be going to the ticket office even if paying on the day, so that would’ve been limited to the rest of the initial 1,900.

Surely they wouldn't sell just the 100 in that case and leave 200 annoyed Vale fans stuck outside?

Sounds like you need rely on a dodgy stick for the day pal…

Of course i wouldn’t ever have done that myself of course

Bradford didn’t get the full allocation. You lot, Bradford and Wrexham all got the 2,950 odd, which is what we see as our maximum and is the number we appear to have landed on as ‘giving any more than that loses us all home advantage and is a number that’s more than fair’. We wanted to do the same with Mansfield but were overruled by the police and had to give them the absolute max the stand can safely hold - 3,700 or whatever it was.

I’m pretty sure Vale could have the extra 1,000 if they were confident of selling them, but what we won’t do is just give a couple of hundred more for the reasons mentioned. Exactly the same thing happened with Stockport last season.

Ah okay, apologies in that case, I thought Bradford had the same as Mansfield. Weird that the police overruled you to increase the allocation, that's hardly ever the case.

That tumbleweed gif stinks of 'bastard got there first' type jealousy!

Absolutely, you did me the other week too on the Wimbledon pitch thread I clicked on it ready to put up a post about them borrowing MK Dons pitch and you’d already beat me to it by a few hours.

I know how you feel. Joethegill does all of my posts now (especially the good ones)

Risk of their fans going in the home ends I guess that’s much greater with that game than any other one.

We thought it was odd at the time - there’s absolutely nothing between Mansfield and County either, plus it was on sky.

I believe Notts have a different SAG to both Forest and Mansfield, but i can certainly relate to how odd/hopeless Notts police are

Apologies fella. I'm busy the rest of the week and this weekend, so it's all yours now for a while.

Obviously don’t agree with Notts’ approach (although we’re usually sensible over spiteful so Jacob’s explanation makes complete sense) but just being able to get 1,900 at a close League 2 ground should be counted as a bit of a blessing?

You’re welcome. Enjoy your day at indisputably the best venue League 2 has ever seen.

We don't play Bromley until December.

But why worry about that when you have an ultra-ready steward hit squad to remove away fans from home stands - 5 stewards surrounded me, wife, daughter and a friends son within seconds of the 96 minute equaliser in the play off game. They removed us from the family stand to the protest of some Notts fans who decided we weren’t the typical coke snorting hoolies that the Sunday Times branded us as.

Thankfully your stewards failed to spot the open away end gate and we were able to see ET and the winner.

Then my well brought up daughter powdered her nose after the winner and gave the finger to the stewards on the way out…

The thing is your saying you won't open the rest of the stand for something like 500 extra supporters yet you have to open the stand up the 1900 part of it every season for 100 Accrington, Harrogate, Sutton, Morecambe, Salford fans. So based on what your saying it's not worth opening any part of the away end at all when Salford ect go to meadow lane.

You've got to let the lucky few in from every club.
