National League South 2015/16

We've always been fairly generous with away crowds. We gave Luton 1,800 once and I think they only brought around 1,000. Had 1,300 or so the following season mind.

If we get through, we've earned the right to play at home. We shouldn't feel the need to give you anymore than the away end, no disrespect. Let's be honest, if the boot was on the other foot, we wouldn't be allocated more than 500...

Our home form is worse than away though so we could quite easily lose on Sunday!

Nice one - just need North Feriby to beat AFC Fylde in the north now...

The bitterness on the Hawks Ultra twitter is excellent to read

 

[Raymondo316]

Gonna be a right bitch trying to get a ticket for this. Can see a load of stones fan ending up in the home end.

 

[Aberstone]

Made me chuckle when our now ex-chairman tweeted asking how long it would take Whitehawk to blame the stewards. Tweets came through blaming the stewards 5 minutes later.

Edit: Given the shenanigans at our game in April, next season's fixture will definitely be on a Tuesday night.

 

[Raymondo316]

Allocated 780 tickets.

Looks like Stones fans will be going in the home end.

To be fair, that's more than Fleet are obliged to give you anyway.

 

[Raymondo316]

Oh well worst comes to worst i will be going in the Ebbsfleet end.....noway im missing this game.

I don't know the tweet about Ebbsfleet playing 'simply the best' on the PA for the benefit of any visiting Sutton fans was funny....

 

[Joe.]

I really fucking hate Whitehawk.

First time I've ever seen a penalty shoot out live. I'm surprised I made it through!

Friday, Saturday and Sunday off work. That's going to be some weekend if we win! Not surprised we've only given Maidstone the away end plus some seats. It's 180 more than we need to give them (600, not 400 as I thought). We shouldn't be forced to give them more.

 

[Joe.]

We're going the wrong way about this. Questioning people to make sure they're Fleet fans... no way should it be all ticket for home fans. It wasn't when we hosted Dover in the final.

Heading down to the ground now to get mine - if I'm allowed!!

 

[joethegill]

I was hoping to get a ticket for the home end but I have no way of making it down to the ground to pick one up!

 

[ForeverUnited]

Exact same happened for the Salisbury away leg we had. we were allocated 680 tickets for the away leg, which was more than the amount needed to give. people cued from 4am in the morning to get tickets. There were people going down to Salisbury to buy tickets and being questioned and turned away. In the end they let, fans in on the gate and ended up exceeding their own capacity.

 

[Joe.]

Picked mine up not so long ago with no problems as I knew the people in there so no questions needed!

Few Stones fans have already got tickets in the home end going by their forum. Over 700 sold so far.

If I'd have seen this earlier I would have picked you one up!

Nice thought mate, hopefully I can grab one later in the week.

I'll go in wearing my old Gravesend and Northfleet shirt I bought about 10 years ago if I can still get in it - I've got a bit bigger since then!

Should be fine mate. Think they only ask things like where do you stand/sit, and about players etc. Although I understand they want to keep the trouble away, it's a little OTT.

A woman was getting tickets for her husband who's been going 30 years as he couldn't get down there, but because she didn't know any answers, she didn't get a ticket!

 

[Silver Stone]

Ridiculous from Fleet honestly. Turn away casual fans for the sake of stopping a couple of hundred Stones getting in.

If they ask about players I'll be fine as half of them used to be Gills!

I can understand not wanting away fans in the home end, but it's ridiculous. Some Hungarian lads at work want to go. I'll have to tell them the answers!


You're not wrong Joe!

 

[Silver Stone]

I think the ground holds enough so that more or less everyone who wants to go, can do so. The restrictions are what I have an issue with since you'll be left with unsold tickets and people at home who'd rather be at the game.

 

[Raymondo316]

Found this post on our forum rather funny.

''That was horrible.Queued up for over an hour with all the Fleet fans pointing out faces who they didn't recognise,but for some strange reason the chap in front of me thought he knew me.Had a great chat,with all around pretty convinced I was a Fleet fan.Then it was my turn to enter the office.Then i was asked how many games I'd been to and a Quiz on Ebbsfleet past and present.Reg was there overseeing the Quiz and Infact it was his nod that that persuaded the Quizmaster to issue me with a ticket.I did struggle with the questions a bit,so thanks Mr Vardy for your help''

Ebbsfleet officials really are going over the top with this process

 

[Silver Stone]

Better watch out for the snatch squad!
