It's good that Halifax took the time to return the unsold one's to us.

Fair play to Halifax selling 550-560 tickets btw. Given some of the stick they took they judged it quite well -and good on them for returning them in time to re-sell.

probs best not asking about what it means for segregation...don't ask a question you don't want to know the answer to!

I thought id read theyd sold around 400. If this batch was from them they did bloody well to get them back in that time considering they were selling them until 4pm yesterday.

Considering that they are only a couple of hours drive away it's an excellent gesture from them, allowing us to put the sold out signs up.

Halifax sold 309 tickets according to a post on the Darlo facebook page

Maybe the 40/50 tickets are extra home tickets, rather than unsold away ones. We did only print 3,000 including 600 away, but the capacity (albeit unsegregated) is 3,299, so those tickets may have come from the excess.

As for Halifax, 309 if true just backs up my memories of their away followings.

How stupid does their official website look now?

You're just gagging for them to have sold nearly all of their tickets, so you can go on about how well they've done, aren't you?

They were never, ever going to get near selling the 600. Their website announcement claiming that 600 wasnt enough tickets, but they'd just have to make do with such a miniscule number, was a joke.

Honestly thought they would sell 600.Been to some Darlo away games in the days of FL and there have been much lower numbers than some of todays followings.

Had they been doing a fylde they may well have got somewhere near to selling 600. Fact is they have been playing shite and there have been calls to sack the manager so a lot of their fans cant be arsed to make the trip. It does make the whining sbout a woefully low allocation look ridiculous.

You just know they are going to play like Barca on Boxing Day

Halifax tickets not yet returned according to Richard on Twitter

Really hope we get these tickets back ASAP so we can truly make it a sell-out. I actually find it a little distasteful the way they moaned about "only" getting 600 tickets and have, by some accounts, fallen well short of selling that. It is hard to understate just how big a moment this is for us as a club and to have them have a pop at the club for the allocation we gave them (which clearly was more than generous) is not really on.

A chant of "600 tickets, you're having a laugh" wouldn't go amiss I think.

Looks like they may have signed Adam Morgan from Curzon Ashton who scored a hat-tick in the FA Cup game against Wimbledon.

250 returned tickets

Darlo_Pete · Post by **Darlo_Pete** » Fri Dec 23, 2016 9:28 pm

I reckon we'll take a lot more than 309 to Halifax on New Years Day.

Where's this from? Are they going to be put on sale for home fans?

Craig Stoddart, and apparently so (when they get returned).

350 is still a decent following considering no trains, an unappealing set of facilities, and the fact they aren't on the greatest run. It's just quite funny after their clubs ridiculous statement!

Not related but is there going to be a sign put up outside the ground with our name on it or the Vanarma sign that all clubs have.

I am really not that bothered - would prefer they sell a decent amount as reckon it will generate a better atmosphere. Clearly they judged it completely wrong if they only sold 309 hopefully we can shift the ones which have come back today.

My comment was more credit where credit is due...based on inaccurate information to start with!

There is one ready to go up but there are still discussions going on where to put it.

Can't wait for this game!!

Just a thought but the away end at BM has no covering and it's standing only (I'm led to believe) so I can understand why Halifax may have struggled to sell the allocation, add to that no onsite bar.

There isn't covered standing for Halifax fans and nor will they receive a bar service, but this hasn't changed, making their official websites claim of needing more than 600 tickets laughable.

Why would an on site bar make you not want to go to a game?

So how many tickets did we sell today. All?

LoidLucan · Post by **LoidLucan** » Sat Dec 24, 2016 6:04 pm

I've been to a lot of away games over the last few seasons and the decision over attending or not has never been based on whether there was a bar I could get into at the ground or whether my hair would get wet if it rained.

Yep, been to loads of away games over the years (more in our league 2/conference days) and can't say I ever looked into bar facilities or whether there was cover.

I don't actually remember ever looking at what the ground would look like even - just hope for an 'Away Fans' sign! Ultimately the away end at Feethams was open.

Towards the end at least, the west stand was usually for away fans.
