eddie Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Think that might be to do with the the %age of seats, as we have a bigger ground, we have a larger minimum we have to give them.The minimum only applies to cup matches. I don't beleve that there is an obligation to reserve a certain percentage for away fans in league games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal is a Ram Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 The minimum only applies to cup matches. I don't beleve that there is an obligation to reserve a certain percentage for away fans in league games.I found it in the old DET article from the 'outrage' when Forest announced they were setting the allocation at 2000:The rule in the Championship is that a club has to offer 10% or 2,000 whichever is the lesser. It is 10% or 3,000 in the Premier League. http://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/Fewer-Nottingham-Forest-tickets-spoil-rivalry/story-19751393-detail/story.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuespachRam Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 Yeah yeah I was just going to have a nice cup of tea and stare at a humongous picture of Super Jake Buxton all day long instead, then I remembered I will be in the Bon Accord pub in Glasgow watching it before nipping off to watch The Wedding Present at The School of Art Glasgow where I expect to see another picture of Super Jake Buxton there, coz he is a work of art. If not I'll stick it up myself!pass on my best regards to Mr Gedge for me.....the finest song writer this country has ever produced...in fact that this planet has ever produced. I was just singing away in the car actually..."i kept so many old things, I never quite stopped....hoping" genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philmycock Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 pass on my best regards to Mr Gedge for me.....the finest song writer this country has ever produced...in fact that this planet has ever produced. I was just singing away in the car actually..."i kept so many old things, I never quite stopped....hoping" genius. I went to school with a lad who was a regular pen pal/writer to and from Mr Gedge. Though when he went and approached him after a year or two exchanging letters, he was completely blanked by him.That's a very dull anecdote wasn't it?!Back on thread: Reckon I'd get 2 tickets if I hung around the turnstiles asking on the night??

jagerbob Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 If Forest didnt charge so much for the main stand, then maybe their fans wouldnt want tickets in the shared bridgeford end. If they want less away fans at the expense of a worse overall attendance then so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really nice bloke...and you have inspired me to listen to the this morning.. Thanks. And yes, there is always someone with spare tickets, always.

manxramselly Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 I'm a season ticket holder and an away member, been to every game bar Reading away this year - I like the system, it works absolutely fine, but one thing I would say is that non-ST holders shouldn't be able to purchase an away membership. That is rather unfair.If you've got enough money to go to all the away games and get a season ticket, surely you can save £50 during the summer for a membership?what's the point of me buying a season ticket?id love to go to every home game but it's impossible,financially mainly.As you said,the current system works fine apart from a couple of games a season where demand outstrips supply.

Day Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 The memberships are the club ticket touting the Forest game pretty much, roll up roll up who's got the most money, they are pretty much useless for the rest of the season.You could go to every away game in a season but not have a season ticket and it will cost you £39 for the home membership, then £49 for the away membership, you can't buy the away without a home if you're not a season ticket holder, now throw on top the £35 for the match ticket and you're looking at £123 a ticket.To be honest I think you're nuts if you have an away membership and not a ST holder, £88 just for a plastic card that gives you priority that only really comes in to play for 1 game. Madness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuespachRam Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 much cheaper and easier just to go and buy one of the many empty seats in the Brian Clough stand, done it on a number of occasions, never any trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Are well you're all right Jack if you have a customer number with purchase history.

Madness.Daveo,I don't have away membership for this one game,I have it because if I plan to go to an away game I book flights,train and hotels about three months in advance to get the cheapest deals.All of these are often non refundable if not used,so I'm taking a risk if sky decide to change the date for the TV,I have away membership to make sure I get a ticket after booking all of this and spending about £250,if I wasn't first in the queue I probably wouldn't risk booking everything in advance until I knew I had a ticket and then flights and hotels would probably be twice the price if available at all.
