Stoke City

[SamL]

THEY EMAILED YOU BACK!

They must hate me then.

Anyway, if anyone wants to sell there tickets. Im here.

I've sent an email regarding Season Ticket relocation for Saturday's game but haven't recieved an email back.

They must only be replying to the most important emails. There's probably only about 2 of them working, bless.

[Tommeh]

Been ringing all bastard morning, got an answer of "not sure about 2nd allocation" at half 10.

Drove down ticket office at 1 and asked they still wern't sure, I asked to be put on a list or pre order but they wouldnt have it.

I despair I really do.

Total discrace from Their club, our club and most of all the police.

[dexter97]

We wont get anymore than 1600. Because of the twatty segregation.

Ridiculous, one block i may give them that but for a game in which means could mean so much for both teams why not try and maximise your profits Stoke. You thick selfish tossers, i thought maybe you had changed since the play off in 96. Obviously not.

I'm not sure how the allocation, disappointing as it might be, can be attributed to SCFC being "thick" or "selfish". Surely decisions on segregation are led by the police, not the club, who will doubtless be keen to sell every seat that they can.

The club could juse say **** 'em, you have no sense behind your argument. But we all know that no stadium manager/club has the balls to do that.

I think your shite club are being selfish, as was mentioned earlier in this thread you average attendence has been like 16000 at home. And you now sell out I can garuntee if we were in the same league position as you, Stoke City would still get the same allocation of tickets as all the other Championship teams.

I think most clubs would be the same as Stoke in this position to be honest, shit as it is. When you're on the verge of going up like they are they're only going to want to see home fans in the stands aren't they?

But it's bollocks I'll admit.

[Tevez]

fook off Stoke.

[Simi]

Some people should get there Man United on and jib the turnstiles.

But look at Leicester on Saturday, this is one of biggest home games since god knows and we havent cut Sheff Wed's allocation down to get more Leicester fans in.

[Leicester Lass]

But to be fair, Sheff Weds sell out nearly everywhere they go.

How many times have we taken 1600 to away games this year?

Okay not thick. Im just pissed off i havent got a ticket its not just stoke their 3 or 4 things making me mad about not getting a ticket.

If i emailed them with the topic 'I want to renew my season ticket' i reckon that would have drawn their eyes to it. Even if they emailed me back and said sorry we have no tickets left. But their hasn't been a response.

No matter what position we were in we'd still give 3,200 to the away fans. Unless they hadn't sold them all and there were a few days left before the game.

Stoke would have got away with doing this against shite supported clubs with nothing to play for like QPR, Charlton, S****horpe, etc.

But not us, altohugh it appears they will get away with it absolute joke.

[Simi]

That was my thinking at the start of the topic.

We've not sold out allocations until the end of the season, apart from cup games. So based on our averages, 1600 would seem fair for a normal game.

[Uncle Albert]

But to be fair, Sheff Weds sell out nearly everywhere they go.

How many times have we taken 1600 to away games this year?

But these are very important games for the club, look at Barnsley, Sheff Utd and Cov look how many we took. And we could be going into the Stoke game fighting to stay in the league and we can only take 2000.

[Joe.]

It's just the fact that this game isn't normal considering what's at stake for both teams and it's the last game of the season.

Surely though you'd have thought we could have pushed for the intial allocation that we're supposed to be entitled to in the first place? It's pretty shit really.

We cut barnsleys allocation a couple of years back when they protested...

Can see why stoke have done it though. We'd get all the glory hunters down if we were in their position. They don't have to give more than 2000, and by the looks of it the local council/police force is restricting us to 1600 (big difference ). We could have given 5000 to sheffweds if we'd wanted as well....but didn't!

You can see the difference between those who have tickets & those who dont I know i'd be fuming like you mate if I didn't have one.

Which is our clubs fault. If they get the maximum allocation straight away none of this shit needs to be considered. But we faltered and they've let there part time home fans snap them up.

The away priorities are a joke as well. I wouldn't have got tickets If I didn't know so many ST holders and I've missed 2 away games all year!

If you get a priority card, you don't need a ST do you?

But it's an important game for Stoke as well. As people have said previously, they obviously want as many home fans in the ground as possible - and fair play to them.

If we as a club didn't ask for the full allocation of tickets to start with, then I'm afraid the blame lies firmly with us, and is nothing to do with Stoke.

The way I see it, they're just capitalising on the hesitation of our ticket office.

And you now sell out I can garuntee if we were in the same league position as you, Stoke City would still get the same allocation of tickets as all the other Championship teams.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the only reason we would get the same allocation is that the number is fixed, being determined by the stadium design. It's nothing to do with LCFC being benevolent. If roles were reversed, and there was a way for you to maximise your home support at the expense of the away fans, I wouldn't bet against you doing it.

I can understand why you feel aggrieved, but look on the bright side: We might actually be doing many of you a favour, as it could be quite painful for you to watch!

[Floating Fox]

If you get a priority card, you don't need a ST do you?

Yeah...you need a Season ticket to get the priority card!

They should just register on their database how many games you've been to and judge your priority on that. Obviously STH deserve some benefits but i disagree with how its done atm...

thats the bottom line mate, in more ways than one

It's just the difference in numbers which gets me, 1600!!!!!! whereas wednesday do at least get 3,300 for our game DOUBLE what we get for stoke!

Barnsleys protest was about our fans getting cheaper tickets and their fans paying full price, completely different. Their allocation wasn't cut, they just only sold around 500 so in the end LCFC sold them to home fans.

When we were chasing promotion in 2003 we still let Brighton have the same amount of tickets as the other teams that year. 1600 tickets is a disgrace, and I thought there was a rule that you had to let the away fans have at least 10% of your capacity, so we should have been given at least 2800.

Complete joke.
