I know that, I wouldn't care if I was a ST holder about not being in my exact seat but you know for a fact there would be outrage about it about their seats being given to other people and how they don't get any respect etc etc.
why, its not a big deal if the season ticket holders don't get to sit in their seat for this game, the seats will still be protected for sale after this game. It's just foolish to wait till 930am tomorrow to release them, hell at the very least why not put them up for sale this evening and that makes life alot easier for the website.
They should have gotten the season tickets on sale quicker, then on saturday put gillingham tickets up for sale, once all the seats are sold then release the season tickets right away. They have created masses of extra work for themselves this way and made it almost impossible to renew a season ticket over the phone.
Because, I'm afraid, after having to wait for permission, ex-season ticket holders were priority to get sorted. Seems pretty sensible to me and good to see the club prioritising to those fans
So now they do try to give a shit it is wrong? I get it now
Can't win either way springs to mind.
I renewed my ST the first minute they went on sale. Don't quite understand why the ST holders have had so many days to sort themselves out.
No tbh I did think of that. They didn't give a shit last season and now they do. It's the club changing their minds not me.
Maybe the club created that "can't win either way" attitude with fans?
No they weren't. STs could've waited. Fair enough giving a period where they can buy, but not all the way up to the day of the game.
Shambles and asking for trouble doing online only with our IT systems.
Should've given ST holders a week to get theirs, giving longer spread people out as they thought they had time.
Our club desperately needs someone with a project management qualification.
Exactly, and a new IT system.

You looking for a job Nick? You already destroyed GMKs userbase with your stable website skills. Fancy taking on CCFC?
Haha, people getting angry over it! Calm down! They've had less than 2 weeks, have probably sold near on 26-27k tickets. For that to happen is a stirling effort in my opinion. Maybe they should've just sold the tickets for £25 and thought sod the demand?
sure but they would just have to suck it up just like all the season ticket holders being moved out of the north stand had too. They would have had enough time to renew and if they didn't deal with it quick enough then tough, they would have had plenty of time too as they would have been able to use online and the phones without them being screwed up by gillingham sales.

Or maybe some fans just love moaning and have done way before SISU were here?
As normal the truth lies somewhere in the middle most probably. I never really moan about owners although I do about the team playing shit mind you.
This ticket debacle could of been handled much better IMO as with most peoples view. I bet there are a loadsa of things now the club wishes it had of done with hindsight but 10 days isn't a lot of time to prepare.
One serious trick they missed IMO is to combine this game with a shitty yeovil game. If you bought a ticket to gillingham when a sell out was always likely then force tickets for a yeovil game when it's back to full price. You would of had two bak to back sell ours in the club history at the Ricoh for the first time. Silly really

I can't be bothered to argue. People are throwing their toys out because they haven't got a ticket.
Good job you can't be bothered because you'd lose.
I've got a ticket.

Really annoys me when fans don't have a clue. They will be interviewed by sky and the radio before kick off and you will get comments that clearly show they haven't got a clue and suffered the same pain as the rest of us.
Cringeworthy
Seriously?
I heard them talking about on Free Radio, there was a woman on there and it was cringeworthy because she clearly knew nothing about football or the situation but was trying to act like she did!

Not really. If I sent my missus to queue for a ticket because I was at work, and somebody shoved a mic in her face, she'd come out with all sorts of crap too. It's a working day, most people in that queue are probably doing favours for other people.
Off Cov twitterA bloke has been there since 11pm last night apparantly , fair play lol
I think you'd have decimated the attendance with that plan, the group of 4 would have to spend £128 instead of £40.
I don't really agree they didn't have time to prepare when was it in the sun that we were going to be back on the 5th? it was at least 3 weeks from then to the game, they should absolutely be informing their ticket staff at this point, could you buy a cheap season ticket at sixfields after it had been in the sun that we were returning? many of us still didn't believe we were coming back at that time but I'm sure some people would have taken the gamble.
He got given one by another fan.
People will still go down!
