Because Higgs decided to sue sisu to get the £30k they allege sisu promised to pay them. It's a counter sue probably just to get Higgs to drop their claim.

There is no value in being nopm for this game, it's Arsenal, the tickets were going to sell whatever, so not going doesn't hurt sisu just yourself. Pretty much every Arsenal game is a sellout, the smallest crowd they have ever had at the Emirates was 94% full.

Is is disapointing that some brought memberships to help with getting tickets. but that is there choice.

You and I may say its spite, but a business will say its strategic. Anyway, I really can't be arsed to have the same debate every day, so I'm ducking out, but in short I do not believe that the club turned down the addition tickets out of spite.

Ah of course and if they weren't likely to sell out the only seats would were those who attended Sixfields.

Yes of course - we believe you.

Why should he? It's just to easy to blame the owners for this and everything else..

Anyone who says the Club have done this out of spite are just looking to blame the owners for everything.

From the fans point of view it appears as bad management.
From a business point of view it maximised profits with no risk.

Fans or profits in this one off game ? Which is right ?

ecky · Jan 18, 2014

+8 but but buying your away tickets from the away club counts for nothing......

This is the point, the fans are going to say it's bad, while the owners are going to say it's good.. However I will admit if the owners actually cared what the fans wanted they of done so for the sake of a few quid..

I'd probably have gone. Bad planning by the club really. They should have seen it as an opportunity to win some stay away fans over.

I would not go to Sixfelds even if they gave me an Arsenal ticket.
Get us back to the Ricoh and I might forgive them in time.

Exactly. It was very bad planning and they (I imagine the ticket office management not JS from her underground lair) made an error of judgement they will now be slated for. It was a mistake, and any suggestions that it was spite or an attempt to limit the numbers of potential 'protestors' is just hysterical nonsense with a cherry on top. Some people have lost all sense of reason.

Absolutely. But, what do you expect other than mass hysteria on here. At least it gives a few of us a good chuckle.

AJB1983 · Jan 18, 2014

I chose not to go, couple of reasons being money, I went last year and it's on tv.
I don't go sixfields, only game I've been to this season is Walsall away, but I was a season ticket holder for years until this season.
Therefore I have no problem with tickets going on priority sale first, or 'rewarding' fans who've been to other games this season with priority, but the decision not to say yes to the extra allocation when tickets were only on sale to the 800-odd ST holders was short-sighted at best....the club must have known the demand following last seasons arsenal game, plus the away games this year?
Terrible decision.

Wouldn't have gone anyway.

Those going will have to brace themselves for the huge patronising pat on the back from Wenger and the gunners faithful afterwards.

Not for me.

lamtara2006 · Jan 18, 2014

I had a wasted Saturday morning trying by website (ticketing operations not working), phone (nobody answering) then driving 20+ miles from West Warwickshire to the ticket office and queuing for over an hour to then be told along with many others that all the Arsenal tickets were sold. As there were at least 50 people still ahead of me, you'd think they would have told most of us that we were wasting our time. Its particularly galling when you know that CCFC sent back 3,000 tickets earlier this week.

While some City supporters have taken a strong NOPM line (which I totally respect), some can’t take time off work on Friday (which has my sympathy), there are hoards of fans who have been denied this opportunity to watch CCFC by an inept and short-sided ticket allocation policy for this game, which I find intensely disappointing. I will still be travelling to the Emirates to help kcic organise the WHY / WHEN displays on 35 / 61 minutes but I am gutted that I won’t be in the ground to participate.

At least Frank Moussa has brightened my day at the finish - the guy doesn’t do ordinary goals!

I hope those Sky Blues Fans who are attending the Emirates have a great night, make loads of noise and give a great show with the WHY / WHEN sheets.

Brighton Sky Blue · Jan 18, 2014

The decision to stagger the ticketing to ST holders first when Arsenal had a deadline for selling a certain amount was always going to result in us handing back tickets. It requires virtually no intuition on the part of the club to work out that if you need to sell 5,000 tickets quickly, you don't restrict the sales to barely a quarter of that number-you open it up to everybody who wants to go knowing you can request more.

Hopeless.

letsallsingtogether · Jan 18, 2014

I would have gone but I am working :thinking about:

Oh yer I have booked a days holiday and have a ticket shame really the people like me sisu didn't want to go have tickets all 15 of us.

See any other like minded supporters outside the FA/FL offices before hand.....

Given Sisu far more money than I have, and I'm not even NOPM.

I am pretty sure Tim Fisher wanted people like you to go, so he could rub his hands together with his smug grin taking your money giggling about how lots of people vowed not to give SISU any money

letsallsingtogether · Jan 18, 2014

Doubt it he doesn't care who's money he gets..

No they're masters of finance and law but couldn't possibly grasp this concept.

If you think anything else you're hysterical apparently.

I wasn't planning to go on principle but still felt at that point that it makes no difference towards nopm, I still will never pay to go to a game where SISU get the money weather or not its going to be a sell out anyway even if we come back to Coventry, the ship has well and truly sailed with me, I will never do anything that benefits them again, they are scum and villains.

However I am going to the Arsenal game since I was invited by an Arsenal Fan who has tickets in a very nice area with food by Raymond Blanc/champagne etc, I would have taken up the offer to see a game at the Emirates with food/wine etc even if they wern't playing Coventry, should be a great night and I'm excited about it, but I'm not giving any money to sisu so I'm not and don't need to make excuses.

I don't feel those fans that are paying but who believe in nopm are doing anything wrong though as it was going to be a sellout whatever. But anyway trying to starve out sisu shouldn't mean you should cut off your nose to spite your face. You shouldn't harm yourself greatly to harm sisu a tiny bit. So While I completely belive in giving sisu no more money I don't think that means our fans should do themselves out of the few highlights of the season and that would probably even include going to sixfields and certainly wembley if we reached the play offs (though I see no chance of it really), just have to do the best to ignore snide marks from people like you.

No, I think it's because they believe (rightly or more probably wrongly) that they have been stitched up. None of us know whether what sisu alleged happened or not.

As you say most probably wrongly. And as you also know all the litigation is about getting the Ricoh than any wrongdoing by others.

I can't understand how you can always try and put doubt into everything that SISUE do wrong. We all know that it is the SISUE way.......even from before they took over our club. We also know that Joy was found to be bullshitting the last time she was in front of a judge. We all know that they keep bullshitting us fans. But hey they could be right about all this legal action. If they would have thought they could have sued Higgs from what had happened in 2012 they would have done it by now and not wait for a council statement or us fans finding out that they hadn't been in talks with two councils about this supposed ground they are building.

Steve.B50 · Jan 19, 2014

Although I do not agree with the extra tickets being refused it was probably a corporate decision as the would have had to pay full adult price for all these in advance. However, it would have been good pr to have done so and even if they never sold every ticket they will be making a lot more money for getting this game which will never have been budgeted for.
45% of gate
BT Sports money
Pledgers soon in FA Cup money

You need to have a word with the sky blue trust who went to the press complaining about the switch to Friday and said that we would only take about 5000 for a Friday night game.
