I said that to the lady in the ticket office...you bloody hedge funds, I said. She just looked at me a bit funny.

Is it any wonder that 90% of hedge funds fold or go bankrupt? They obviously don't have the fogiest idea of how a business should operate:facepalm:
It doesn't sound like the problem is the Club it seems it has more to do with Policing..

To an extent. Perhaps we should send https://twitter.com/WMPCovFc a friendly tweet.
However, we are being lied to here. We have already sold up to block 12 in SS, and at least 2000 will be given the away fans, so those few thousand in that stand that potentially could be sold to city fans do not account for all the unsold seats the club are telling us about - even if you factor in corporate and those reserved for ST holders. We know nobody has bought a ticket in the centre blocks of the NS, because the club haven't opened it, and it never appeared for online sales. They are telling people they have though, and that is naughty.
If the police are so keen on massive gaps of seats between the fans then I suggest they buy them and leave them empty take the money from their pension fund there will be plenty in there.
I haven't seen the Club say that, but let's also bear in mind that the Club have 4,000 Season Tickets that they have reserved for previous Season Ticket holders, let's hope that they get the remaining tickets on sale ASAP.

There have been a number of tweets overnight from the club responding to queries saying that the NS is sold out (and if it isn't, why is it not on sale). The numbers don't stack up. I've seen a 28K+ crowd at the Ricoh (Middlesbrough) when there were only 2K total in the SS.
We'll see, and perhaps any minute someone will pipe up and say they have 8 tickets in block 30.
I have a huge amount of sympathy for the people on the front line at the TO who have obviously worked their nads off over the last few days, but at a management level, somebody isn't handling this very well.
Question - How much of the 32,000 capacity can be sold, taking into account rewarding/policing/segregration? If we know this figure, which the club should know we can take a guess on the remaining tickets.
I had to move from block 29, moved PSL and 3x ST to block 11 in Sth Stand, got tickets this morning but when I opened the envelope it contain only Gilly tcks. Via twitter been told ST booklets had ran out but will be posted soon.
BUT have also been told via twitter that I will be contacted on Monday to discuss my PSL & ST ?? Has anybody else got ST in blocks are 10 or 11? Have you got your ST or just Gilly tcks? Is St Stand blocks 10/11 going to be open?
So the greedy hedge fund are holding back tickets damn them !!!
Everybody needs to calm down common sense tells you that every seat that can be made available will be I can't stand them anymore than the next fan , but as the old adage goes they are hardly going to cut off there nose to spite their face lets remember
Money is king
Definition of sold out in a football ground: All available tickets for sale being purchased.
We as fans have done our duty, any empty seats (and the embarrassment that causes) will be down to the piss poor management of the club.
They don't deserve more than 10k fans up there.
Yes, they wouldn't bite their nose off to spite their face would they?!So the greedy hedge fund are holding back tickets damn them !!!

Well they did for the last 13 months
Ok point taken
But even more because of the last 13 months they are going to be on a mission to make hay and recoup as much money on the back of the fans
All I'm saying is let's bit let our hatred of the dreaded hedge fund cloud the facts there is no reason for them to not want to fill every available seat the demand in the timescale must be a logistical nightmare
A few seats have become available in block 17 it appears. Not many. Be quick.
Gone. 50 seats went in about 2 mins!
Yes, they wouldn't bite their nose off to spite their face would they?!
Cough...northampton...
Ok I'm wrong I can now imagine the phone call
Hi tim it's joy
Good morning ma lady
Don't sell all the seats hold loads back that will teach. The cretins
Yes ma lady

It shouldn't be a logistical nightmare once the computer system was up and running.
As I understand it the club put together a match plan before each game. There is absolutely no reason at all that they cannot just follow the same procedures and policies as the Crewe game.
I understand the queues and the busy website, and the overworked staff, I get all that. What I don't get is why half the ground is being left empty.

I don't think that anyone is suggesting that they are deliberately restricting sales.
The question is - even allowing for the timescales - whether they have managed the release of tickets as well as could reasonably have been expected.
Presumably you think that they have, some of the rest of us are not too sure.
They don't deserve more than 10k fans up there.
Like they have done already?Can't see why they just don't open up the telegraph on Monday for cash / card purchases just for this match? Two lines in the ticket office- one for that, the other for those ST holders who want to renew in the 4,000 seats still left?
Was hoping to get an answer from the CI:
Darren Kirby @darrenckirby 11h
@kerryblakeman @RicohArena Are there any issues from a policing point of view releasing more tickets?
C I Kerry Blakeman @kerryblakeman 1h
@darrenckirby @RicohArena keep an eye on the club website for all the latest updates about tickets.
Darren Kirby @darrenckirby 34m
@kerryblakeman @RicohArena Ah OK as the club were suggesting it was a policing issue I was hoping for your take on it. Looking forward to it
