“Show a little class mate” ho ho ho

Ah I remember Julia 😬

Trouble is if they charge £3 for postage and then do not post anything then that’s potentially damaging if someone takes them up on it. If I pay £3 for postage and nothing is posted then I should be due a refund of that £3. They can ask for £3 as a donation if they wish and I can donate if I wish. But that’s not what is going on.

Know what you mean, Trig. Every time we do a journey by train we vow to drive next time and vice versa.

Tell him to do one!

6MDM – you don’t half moan a lot. Is there anything that you think the Club do right?? Of course, it must cost £3 to post out a ticket (admin time, envelope and stamp), but even if the club was “skimming” a little bit, then that boosts our revenue and would be a good thing. You complained that the Club had deliberately decided not to publicise the late kick off for the Bradford game on the basis that they wanted us to spend more – which was somewhat conspiratorial but frankly would have been an excellent business decision; you checked that the over 66 concession would still be available to you for your Centre Block season ticket when you reached that age – they confirmed yes – but frankly why ask? and you openly admit that you spend nothing within the ground. I often wonder why you support the Club when you deny them any sense of financial hope.

The greatest trick Craig Cope ever pulled was convincing our strikers that Layton Stewart existed”

There used to be 2 options (box office collection or post). I always opted for box office collection. Then I'd either pop over one lunch time when I was in the general area or at the next home game. It all worked well. There's no need to tamper with the ticketing system to accommodate what used to be there. Now they have unilaterally removed this option and are trying to blame the host club, which is unfair and untrue. If there are really uncollected tickets that end up getting sent back to the host club, so be it. If it means supporters who opted to collect from Plough Lane then didn't, then tough luck on them. They had the option to have them posted out. The club want people to travel to away games but are making it more inconvenient to do so for no justification other than laziness or profiteering.

Can’t remember the last time I had an away trip without some sort of train disruption as well. The last few caused by “passenger behaviour” delaying connecting trains and the time I got that bloke nicked for assaulting a female member of train staff. I would blame the parents but this guy was older than me.

Also, I have about £12 credit on my ticket account but there's no way of using it for the Stockport ticket. Maybe you can only use these credits for home games (not much use for STHs unless you buy cup games or merchandise)

6M€M, I agree. Wonder if tickets will be available on the day @ Stockport if you're anti £3 surcharge

I've had mixed results recently 6mdm but you're right if the club hasn't posted the ticket out (and therefore I have to collect it at the ticket office at the away ground) then charging £3 for doing so is probably breaking a rule and so someone should be looking at that closely. I wouldn't mind if there was an extra tick box 1- collect at PL. 2 - post ticket at £3. 3 - collect at away ground for £0. That would be fairer as I understand the team drop off some tickets at the away ground for every game regardless.

The ticket office are being a real pain in the arse over posting out tickets now. The decision not to send tickets out is theirs and has nothing to do with the host club. The excuse that a lot of tickets remain uncollected is a smokescreen. If a supporter opts for collection and does not do so, that is their problem. It is not a justification to remove this option for everyone else. They did it for Stevenage tickets when there were TWO home games after purchasing the tickets to do so. There are TWO more home games before Stockport too (Orient and Peterborough). In 2022/2023 Stockport issued e tickets so why is that option not available now? Anyway, I can't see how it takes any more time to put a ticket in that box they use for people to pop in and collect compared to posting them. Also, if they get lost in the post they have to waste time sorting it out with the unhappy supporter, as well as causing this supporter unnecessary stress. Processing season tickets is no justification as it is not as if they will be doing that much processing as they will not be issued for another 5 months. Poor. It feels to me that is does not cost the club £3 to post out tickets so it is an opportunity to skim a bit more money from supporters.

Beating Blackburn away was probably the biggest team we have beaten away from home. Former PL champions.

I already get those Spit so I won't publicise it ;)

Surely Oxford should be in that Championship list as well.

Timmy gets a free waitrose voucher and a copy of the Guardian twigs;-)

Do they pet you when you do that Timmy?

Dun, the game at Griffin Park was in the EFL trophy. iirc it ended 5-3 to Brentford

We also played Brentford in a league cup game at KM losing 3-1 possibly after extra time

Red Kite-our staff may be busy doing season tickets

Kwesi Appiah scored in a 1-0 win at Blackburn.

Answering my own question, it seems Blackburn were in League One in 2017-18, when we were too.

Nick D: we've been in the same league as Blackburn, as AFCW? I have no memory of that, i must confess. To an earlier post, I think our only AFCW game against Brentford was a cup game (LSC, from memory, at Griffin Park).

Stockport (away) tickets are postage only (£3) like Satanage. Bizarre message in our ticket section of the OS claiming collections are not available at the request of the away club
