FGR are gonna try and use any advantage they can and they’re not silly. They will know how well we travel and how much of an influence our fans have on us. It’s luck of the draw really, we’d do the same if we were the home side to do whatever we could to gain an edge and make it uncomfortable

Absolutely. Sadly the difference is 15% of our capacity would more than cover their demand. That’s the league we’re in I’m afraid!

A lot of us will be disappointed not being able to get a ticket for such an massive important game and will hopefully watch in another way.I don't blame the club for making this tiny allocation as fair as possible.I believe FGR could have given us more.When I visited earlier in the season I saw loads of empty seats and spaces on there terraces so will see what there attendance is I will be amazed if they sell out there end

Our home support at the New Lawn this season has been rather disappointing to say the least with the seated areas at each far end mostly empty. From checking the seating plan on the site since last week when the home tickets went on sale for season ticket holders and then when they opened those seats up to everyone else it would seem to be a sellout across the seated home stand. This just fills me with annoyance as where the hell have been all these fairweather fans all season!

The ticket allocation is disappointing, that's true.
But bearing in mind the limited resources at the New Lawn; I'm not sure how much more they could do other than offer the full 15%, which doesn't seem to be the case?
As regards, UN award winner Dale Vince, or rather FGR, we've been here before, and he's no Ron.

FYI, Rochdale had 5,560 on Thursday: the average touches 2,000. Admittedly, there were 1,200 of us, but that gate was around 250 shy of their best of the season against Oldham down the road.
The big game certainly brings them out, eh?

The stand we are in can hold over 1,000 fans, they have chosen to make it 726 because that's the minimum they can get away with giving us. There's an awful lot more they could do.

Away section supposedly holds 1200 in theory. But they want a buffer at the end closest to the 'noisy boys' stand so that's a chunk of seated area lost. And I imagine the same at the other end of the away terrace next to the 'family standing' wing which will be full of fairweather fans full of cider. I worry in general about the stewarding of this as FGR seem to employ alot of people who are good for pointing you to your seat and wouod crumble if someone shouts "Boo!" At them so again they are limiting your fan numbers probably trying to take that into account.
 
Americans do tailgate parties all the time where they drive to the stadium, take a portable barbecue and some beers, and watch the pre-game build-up in the car park. Sometimes people even stay in the car park while the game is ongoing and watch the game on a portable TV, especially if they can’t get tickets. Some even do it out of preference.

What’s to stop those of us who don’t get tickets travelling to the vicinity, and having our own party there? Cheaper food, cheaper drinks and we’d probably still even be able to join in with the chanting and cheer the boys on?

Sadly no parking at the stadium really. And the streets nearby will be packed. If you are driving I would try and get there over an hour before kickoff and park on one of the residential roads near the stadium rather than at bottom of the hill as its a trek
