I'm lucky enough to get a ticket but this actually annoys me. The ground holds 39,000 - Wednesday should be allowed to sell 39,000 tickets and its the cops job to allocate resources based on how many tickets are sold / how many they think they need. We pay their wages after all - through taxes and the ticket price! Cedrick and thebooler 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cp9 753 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Feel for the lads that never bought a ticket when they had a chance cos they were waiting on buses. Utter shambles. Reckon it would have been a nice gesture from the club to give the guys that paid for the travel club and never made it to Luxembourg first shout as well. jintybear 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's NOT just South Yorkshire Police, Sheffield SAG, the councils Safety Advisory Group has a huge say what happens, they are not very popular at Hillsborough with Wednesday fans as they have quite a record of "spoiling" potentially good big games with decent crowds .... they \are the ones that insist on huge sterile banks of empty seating as segregation.... they once even insisted on empty seats as segregation when it was WEDNESDAY fans in the lower leppings lane stand (west) with Newcastle fans above...so they was effectively segregating Wednesday fans from Wednesday fans... bizarre at best! thebooler 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wearethepeople72 1,845 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Aw well looks like that's me fucked then. Held off because the bus I'm going on thought they'd get enough to cover everyone. Now the bus is loads short and there's none left to buy. The fact this has actually happened when we got given such a big allocation is an absolute joke. Something that should've been so easy turned into a complete disaster. I'll still travel without one but I'll be raging if I miss the game because of all this.

I imagine it is passed through to the customer in the ticket price? IMO police should not be able to have any say in what is allowed and what is not allowed. That is for the courts, parliaments and councils to set the law and then it be applied accordingly. I mean Wednesday has a stadium that is fit for 39,000 seats. They should be allowed to sell whatever they want up to that limit. Its then the police's job to analyse roughly how many are going, what the likelihood of trouble is and then plan accordingly. They are a public service after all, not the decision makers on who can and can't undertake a activity. thebooler 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or better yet, and I know this might sound radical but maybe give us the remaining part of the stand our support is going to be in..
