Notts v Mansfaild tickets

[TheNottinghamMan]

Amazing all this & that about tickets. Mansfield complain they only get 4000 tickets when they give away fans less that 2000 tickets & still have empty seats in all home sections of the ground ,

you have a 1 off family day out each year to Nottingham , you will even have fans there asking each other which is Mansfield & which is Notts because they have never been to a game before

trying to give the we are a big team.. you are a small town with a small ground. with small crowds, Who at the present time are fortunate to be able to watch a team that's playing well at the moment & 2nd in the League

sadly next saturday you will al go home pissed off. but a few thousand of you wont care as you wont go to another Mansfield game again until you play Notts

CYA

This needs to stop, you have to be fair to Mansfield.

They are currently attracting above average crowds for this level and the best crowds at Field Mill for years, I haven't known them to be like this for at least 10 years. Just because County crowds are naturally bigger doesn't mean Mansfields are 'low gates'

Believe it or not, Notts County are not the industrial standard for L2 attendances. Christ.

What is an "industrial standard"? And is "Christ" your signature?

So how did Mansfailed distribute these tickets Stag dude? I don't know so I am asking the question, but usually in the instance that there is a really big away game such as the inbreds annual big day some thought has to go into ticket distribution. Did Staggies have any policy on this to ensure there was fair and equitable distribution or was it first come first served. They've known for sometime about it so what did they do about it? Why the **** would season ticket holders be moved and so on to make way for your lot? Seems to me all six of those fingers were used when making those comments....,. You got a fantastic allocation and far more than you would enjoy at most places. If you can't use it sensibly then not our problem.

Allow me to explain.

Stags received 3900, which Notts said would be all they got. These went on sale on a Monday to season ticket holders and then on the Thursday to supporters association members. The following Monday they then went on general sale, by which time there were less than half left. Within a couple of days of general sale they were all gone. On the Wednesday, MTFC requested more tickets, but fans had been told by Notts that there would be no more. Stags fans then started buying tickets in the home ends. Notts took a week to then release more tickets to match the allocation Lincoln had been offered. These sold within 40 minutes of going on sale at Field Mill.

The point is not about giving another stand or allowing Stags fans to sit in the home ends, it's about information. Notts could have avoided a safety issue of Stags fans being in the home ends by not labelling the 3900 tickets first given as the 'total allocation' and by releasing the extra 300 tickets when they were requested on the Wednesday. Better still, they could have given us more tickets in the away stand. Sorry if that's a long explanation, buy my sixth finger wanted to get involved. Hope you understand it all. x

Thnk you might find its the Authorities which decide how many tickets you are getting & when they released not Notts. Alan Hardy has said many times in the past they would love to give away fans 5000 tickets but they are not allowed to

as for away fans in home ends simple really keep quiet & you will have a normal day. play it big & chant and jump up & down you either get a kicking or kicked out . simples really , but I guess that goes for any fans going in homes fans stands at any ground.

Is it not normal for an away club to be given an initial allocation and if that is sold out to then be given more?
It sounds like a storm in a tea cup because Mansfield fans got impatient and started panicking about missing out so will now sit with Notts fans, unable to chat, clap or celebrate if you score.

But surely any Stags fan who actually attends games could have obtained a ticket from the initial allocation which was after all much larger than their average home crowd?? if not the way they allocated their tickets should be looked at!! It seems to me that this is an excuse for "yobs" to have a day out as I doubt if any true Mansfield fan has struggled to get a ticket nor would fancy sitting among home fans. We have seen these stories circulating before & normally they come to nowt so hopefully we will all be able to enjoy our normal amount of banter in safety.

Except it wasn't an initial allocation. NOTTS labelled it the 'total allocation'. That's the issue. That's why there are away fans in the home ends. It was avoidable and now Notts and the police will potentially have an issue.

Good grief are we playing a visiting team from the premiership whose home attendance is beyond our dreams ? Get a grip and just enjoy your big day out.

You will be able to spot them if they score, they will be the ones sitting on their hands and blood trickling down their chin where they have bitten through their lip

Correct. All of a sudden Mansfailed think they are a big club. In a few years time normal service will be resumed and they will struggle to bring 1k.
