Title: Colchester tickets
Post by: TonySoprano on April 16, 2025, 04:36:51 pm: Currently on sale in the north stand.
Find that very strange.

I don’t see a problem here.

I guess the club's hoping for noise from our fans everywhere - good decision imo

Too late now as everybody else has paid full price

True because even if there was an offer put up and advertised to try and fill the ground of lapsed/ new potential supporters we would get the usual griping about say a one - off £10 offer to fill the ground and enhance the atmosphere for everyone !

Post by: LincsRover on April 17, 2025, 08:32:12 am: I’ve had a ST for years but have no qualms about special offers for important games such as this one. The club could give 5000 tickets away if they want, just to fill the ground and get a rocking partisan atmosphere if it drags us over the line - I pay for my ST but not everyone can afford to - it doesn’t bother me at all if special offers are given.

Post by: big fat yorkshire pudding on April 17, 2025, 08:55:58 am: I do feel we should have done something for these games, the Easter Monday game won't be that well attended I expect, lots of people away etc. a missed opportunity.

They are so out of touch
