A new points based system - away tickets

[Campsall rover]

I'm exactly the opposite having been told 30 to 34 points for me meant buy Monday

An hour later I got second email saying mistake had been made and now Weds for me.

Should be ok if first 2 days given over to those with 35 plus

There will be plenty left on Wednesday Wolf.  No way will we have 770 fans with 35 points or more.

[Donnywolf]

Good to know.  I guessed so but does anyone know if Box Office have notified all people their approximate Points or are they on persons Box Office Account

I ask because I usually get the Tickets for 4 people and my Mate hasn't had a notification yet so the 2 of us might not be able to apply together this time

As far as I recall he missed only one away game that I attended but if I have an "estimated" 30 to 34 Points he may have 29 points so would be handy to know

[roversdude]

Agree it would be good if it was available on your profile - that said there is history of the tickets purchased in there to do a manual count

[ravenrover]

I wonder if you can only buy individual tickets unless they are named against your account? If it's points based how could you go on and buy 4 tickets without them being assigned to an individual to check their pints tally....... or am I missing something?

That sounds a good plan,check your pints tally. It might help in keeping some of the younger 1/2 pint lager louts away!

Yes I have been getting Tickets for 3 , 4 or 5 people for several Seasons

We are all on each other's Accounts and I have to assign Tickets to each person I am buying for so I guess in their Ticket history those will be noted as roversdude said so can be counted to give a Points total

last year at Harrogate the toxic environment was not caused by young kids ,but by middle aged men , I've still not had an email about the tickets

[karldew]

Hopefully prevents some of the DH’s going this season it was toxic last season.
I’m biased but think it’s a fair method

The whole club had been toxic for 2 years and Schofield shouldn’t have been there for the Harrogate game (I think he knew he was going, and couldn’t be arsed anyway). It was a bit over the top but it had been boiling for months before. It didn’t help the dug out was no more than 10 yards from the fans either.

[roversdude]

Rich is correct the toxic atmosphere was centred around not kids but pi$$ed up blokes that I don’t recall being at any other away games

[roversdude]

Anyone any idea of how many 35+ point fans we have?

[NigelJ]

Anyone (with enough points, obviously) been able to buy a ticket online yet?

[roversdude]

Not showing up yet 9am I guess

[roversdude]

Still nothing

[Away Rover]

Nothing online for me either.

[roversdude]

Ticket office just engaged

[Away Rover]

They are available online now.

[roversdude]

All live now guys

[NigelJ]

Just bought mine online. Note that there are two separate terracing areas, and just a handful of seats.

[roversdude]

Anyone know how sales are going

[NigelJ]

478 left.

[Padge_DRFC]

478 left.

After all this it will make general sale.

Don't think sales are going to well on Notts County and Mansfield either

[Campsall rover]

We must have some of the most fickle fans in the entire EFL.

Only turn up when we are winning and even then loads don’t bother.
Good job we have a solid base of fans who go through thick and thin because there has been more thin than thick over the years

[roversdude]

To be fair it only opened up to STH today
By the way just noticed this is a 1pm KO

Camps, you're making this out to be exclusive to Donny fans. It isn't. Fans all over the country are the same.

If you're winning and playing well, attendances home and away will be up. If you're losing and playing crap, they'll be down.

It's the nature of football.

I doubt it will make general sale - its still not open to just season ticket holders. I expect the remaining 400 or so tickets will sell out on Friday when those who don't have to have been to several cup/away games will get a chance to buy.

[Donnywolf]

475 left only 1 Seat

Well spotted roversdude. 1 pm KO went right over my head.

i
You’re not wrong SS but I do think Doncaster fans are more fickle than most, I really do.

Don’t know what’s in the psychology of the Doncaster Football public but it’s definitely fickle when it comes to supporting their local club.
The attitude is so negative. Is Doncaster such a depressing place to live that makes people so negative?
Imo there are many towns and cities which are far far worse than Doncaster. I have been to many of them in my working life.

i have 35 PTS on the priority tally, but have decided not to do Harrogate, as we went last year, and have got a lot of other games planned plus Xmas expenses. Am I a fickle supporter?

Now you’re being silly Adam. No of course it doesn’t. I didn’t go to Newport that was through choice.
Doesn’t make me fickle.
You know exactly what I mean.  I don’t expect 6.000 Rovers fans wanting to go to away matches.

[Padge_DRFC]

We do have more fickle fans. We amassed a fair few 1000 fans from 2003 over that 10 year period that only were used to winning more than losing and getting promoted. Now the going has got tough a lot have binned it off.
