Bradford

[roverstillidie91]

Does anyone know if they're getting an advance on their allocation and if part of the away end is being opened for us rovers fans?

[colfromdonny]

I'd rather they got the full away end and we fill the other three, we'd sell more tickets and there would be a better atmosphere ( and, hopefully more Bradford fans to upset  )

[dknward2]

Think they have got and sold the allocation they have been given about 1,500 give or take.

If we sell tickets quickly enough then the away end will be opened to us if not it will remain empty

[colincramb]

Pretty sure we will end up with fans behind both goals with the way they are selling and still 5 days to go

[Arsenal Of The North]

I’d have give them the 900 in the east stand and left the north empty or opened up for our lot! Give them no helping hand

[Bentley Bullet]

We had both ends allocated to home fans at Belle Vue under Dave Penney on a few occasions in the Conference Days.

[dknward2]

We have to give minimum 10% of capacity which is what we have given and no more.

Hopefully not many if any Bradford fans in the home end hopefully we will keep them quiet

The 10% allocated is fair and within the rules … the question we should be asking is why we still can’t sell out our own stadium .
Unless we get to grips with sorting out why we can’t fill the stadium, promotion is going to get tougher as costs rise and player ambitions to play at a higher level often means loosing out where strengthening the squad is concerned . Bradford have a good following and they’ve got Leeds on their doorstep. I hope demand for tickets will prove me wrong Rtid

There's still blocks to be put on sale. The ticket office staff will be in from 9am. Let's see how today goes. I'd expect there to be a decent take up once the momentum gets going and word gets round it's going to be a good attendance.

[roversdude]

If any of the general public need reminding we could be promoted/champions on Saturday with Port Vales game kicking off at the same time as ours

And in div 3 aswell.

Wimbledon can still catch Bradford. They won't make that easy for PV.

The only way the stadium will be full on the regular if we have a sustained period of top end Championship or Premier league football. There’s too many other big and successful clubs on our doorstep.

Impossible at the minute to go to a Leeds game. Wednesday rob their fans blind, Blades? Never known Donny to have many.

Then the rest is armchair FC Liverpool and Man Utd

[Draytonian III]

Give them the minimum, end of.

I think we are seeing an emergence of Donny supporting youngsters and lower league football in general. Our away attendances this season are also testament to that.

[Stewmaiden79]

Tickets are selling really well for next week. It makes you wonder if it’s loads of Bradford fans infiltrating the home end. How easy would it be to beat the system and get a ticket?

[colincramb]

They might be one or two that can get around it (for example have mates in donny that don’t necessarily support us but have a purchase history with the club for whatever reason, although I don’t think they would be able to do this on mass

[moses]

I have had two friends who had season tickets in the early days of Keepmoat ring for tickets to be told they are not on the system so can't have tickets. I have had to get them for them.

[colincramb]

Some Bradford fans suggesting on their forum that they have been able to buy tickets in the home end because they have previously bout car park passes when we played them in previous games? Not sure what truth is in this?

[Alan Southstand]

There were Bradford fans, on X, yesterday wanting to sell their Donny tickets after they threw away 2 points at Chesterfield!

We’ll definately have a bigger crowd than yesterday, as Bradford are taking up 1500 to start with (compared with 600 and odd Colchester tickets).

I’d guess about 11,000’ish on Saturday, as the early kick off will be a problem for some.

With the normal home sections already sold I think we're over 10k home fans already.

[RoversInSpain]

Last 2 biggest attendances were
Crewe (PO2L) 12,889 and Palace this season 12,739.
Can we edge above these?

[Copps is Magic]

This must surely be a bigger game than Palace. There was massive momentum with the Crewe game.

Only 400 odd left in blocks on sale currently.

[Copps is Magic]

Club decided to build it up.

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

Quite right. Make people think they're missing out and they'll come.  Think I'll be getting down early.

[Copps is Magic]

less than 400 left. 50 going every 15 minutes currently.

[Nudga]

And it's worked as loads of tickets have gone W31 since I last looked an hour a go.

[scawsby steve]

I spoke with Tracey in the ticket office earlier today. She confirmed that Bradford would only be getting the initial allocation of 1500, but said that Rovers fans wouldn't be given tickets in the North Stand.

If tickets are going as fast as it seems, surely that decision will be reversed as the week goes on. Let's get as close to filling the ground as possible.

[bpoolrover]

Only 360 tickets left then only the north left
