Gordon, how come there has been no "breaking news" at all on the official site in respect of people having to buy a ticket for the Swansea game? In the Ticket News section, all it says is that ticket news for Swansea will be available about 5 days before the game.

If people travel to Swansea and can't get in without a ticket, there are going to be some very miffed fans.

It would have been beneficial to have known that the game was all ticket prior to the weekend. At least then people could have made it down to the ground to buy their tickets. This way it gives nobody a chance.

If Swansea only told us it was all ticket after the weekend, then fair enough and the question has to be asked as to why they only sent us the tickets this late in the day. However, if this is down to the usual lack of planning by the powers that be then this is exactly the kind of thing that the new regime needs to eradicate. A bit of forward planning goes a long way to the average supporter.

Gord, not wanting to stir up a hornet's nest here but who told you? Was it Swansea or was it someone within our club? If it was Swansea, then I don't see that the club could have done any more. But if someone within the club knew about it earlier, than surely we should have been pressing Swansea to get the tickets and the info here earlier. I just worry that people in positions of power don't see the wider implications of things like this.

I shall now pack up my soapbox!!

Fair enough. I withdraw all my previous nags about the club in the thread. It's hard to accept that maybe the club will be more fan-friendly under Mr Doweck and whoever else comes on board, when we're used to years of cloak-and-dagger and bad organisation. I apologise for doubting them.

Thanks for the info Gordon.
