I've been clicking refresh on the website for two hours, don't get this problem in speedway!

Hope you got your footy ticket sorted ..Can I just ask a question please . Who paid the Sky Blues players wages when they played at Northampton ? The gates of 1200 wouldn't even pay the rent ..Who paid the staff ?

Yep finally got some at 6.45 after queuing 3 hours, I've not managed to get the night off work yet! Sisus 'investors' are supposedly funding the club although of course they just place the debt onto the club. The club last year reportedly owed Sisu 60m! This is why they wanted to bankrupt the Ricoh by withholding rent, the arena is a potential goldmine especially the land around it. Thankfully the court seen through that!

No problem with the Barker signing but the decision to move the Kings Lynn match to Thursday is just a total joke. No Howarth, Garrity and Hansen? then no £17 from me Mr Horton. Move it back to Friday.

Neil Watson has hinted on FB, price reductions or offer may happen.

 

Just to the people that think that less than 20,000 fans would attend the game, they sold 12,500 in the first day alone despite slow internet access. Expect it to be over 20,000 by Monday Morning.

Get your point but more have said they can no longer attend the thur meeting so can't see any bigger crowd on the thur

I think there would've been a bigger crowd on Thursday but the situation with guests will put people off. I'm hoping a few conversations are going on to try and get riders to be at Brandon.

On a speedway site very fair! Several on here have already said they would be at the football.

Latest update from the club that all released tickets have now sold out. despite only going on sale 3 days ago. They hope to release more if they can satisfy segregation issues. Looks like a 30,000 plus crowd for a Division One game, a huge change from the 2,000 crowds at Northampton.

Which only 1,500 was 'home' supporters.

Im sure they will release more tickets, to sell 20,000 in a couple of days is phenomenal. Let's just hope the police see some sense for a change!

i think the extra 13500 that haven't watched them are going to get a shock at the "quality" of league one football, kick and rush down the park!

We have had a league one season at the Ricoh and we were shocking to begin with. We know what its about now.

So now we down to Harris, Anderson and Sargeant plus 4 guests or RR

 

plus KL without PUK

 

Makes Emmerdale on itv 1 look a viable alternative !

 

Stadium could be even more empty now than actually running on Friday - especially pathetic as the muppets at ccfc at this moment in time not allowing for more than 15,000 tickets to be released for a 32,500 seater football ground !

 

In hindsight, Friday was a more viable proposition !!

 

What a mess.

 

Happy days (not !)

Did ANY Bees fan speak to anybody from the promotion on WHY it has been switched ? I asked Mr Horton or Mr Watson via this Forum & got totally blanked .

They opened the rest of the ground apparently apart from 2 blocks near the away end. It looks like it will sell out.
