Abandoned games etc, a lot of clubs use them for all ticket games, the FA cup for example.

And with hindsight that is what our season ticket holders should of used when they collected their FA cup tickets. Simple to account for and easy to quickly reference, no ticket in your book no FA Cup tickets.

Same as logging trust member card numbers when collecting tickets, common sense really (it all stops double dipping), It all sounds like it could of been administered somewhat better and I'm sure valuable lessons must have been learned.

Just purchased my ticket now for the Rochdale game and there was a steady stream of people buying. I was fourth in the que and people coming in after me. Should shift a few tickets today.

There is 750 ground tickets remaining, so take that off whatever our capacity is (not sure)

4,414 capacity then Mark.
Club says 4,400
Website states 4,200
Steve Patton mentioned 4,188

Anybody know which figure is correct?

Mmm, the club/company secretary, the keeper of all legal records says it's 4,188. Those selling the tickets say they're selling 4,400 tickets. That'll be interesting if they sell them all.
That Wikipedia page says in the text that the ground has "...a present capacity of 5,000" in contradiction of its own figure on the same page.

Confused? You will be. :?
It all comes 'round again.

Think it was the FA Trophy semi-final in 1990 when the official capacity of the ground was 6002, but I was told by someone in the know that were closer to 7000 in! Don't think that could happen now with modern H&S rules etc.
