I can see it from their point of view, they are a small club with only a small ground and cannot accomodate the amount of away fans that normal 4 sided grounds can.

And this means we have nearly 1000 seats empty From scum forum. Are you fucking kidding me? I know they need segregation but 1000? bit extreme. |

In a funny sort of way, I can understand what they've done. They have basically put their own fans first. Put the home tickets on sale well in advance to see what the demand was (and that looks to be about 10,300 fans)...and once they were sure all/most of their own fans who wanted to get a ticket had one, they put the remaining tickets on sale for us.
I wasn't going to try for a ticket to this one anyway...there are much better away days than Oxford. But demand will comfortably outstrip the supply on this occasion, so someone in Swindon is going to make a killing if they can find a way to legitimately get a feed for the match up on a big screen.

Can't really blame then, it's called looking after number 1.
We could have done the same if we had of sold out the home areas in the 1st game.

Guess I won't be going.
However you have to understand Oxford have sold out their cup final.. Any cup final with such a limited capacity would sell out.
On the plus side, now many more Pox can see us exact our revenge.

Look forward to them only getting the North Stand allocation if/when we play them at home next.

Buy a pair of stilts from giggles and walk up & down the fence very slowly.
Go the night before & drill some peep holes in the fence.
Hire an open top double decker bus & park it by the fence.
We don't need their tickets. We should just turn up en-mass in the car park 5 mins before kickoff, they would never give us such a small allocation again ever

It's a joke. People say they wanted to see what the demand was for the game but surely they should have left us 2,000 tickets when they put them on sale back in 2010? Still don't get why they sold them to home fans so early. Desperate for cash i'd imagine. They have basically done it on purpose to try and maximize the home support and reduce the numbers of the travelling support.
