People who live up the road can attend their first game and get priority.
I don't think that many people will do this because they would be very casual fans and (a) they have to have read about the offer. casual fans might not be aware of it. and (b) they have to attend Swindon vs. Brentford. not a very appealing prospect for someone who hasn't been to any games yet in our best season for years. |

Just buy a ticket then, you don't actually have to go to the game.
Problem solved.

That stub thing was only for the away leg at Brighton with the allocation of 700 wasn't it?
...and they still went on general sale.

I tend to agree with Arriba..
3,4 or 5 matches notice would have fairer and there aren't many other ways of prioritising tickets (other than the card carrying loyalty scheme which will no doubt be in place next season)
But I bet you there would have been plenty of people complaining about the board's ambition or expectation if this incentive had been announced before the exeter game for example when 2nd was still a distinct possibility..

Yeah but we had already lost at home so most thaught it was all over anyway. Today on the website it states that season ticket holders from this year or for next will get priority for both playoff matches before stubholders anyway. |

I'm with the whingers, this is a shit decision and without precedent in my experience. It's always been 3 to 5 stubs for non season ticket holders. Bullshit.
FITTON OUT.

The plastics will stay at home and watch on Sky anyway. Could have been announced a few games ago though.

I agree with Arriba - and I have bought a season ticket for next year anyway so ill get a playoff ticket anyway.
Yes its good it will boost attendance, for one game - but I couldnt afford a season ticket at the start of last year in one go. So I have bought my tickets individually every game and have been to 35 Swindon matches this year in total (including 12 away games). So I would be fucked off if I had the CHANCE of missing out on a playoff game because someone who only attending the Brentford game got priority (if I couldnt make it). I feel they should have said "2 stubs from our remaining 3 home games" or something.
And all the morons going on about "whinging" - actually try and see it from someone elses perspective. Like I said, i'm not bothered as I now have my season ticket, and I have disagreed with Arribas views in the past, but I would be fucked off if it was me in his situation.

I'll bare my arse in Burton's window if any genuine fan who really wants to go to the home leg misses out on a ticket because of this decision. Massive over-reaction.

Surely only 4 people complaining on a football forum is not a over reaction.

I think if I couldn't make Saturday but had been to numerous games I'd be pissed off at the prospect of not getting a ticket. Who wouldn't!
I hope that won't be the case, not only for the sake of those who can't make it but also because it'll stop Paul D waiving his ass about in public.
