Apart from the fact that the tickets under scrutiny are forming part of hosptality packages- what is the difference from how tickets are sold for every other match?
People phone up or order on line (or whatever method works today) and order tickets. We don't often get awyers in the home end do we?

No way we'll turn down a potential £40k which minus concessions a full bank will probably be around in revenue. |

There's been many a game I could count away fans during an injury break in play. If Wrexham sell out, its inevitable same as it was for us many times- FGR, Harrogate... ...... No problem with them selling spares to hotel packagers. Do have a (small) problem if they block book out the best seats! Not that it affects me. |

This place would have been fun if they repeated the Sunderland and Portsmouth option (it was those two, right?)

We done the same last time we played piss stains  No problem giving them the whole bank if we keep the Arkells and DRS all home fans. |

And sadly even Brewitt isn't immune from criticism at the moment. The alice band is staying in the drawer for now.
'ey 'ey, hang on. Brewitt is beyond criticism at the moment as he's the only actual "defender" that we have! I'm after the chairmanship😉 |

Can’t work out what would be worse, Wrexham fans in the DRS or a wave of football YouTubers/Streamers claiming to be Wrexham fans who didn’t know Wales was a place 4 years ago.

The Trust are now seeking clarification. Hopefully the club don’t ignore this request!

I believe I kindly offered you the role of Matchday Guest of the Tom Brewitt Fan Club. Don’t be put off by the title. It’s a bigger role than meets the eye! (And yes, Brewitt gets shafted by our system but on the basis that no one was better than a 2/10 against Aldershot, he gets criticism… for once.) |

Judging by how long they have waited to see the books i expect a response after this game has been played |

It seems that the blocking of the seats in the DRS is simply for fans that want to buy the hotel packages. The thing that I don't get (still) is the communication of these things. Surely the club must (should) have had conversations with the Trust about this? In theory it's not the worst idea in the world, but I'm sceptical as to how many Swindon fans are likely to take up the offer. Given the concerns that Swindon season ticket holders have stated about sitting amongst Wrexham fans or YouTube tourists, it would also have been good to hear the club confirm ticket sales are to home fans only.
I'm sure there will be a statement by Trust and club soon, but why not explain their thinking when they announced the hotel package deals today? It was obvious that given the amount of fans who are part time sleuths there was always going to be questions raised.

Rikki Hunt did it a couple of times in the 1990s and gave Sunderland fans both the bank and the Townend.

Why didn’t they just do this package for away end tickets?

Agreed. Baffling. Hotel bundles are a good idea for away fans and could be a nice earner for the club. |
