New beginnings - 25% Truth, 80% Bollocks

Loads of the comments here are a complete over reaction, no one is being moved and this is being advertised on the official Swindon website.  Away fans could try and get tickets in the home end regardless, what's the big deal?

Any 'over reaction' is caused by the umpteenth Comms disaster from the club. Constantly creating their own problems. The fact that the Trust have had to get involved is proof enough of that.

I don’t get the problem?

I'll say it again, it's pretty obvious these are targeted towards the same tourists that Wrexham have been keeping tickets back for. They'll be Wrexham leaning tourists/neutrals.

Might not be the greatest day trip after Wrexham score and they get pinged and thrown down a flight of stairs though and it'll be the clubs fault.

Ah, I didn't see this on the Wrexham website.

I can’t believe the club want to sell tickets to a football match.

I can't believe DV is being sarcastic about something.

Why on earth would they get thrown down a flight of stairs? These are the middle sections of the DRS, frequented mainly by middle aged season ticket holders. Stop being so dramatic, seats aren't being sold in the TE and we arent living in the 1980's. If there are Wrexham leaning tourists around me then great, let them enjoy their day. I am sure if they are forking out the money they are, then they are likely to be sensible enough to be respectful of where they are located in the ground. We do love to over react.

[Costanza]

Most of the reaction doesn't happen if STFC communicate with their fanbase appriopriately - a common issue over the last 2 and a half years.

Of course there'd be some eyerolling and, given the current climate, some anger but most of this was avoidable.

The club sell hospitality to every game, and I’m pretty sure they sell tables to away fans.

I have, and know others, who have been in hospitality at Town games away.

The odd thing here is that the tickets are in the DRS.

A slightly different thing but I remember a Millwall fan sitting behind me in the DRS, he did say that he generally sits with home fans when Millwall play away if he could partly because of how some of their fans behave and partly how they get treated by the police & stewards. He was just there to watch the game and was no problem at all

Should be taken to court under the trade descriptions act.

I read something yesterday on the EFL site about appropriate separation or stewarding of fans (and of course I can't find it today).
Hospitality has dedicated stewarding so would tick that box, random seats around the DRS is a different matter IMO and I don't know why the club would take the risk

[Mooneyraker]

Wasn't on the bingo card for today at least but nothing would surprise me from the last ten years. You could say that we'd been used to wash Wagner arms deal money and I wouldn't be shocked.
