Didn't you "move" a wall fan in the DRS Aud? I was there that day  Looking back I do feel embarrassed - but they were a couple of your typical Millwall fans that were getting lairy. The concourse was carnage. I remember a Wall fan was taking a piss when someone behind him give his head a mighty shove into the wall. A friendly fan threatened to rip my face off. That sort of fan banter was the order of the day. You weren’t actually sat with me we’re you?

I can be charitable, and assume they have a plan for proper Wrexham fans not getting their hands on these (I am sure the debate will rage).
The concept is fair enough though - the one thing the club has done well in recent times is selling Hospitality packages. They did some link up with Boom Battle Bar a while back as well - you get drinks and some games plus a bus to the ground and your ticket.
I'd presume the club gets a % of the mark-up on the hotel room for the night and know full well that Wrexham will draw in some International fans these days, and not just of the Welsh variety.
Absolutely nothing wrong bundling some away ticket inventory with hotel rooms. A good idea, to be applauded. Bundling home tickets with seemingly no safeguards to prevent away fans of a club with a known hooligan element, who are most likely the club's target customer, is reprehensible.

I'm not trying to be contrarian (but it is the internet after all) what safeguards are there for any ticket bought through ticketmaster?

That’s a good point. Are they the arbiter of who can buy irrespective of address?

You quite often see clubs saying they will be checking postcodes of buyers in the event that an away allocation has sold out. We've seen that in recent years.

Maybe James Watts is judge judy and executioner? Which would be handy as that's the only way you can buy one of these packages

That’s where there were loads of Wall fans. I was up the back, just before the Perspex wing of the DRS.
Fuckers were chucking bricks from outside the ground.

There's probably 250 seats in those three blocks that aren't season ticket holders, and they are spread out. Can't see many Wrexham taking that up if they have 3,200 other tickets available.
You are assuming they aren’t going to move season ticket holders… they better bloody not be.

Looks like the ‘away’ section of The Arkells is available to home fans. So Wrexham in the Bank only? Thought we had to give so many seats under cover to away fans. Or does the DRS Xmas special supposed to get around that?

That section is greyed out for me for the Wrexham game in the map.

From twitter. Not sure if true or not So then, apparently the central block of the DRS is to be deemed a ‘neutral’ zone for Wrexham in a similar way to what Fulham offer. This gets around the EFL requirement to offer a % seats under cover with Wrexham only getting the SB. ST holders to be offered a move #stfc

Offered a move to where when it’s likely to be a sell out.
