Dot Counting Stevenage Crowd - Sell Out?

Attendance tracking
I think it’s all about Lincoln.

Win, we secure a playoff place. Lose and it’s game over.

Beat Lincoln but still fcuk it up is just careless

OUFC do not get to dictate away allocations, over and above the minimum 10% requirement. If ECFC want to sell the tickets to home fans then that is their prerogative as the home team, rather than an OUFC oversight.

Straw man there, EC.

Of course Exeter are within their rights to limit our allocation - that misses the point. I was simply hoping for clarification that this was indeed what had happened - and that OUFC had done all they could to ensure the maximum allocation for our supporters (for what could be the biggest game of the season - they have previous for simply taking their eye off the ball in these matters, after all).

I thought it possible that we were given an 'initial allocation' and didn't ask for any extra, as seems to be the norm there...

Final home fixture ECFC v OUFC - 12:30 kick off.

I have been trying to buy a pair of tickets for this game. There are only a few single seats remaining according to City’s ticketing site. I have tried to call ECFC several times but just get an answering machine. Anyone know whether I’ve missed out,or will more seats be released?

I also don't believe these additional Block L seats have been released to Exeter fans (yet) - much like our vaunted SSU Block 12 tickets these appear to be bonus late additions on occasion.

Perfectly happy to have it confirmed that Exeter have given us a firm 'f*ck right off' but don't think it's unreasonable to ask the question.

Just want to ensure we have as many of us there as possible. I would have thought that someone who spends half their time on here berating our support levels might appreciate the sentiment?
 
Home seat sales (excluding boxes) for Peterborough up to 7,451 as of 8.00pm on Tuesday which means another 200 sales so far today.

2,103 home seats left.

It’s not straw man at all.

Your last sentence was bemoaning the football club, again.

I simply stated the rules, which I’m sure you already knew.
 
Another good day of sales yesterday left us at just over 7,500 home GA sales at midnight, meaning another 250 sold in the previous 24 hours.

For a Saturday 3pm kick off we normally sell between 1,500/1,900 from this point on, so should do over 9,000 home sales. I'll see if I can find out anything about Peterborough's sales at their end, but would be surprised if it was less than 1,000. Therefore 10,000 should be on.
 
In Block H for Exeter with the in-laws.

Only home tickets left are on the Big Bank - around 850 remaining.

ECFC predicting a sell out so probably retaining a block for extra home sales/segregation.

I was a regular donor for this sort of thing. The Oxford Fanatics debacle put an end to that. Thief(ves). Plain and simple.

Sadly, this is my take on the situation as well. I have queried this with the Yellow Army and they tell me that this is different. All the same, I will not donate until I have seen evidence that funds are used appropriately. I have purchased some streamers from Amazon and will take them on Saturday.
The SSU regulars will be horrified! I may, accidently, of course, launch one into the directors box.

If any of the young fans participating are in anyway connected to the Fanatics, perhaps they could remind them that funds are still not accounted for and that they might like to hand them over to the Yellow Army.

I doubt very much Peterboro’s away support will help our efforts to sell 10,000. Long way and awkward journey. Pretty much guaranteed a playoff place anyway with Fleetwood and Cheltenham to play and a couple of games in hand. Not a “must win” for them as it is for us.

It's not a must win for Oxford either .
A point will be useful and keep some momentum going into winnable games against Lincoln & Stevenage .
I think Barnsley are drifting into oblivion and are catchable .
We have hit some decent form at the business end of season .

Can the Yellow army be trusted? Who knows where the money is going.
 
I thought the ultras and what they did were such an important part of the football club that I would have expected any funds to go on any associated overheads involved with the process of putting on such a vibrant and colorful display.

This is the problem left by the actions of the so called "Fanatics" - mistrust and doubt. The Yellow Army has indeed, been around for quite a while and has the trust of many. They are now striving to organise things amongst supporters to raise backing for the team on match days. Not, I imagine, an easy task.
I hope that any, and all funds raised are put to proper use and not just handed over to anybody. We will see the results on Saturday (or not, as the case maybe)

Further decent sales yesterday of just over 200. We were at 7,709 at midnight.

I now expect higher sales today, followed by higher still on Friday, and hopefully good on the day sales, especially if the weather is as good as forecast.

Appreciated. I use to be in charge of Ultras funds, I filed receipts and evidence of costs for everything spent on displays and general matchday stuff. The donations were vital but I still found myself having to invest my own money to double the donations in order keep it running to the standards we set. Anyone that wanted a custom flag made was shown evidence of cost from the manufacturer we were using, I would never even dream of profiting from Oxford fans wanting flags made that would improve colour inside the ground, even if it went into the Ultras pot afterwards, it wouldn't sit right with me.

Fanatics was a disaster, they've betrayed the trust of those fans who parted with their hard earned money to see a display and disappeared without a trace. Pretty shameful behaviour that now sets back any new group or the Yellow Army asking for donations.

I'm not actively involved with this specific Yellow Army display but know the Yellow Army can be trusted to spend donations on materials that will add colour to the matchdays. Trust will have to be rebuilt over time when people see a return on donations again.
