That is about 500 too much. At their place, they give away fans about 750 terrace tickets and 200 pokey seats.
They could easily rejig their ground ie seats behind the goal to give away supporters more. As they can't be bothered to provide away fans with proper facilities and a decent number of tickets then they should be treated like wise when they go away.

fair comment @MC Yellow .... Ive a few acquaintances who are occasionals at home games...from experience previously, none of them are going to saturdays match with their young uns, entirely due to bad experiences at matches in the past where our local neighborhood bobbys have frightened the life out of youngsters with their 'robust' approach to policing football crowds. ( special mention to the clown in the mounted division whos preference tends to be using his horse as a weapon to intimidate ordinary people, as he rides through them brandishing an extended riot stick while braying loudly, hey, hey hey as he swings said stick in the direction of anyone and everyone), ...to be fair, the mounted officer in question isnt biased, he appears to hate 'everyone' equally!!!!With all due respect Sarge, I can’t recall it ever being a problem filling the ground against Swindon despite a heavier police presence or change in ko time.
Lack of fans is mostly to do with quality of football and opposition imho.
For what it’s worth, I can’t ever recall being intimidated by TVP at high presence games so to say ALL fans are intimidated is questionable.

I did say in my post that Sw*nd*n (Scum) & Wycombe are limited to the required minimum with no extra tickets offered to their away support...yet Pompy, Gass, Looton etc it appears always get issued additional tickets for their visits., along with earlier than it should be kick off times etc
In general the more numbers TVP have on display, the more volatile the policing tends to be, usually but not definatively post match
contrast the siege mentality surrounding Gas visit this coming saturday , rearranged, early kick off, warnings issued to pub licensees/ managers, with the welcoming aura at doncaster saturday last... that was the point I was (probably badly) trying to make
cheers for the info @Dave T .... do you know why this wasnt more widely known ? And any idea as to why the club requested an early kick off?It was the club that requested kick off moved not tvp.

or for that matter exactly WHO it was at OUFC that made the call to move the kick off from 3pm to 1am?
if it was a 3pm kick oiff I could just about make the game, with a 1pm kick-off Ive got no chance of getting to Oxford in time for this coming Saturdays game

would it be worth engaging with OUFC club officials too,as unanswered questions by the owner and/ or board members, ....and now the revelation that it was the club who requested a usual saturday game with a 3pm kick off was moved to 1pm ... kind of says to me the current club officials are not as in touch with supporters as perhaps they should be??? .... To be honest Im shocked that OUFC requested a 1pm kick off for a saturday home game for no apparent reason?I don’t I’m afraid , although Im guessing it wasn’t just to stop you going [emoji6]. It was requested before the trouble in Bristol so nothing to do with that. We are currently working with tvp to try and rebuild a better relationship between fans and police. And that is very much from both sides .

if Idve known that it was the club who made the call to move kick off time earlier today/this afternoon,, Id maybe have been able to get get me Dad to ask Tiger in personPerhaps Tiger’s flight leaves at 4pm.

Not sure that’s quite true..
I’ve also heard The club aren’t happy or comfortable with the amount of ticket transfers over to the North stand for this game and are even more angry after their instructions were ignored by someone who should know better.
He also has to allow for public transport don’t forgetPerhaps Tiger’s flight leaves at 4pm.
