Hopefully the club will ask for more.
They can ask as much as they want.Hopefully the club will ask for more.
sadly very trueThey can ask as much as they want.
In recent games Wycombe have only given us the end.
Have raised this and will let you know when we find out anything.as per WWFC 'limit' the allocation for away tickets to just those behind the goal for Oxford United's visit
yet for (some) other visiting clubs an addition of several hundred more, are allocated
Extract from footballgrounds guide website (link below) regarding away supporters.....
"Away fans are mostly located at one end of the ground in the Dreams Stand, where just over 2,000 supporters can be accommodated. For teams with a larger following then 350 seats are also made available in the Main Stand, increasing the total allocation to 2,350."
1808 tickets allocated (and all sold) for the away visit there..... maths isn't my strong point, however I make that 542 away tickets light for a club less than 30 miles away
IF 2350 away tickets are available why, yet again, have only 1808 been made available for OUFC visit?
@OUSP Secretary & @OxVox can this be investigated?
( BTW - it has nothing to do with the cost of Policing, nor is the restricting away tickets for Oxford United's visit 'on the advice' of TVP ..... a FOI request, a few seasons ago now, when WWFC, on their official twitter outlet CLAIMED TVP had imposed restrictions and were subsequently proven to be untruthful, as the aforementioned FOI information, provided by TVP Commisioners office confirmed *)

* Either somewhere in the archives of this incarnation of YF, or a previous incarnation of YF, the FOI information referred to and all the discussions at that time, can, presumably, be viewed (?)
EDIT....What are the odds on WWFC (mis)using covid restriction requirements as this seasons 'excuse' ???
The limit was set by WWFC on advice from their safety group based on past behaviour between the two clubs. We have pointed out that this decision is likely to increase away fans getting tickets in home end and is therefore counterproductive from a safety point of view.Have raised this and will let you know when we find out anything.
cheers for asking ...... agree with your commentsThe limit was set by WWFC on advice from their safety group based on past behaviour between the two clubs.

Only on the pitch ...Has there been a lot of trouble against Wycombe then? I can't remember anything significant.
Jesus, the closest I have ever seen come close to 'bad behaviour' at Wycombe was after Nicky Wroe hit that superb winner right at the end in 2014, leading to about 6 people bursting through those weird foam barriers they had in the away end! What a goal that was btw.
Blimey, I'd forgotten about that or even the fact that Wroe had played for us! What a strike that was. I guess Williams will be the only player from that game to play this time, or is Bloomfield still going?
I thought their manager Ainsworth set a figure a few seasons back knowing we would being great support, then there was the policegate version where TVP set the amount Oxford should get but they then denied this and it was the Ainsworth version, and tbh I don’t think there has been any behavioural problem with the fans of any note.The limit was set by WWFC on advice from their safety group based on past behaviour between the two clubs.
