Quite the gesture, be good to see the East stand full and those there blinded if the sun shines...

There is an obvious logic to how tickets, I hope to go down tomorrow to get some for all the fair-weathers I know.

Just a shame our food isn't as good as that at Batley (something I'll honestly miss).

Deeks,I agree I like the Batley burgers, but the pies at the LSV are pretty good , I went to watch Salford v Fev yesterday and the pies at the AJ Bell Stadium are terrible.Though Frank did say the Red Wine was decent.

You could be there a while as it is also a good marketing exercise as they will be asking for details. Make sure you take all their details with you. See if you can turn these fair weather fans into regulars

North Stand .......

Looks like I'm in the East stand for a change

Just ordered ours online. West Stand nearly sold out now, we had to book in the East Stand. This game will be sold out by tomorrow night.

That's a good showing on day 1
Just hope all those who have loyally followed us all this season (and before that)
A)Know about this and
B)Get a ticket!
Should be a big party atmosphere although must admit I really want us to win this and keep our great run going.

Hope it's not too sunny then Steve!!

West Stand only has a hand full of tickets left, no two seats together. East stand, middle three sections all but sold out. Looks like they have to open the South Stand to home fans by the morning.

It's a fantastic gesture and I'm really looking forward to seeing 10-11k in our stadium. What an atmosphere that will set up. (Batley probably won't be overawed as there were 15k at Headingley last week!)

As an aside, what are the VAT implications of free entry? Presumably HMC&E will expect 20% of say an 11k gate, irrespective of whether folk pay or get in free?

It is a great gesture by the club.
I hope all the new attendees have a great experience and nothing spoils it.
One thing that can and will is the moronic members of the north stand who still persist in that pathetic song. Parents of kids sat near us on Sat
were clearly embarrassed when the crowd began. I know a lot of loyal fans feel the same The north stand has been poor with useless aged songs. They are a long way behind the dire fans who occupied that stand at the cc semi final. They were louder and wittier.
That song was never part of the club history just some ****holes acting big hiding in the dark at the back of the old supporters stand.

will i be able to sit in my usual seat ,using my season ticket?

Yes, assuming you have it reserved

The VAT implications will be relevant to whatever ' reimbursement ' Dereck has agreed to pay the LSV as compensation for letting us in

yes its a reserved seat in the west stand,also i think this is a great idea of derek and the b.o.d.

Me too Starbug ....

Mrs went from work about 6.30 pm, we needed our usual 3 for North Stand but Club could only accommodate 3 seats together in the East.

Whole ground will be sold out by end of play (bar maybe the odd single seat) by end of play tomorrow *mark my words*

As a fan of our club doesn't it make you feel proud that we have gone that mile to see scenes like today

More queuing for tickets outside the stadium on a Monday evening than we used to have INSIDE the stadium on a Sunday afternoon.

We have come a long way over the past few years and it has been great to see it unfold

Yes.

Looks like the ticket office website has crashed with the demand overnight. Could be "Sold Out" by lunch time!

If it can be classed as a discount then no VAT is applicable

I would say that the club should put out a statement come Thursday imploring people who have collected free tickets and have some left that won't be used to drop them off at any of the ticket outlets. Irately to allow th fans who regularly use the North Stand and didn't get one for there a chance. And to deter the people trying to sell them from doing so. So making unused tickets available and the ones that are being sold worthless.

Well put Tony

and a good idea, I'm sure some fans received more tickets than they needed yesterday.

Just had a quick look on the site looks like

10 left for west stand

500 ish for East

South Stand now open
