Thing is you’re talking as if you have a right to extra seats. You don’t. Nor do you have a right to be pitch-side.
I’ve been to many clubs with larger grounds than they need and we were given small allocations and stuck in the clouds. Sunderland, Leeds, both Sheffields - even Notts County and Lincoln did it.
We didn’t moan about it. We had no right to.
If you had a 20k seater stadium, would you really give us 6,000 seats behind a goal for this match? Be honest - you wouldn’t and we wouldn’t expect you to.
Good on you for giving more space for your day trippers. Absolutely the right thing to do, and I hope they become loyal fans.

Tell me where I have said that we had the right to extra tickets or to pitch side seats. It’s quite possible that we won’t sell our present allocation of 2000. Then again, you can never tell with our fans, especially if we get a positive result on Monday. What I am saying is that if we gave you all the tickets for Monday that some of your fans seem to think they are entitled to, it would be denying our fans the chance to see a game at the Broadfield which would be our first ever foray into any playoffs. Our capacity is somewhere between 5600-5800 and we have been selling up to 4800 home tickets at times this season. You have a capacity which exceeds your average gate by nearly 5 times. Can you not see the difference? I have no idea what we would offer you if we had a bigger capacity. Let’s stop the silly arguments on this one and enjoy the games.

you think you're gonna stop us getting on the pitch we'll storm the lower section and celebrate with the players, we'll smash into your home section and/or we'll celebrate outside your stadium and then we'll celebrate in the streets of your sewer town.

I thought you'd showed a bit of class last week but this is just pathetic

Not you. And yes, some of our fans have indeed been moaning about the allocation.
The main point is that being in the clouds at SMK isn’t vindictiveness and anti-Crawley. I’m sure most here would want you to have a fantastic time bar the result.

It sounds like keeping away support to a minimum is the proverbial cut-off-nose-to-spite-face, especially if it leaves plenty of empty spaces, but I can't blame MK's management for keeping Crawley supporters well away from the pitch; some of our more exuberant youngsters don't have a good rep for lobbing red smoke flares onto the playing surface. Some of them are better shots than our attackers, too.

Sewer CITY.
We have the opposite problem: being called a city while we are a town - including by a previous CEO.
They’ve now gone and changed the window of times to sell away tickets to season ticket holders to tomorrow then for the rest of us on general sale now moves to the Wednesday
Had a couple of interesting conversations today on the back of the date change for the away leg. Firstly, more will travel because its the weekend, guess that is obvious. Then, secondly, travel earlier and of course drink more and arrive in high spirits. Could these spirits overflow in conjunction with the game and occasion? Not sure the evening ko for a Saturday was planned very well, though of course I'm sure the TV company had something to do with this.
