With the usual lack of progress by FV, I have a feeling that the Coventry game on Saturday may be called off unless something happens in the next 2 hours or so.
What I find odd is - they've not even allowed Coventry to start selling away tickets...

One can perhaps understand the issue with home tickets but surely the away allocation could be sold through Coventry.....I find that odd. Perhaps I'm just thinking too hard.
Coventry are in as much deep shit as we are. Or had that escaped your attention?
I really don't think that they are, they have just signed a striker for £750k - we don't even have a striker !
They no longer have a ground. They are ground sharing... paying rent to be able to play. They've sold 3,000 season tickets for this year - slightly less by 1,200 than the away support we had on our opener away at Wycombe. The owners have no interest in football whatsoever, are litigious and have interests they are defending financially. And they've bought a striker? I don't give a fxck if they bought anything short of Wembley... They are doomed.
Pretty similar to us really...

Why should they sell us away tickets when they get no benefit from it?

There are interweb rumblings being circulated by unverified types that ticket news is imminent. Still, finality to the cake and arse party that's been our takeover has been imminent for weeks.

My guess is that when they do make an announcement regarding tickets, everyone's going to have to have access to a printer.
QR codes, Bruce. It's the future (four years ago)
I considered that also, DSB, however, not everybody has the requisite kit
True but if they can print a ticket they can print a QR code
But that's my initial point - not everyone can.

I don't understand the question.

A club sells its home tickets and sends the away allocation to the visitors for them to sell.

We haven't sent Coventry tickets yet - I'm trying to understand why....

Bloody hell LLS, I wish we could afford to spend £750k on a player at least they are backing their manager - I don't think FV have the funds to spend £7.50 on a player - I'll have a bet with you that they will finish higher than us this season, ground or no ground.

Whoever takes us over will be unable to buy any players for a fee as we'll be in a 2 year transfer embargo.

They are dying a death of a thousand cuts. Their home games are twenty two miles away from the Ricoh. It's not sustainable.

In the long term they just might make it to MK Don status and become West Coventry Bromwich City or something... but I doubt even that.

As for the short term, I know the punditry is backing Coventry to be Dark Horses, on that score I don't know, so I will politely decline your wager.

We had 1,800 tickets for Wycombe (according a postmatch tweet, we sold 1,660). 3,000 is not "slightly less by 1,200" than 1,800. That's all.

Tickets on sale tomorrow for the Coventry game, if the takeover still hasn't been completed by Sat (and we have to play the kids again) they will be lucky to get 7000 home fans on, if its completed they may get 10k+ home fans plus 2-3k from Coventry.

3k from Coventry? That's 1,200 fewer than we took to Wycombe.

3000 (number of Coventry season ticket holders) minus 1,800 (number of Bolton away supporters) is 1,200.

Coventry's season ticket holders outnumber our away support by a mere 1,200.

Ok, I didn't know we only had 1,660 - it was widely reported to be 1,800. Also the number 3,000 was a maximum, at the time of going to press it was 2980 (hence the slightly less).

Ahhh, now I see, slightly MORE. :oops:

Just as an aside to this, they're not on sale on the day of the game, in case no bugger spotted it. There goes my usual MO of making my mind up with 45 minutes to kick-off. :-(

£24 - having a laugh. I know we are skint and in trouble. But was expecting some sort of a gesture. That’s expensive if we’d built a side ready to challenge for the championship. For paying to watch the kids get thumped? Wow.

Yes its reasonable if we had been taken over, feel good factor, fresh start, possible new manager, new players, some hope of winning etc. - but £24 to see the same team of U18's / U20's kids as last week with no strikers get comfortably beat, takeover still in the balance is too high. Its almost like paying £24 to watch a reserve game (top tiers are also closed btw).

Are you two both for real??

24 quid is quite reasonable. What were you expecting? FV or whoever 'might' make a gesture when/if they take over but I presume this price has been set by the administrators. It's pretty comparable with other places and just 3 quid more than last Saturday.

Personally, I'm just delighted we can put the game on and I've still got a team to watch.

Hang on, some of us are still owed a game we'd paid for from last year. Very surprised that they want £24 to watch the kids, to such a point that they can feck off with it :)

By jove congratulations Mr super fan, I doff my hat to you sir.

The last time I checked I was real, also if you read correctly I did say that £24.00 was quite reasonable & I do agree that it is comparable with other places, however IMO just not for reserve team / U20 football.
