How long would it take to collect £10-15k in buckets?

Loads of Town fans wanting tickets for the match but the paltry allocation of 2200 has gone and none more are to be released...

Surely it benefits everyone to give us more?

You'd have thought so, eh? But then there's a lot of decisions about which we're mystified.

Why would the Club do the sensible thing and raise much needed extra funds.

I'm presuming your club have asked for more tickets? That's the logical thing, but then our club aren't very logical :(

Presumably the cost of opening the additional space is higher than the income unless confident of selling a significant number of tickets over and above the 2,200?

Reading now it's on Police advice after last year...what a joke.

I reckon at an absolute minimum there'd be 1000 people who'd go...if pay on the day I reckon an extra 2k+

Any safe home areas you'd recommend to Town fans if they still decide to go?

Opening another area of the ground = More staff

More Police

More Stewarding

The more tickets we give you, the more we'll lose

Should have behaved yourselves last time then.

It's you lot who're costing us money. Clearly it's all your fault.

Absolutely no chance you'd bring over 4000. No chance

Depending on the number of buckets available and given an average size of pocket, if the shakers were stood outside of Iceland, but leaving enough space for shoppers to enter and frozen goods to exit, then between one and six weeks. (I reckon).
However, if they were stationed in Uddersfield town centre, between three to four millennia.
