Re: Public Meeting - 11/12/2017

This for me, we have a lot of fans who attend every game but can't afford the season ticket upfront. It's just another way to get fans on board with more flexible options. We are fan owned and so we should have more fan friendly options :) Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk We did try this a coup...

Re: Poole Town Play Off Issue and Darlo

When the planning was originally submitted in December 2014, we were at step 4, and required a Grade D ground. The application was submitted to provide a Grade C ground, with an eye to extend it to Grade B and A in due course as our progress required. There was also provision in the plans for 500 se...

Re: Ticket Arrangements For Play-Off Semi Final Announced

Tickets for the final will be available online and through Quaker Retail. Due to the short period of selling, it is unlikely we wi...

The final will be held at the home of the higher placed side on Saturday 3rd May. A full announcement regarding a...

Ticket arrangements for BA/Spennymoor for ST holders

Following feedback it has been decided that season ticket holders WILL NOT require a further paper ticket to attend either game.

We will reduce the number of tickets on sale accordingly and assume that you all will attend. :)

Re: Ticket arranges for the Spenny + Bishop home games

I can't help but feel that putting this obstacle up is going to backfire on the club. Hope I'm wrong but to ask every season ticket holder that does attend to get these paper tickets from the one home game remaining before the Spenny game is a lot to ask of some people.

Re: Ticket arranges for the Spenny + Bishop home games

Not sure on that score however we have 100-150 season ticket holders who don't come to games on a regular basis. Hence the reason why the club are asking those season ticket holders who are coming to the game to get a paper ticket. That way we can maximise the amount we make on the day. It’s the me...

Re: Ticket arranges for the Spenny + Bishop home games

Er, what changes have happened that could make the capacity go down? The green guide is ludicrously cautious with capacity assessment, that ground will hold far more than 2,004 even without the new stand. But if it's going to take an expensive architect, then maybe it's not worth it after all. Why ...

Re: Ticket arrangements for Darlo v Spenny

It's not quite financial viability here, and it's not the case that we would lose money on this game on a crowd of sub 500. We did a bunch of price modelling for various prices and for various crowd levels and the results showed that we would need to add between 400-600 on the anticipated gate to ac...
