    Yes a pretty good one as well! Can’t believe people have the time to make a fake account and do this lol but that’s social media I guess!

    The giveaway, however, was that the account had no “followers” and wasn’t “following” anyone **so funny

    Like many have said on here would not have harmed anyone knowing the actual sale date and points required.
    Organizational nightmare for travel clubs and those wanting to travel by rail.
    This scenario is exactly what let's the club down every time and basically gets supporters backs up before we even kick a ball.

    We try to keep our fans fully informed with regards what's happening at the club.............I believe Ryan said this early after his appointment as CEO,

    I believe he did but ticket's have been a bone of contention for years because our fanbase is numerically incredible.
    Why communication and distribution of tickets is always a farce is beyond me with so much technology available.

    Yeah good old Ryan. Coincidentally Darragh McAntony told Sparks that we should sign left winger Mason-Clark from Barnet. Sparks ignored his advice, and Peterborough signed him the following season. He’s currently playing in tonight’s game and has been a great signing for them

    I'm not sure if anyone from the club reads this forum or twitter or even Facebook but the sounds are all similar.

    People concerned that they have put on coaches and are worried about filling them or coach companies getting cold feet because they can have secured bookings elsewhere.

    I mean if you stuck a deposit down last week and you are still sat with a half empty coach because the club won't even throw the scraps of the magic loyalty number required because it thinks it might make a few quid pushing a membership scheme then you don't deserve the time and effort these people put into arranging coaches.

    At this stage in 2 days we will pretty much have a good idea of the final outcome of the first leg. If that was say a 4-0 defeat I wouldn't like to have put down a few hundred quid deposit on a coach that might set off half full.

    It's so late in the day now that there is no benefit at this stage in securing transport. Train tickets are £10 to £15 more than they were at the start of the week. If you are gonna have to pay full whack now you might aswell await the first leg result.

    No one is even asking for the tickets to go on sale, they are simply asking for the basic information on how they will be sold, if the club haven't worked this out yet, then it really is amateur hour.

    Peterbrough are 2 up against a side which had 90+ points this season before half time. Ties can be lost in one game.

    It would be good, 2 words - Bradford Council. If it were the Bulls they would be all over it.

    Bradford Council have not shown sporting events on the screen for years. You can go watch last night of the proms later in the year though.

    Couldn't agree more.

    Nothing the club can do until they're told by their main sponsors how many tickets they require.

    Once those tickets are dished out, and to those of players' friends/family as well as those close to people within, i bet we only have a few hundred left for the general fanbase (if the allocation is as low as 1600).

    I think the police have blocked them ever since trouble during a World Cup

    I posted on twitter about I'm thinking the club are waiting until Monday to see how our position is after the 1st leg.
    The reason being that I think after the recent issues with pyrotechnics thrown on the pitch, and the violence with stewards, police and fans, as well as pitch encroachments, the club along with Cumbria Police, will push for personalized tickets.
    This stops fans buying tickets then selling them or giving them to people intent on causing trouble or having pyrotechnics, leading to more fines and bad publicity for the club.
    If we were 4 down after Sunday, and had started selling the 2nd leg tickets, as they want to attribute each ticket to a name and address, then the chances of a load of returns makes it really hard to sell them again.
    Just a theory but I'm struggling to think of why we aren't organised in the way many supporters desire.

    Are we trying to make some money by pushing the membership for a week?
    Hoping supporters 'buy' the loyalty points through the membership.
