    Marco said to be full details were not on the tweet as the number of characters are limited which is why it linked to the full story, when I asked why it didn't say anything in the full story either he didn't know and just kept saying he would let the media team know. So basically passing the buck to Lewis Redmond

    you've not answered my question, is this why you think sparks doesnt understand the rules - as he does not want empty seats?

    imagine the uproar from Midlanders who had move seats only to find their original seat empty..

    Marco has assured me that it is no longer possible for a seat to be sold twice, I said I wouldn't hold my breath

    I think you are being remarkably silly in accusing fans of bashing the club. Any organisation that is not open to constructive criticism or able to admit their errors is immature in a nutshell. We all support this club warts an all, but I personally cannot stand being lied too. Trying to have fans at both ends is something I would support but it has to be done properly with full consultation. I gather the manager wanted it to happen for this very important game, but bloody well say so and I am sure the fans will do their best to accommodate it. The communication has been awful, they need to do better.

    I hope they gave you a rebate for messing you around.

    I really don’t like this at all. Why should Bradford City fans fund other clubs? We don’t have Beckam et al handing any money to us?

    Glancing through this thread, just makes me all the more determined to just keep the 2 tickets I bought at the bottom of the Kop on Monday evening. No way do I have any time or desire to get stuck in a telephone queue to try and swap them

    The amount of stress this has caused normal innocent fans - without so much of an apology or even acknowledgement from Sparks & Co - is 100% going to leave a sour taste in a lot of mouths for years to come

    On the plus side, at least it's only for 1 game, and the atmosphere should be fantastic

    oh yeah I won't deny its a shambles with the ticking provider and comminication has been poor.

    The line for me is when people suggest something that just isn't true - the Club didn't move the fans around because they misunderstand the rules. it was purely to get home fans in the TL dallas stand. I will admit the club should have made that clearer but heyho they only knew we were in the play offs after the fulltime whistle.

    If you are planning on trying to move I would say ring now as it could take until the deadline waiting

    Because 2,440 is exactly 10% of our current capacity after segregation and closed areas.

    Midland Road holds 4,500 people. We are giving them fractionally over half of the stand with 2,440 (54%). That brings them just over half way. Even with say 10 seats x 25 rows covered up for segregation all the way up to half of E block is more than 2,440. So why have they come to 2,440. Oh because that's 10% of the capacity adjusted for segregation.

    It is utter bollocks. Salford 's chairmen could buy all the tickets for every game and then hand them back for re -sale. Would not touch his wealth.
    Whoever came up with this rule is a complete #### . Feel free to add your own discription.

    Not printable what I think. The other half rent forth this morning when he found out. Not a pretty sight but there you go. Can’t we object as a club to this? It is depriving our club of revenue!

    You’ve still not answered my question - its just a yes or no answer.

    either way the layout of the stands would be exactly the same. You’ve said so yourself. So I don’t understand how leaving 400 empty seats sorts anything. TL Dallas is still for home fans so what are you griping about?

    the fact that the club want to sell all of the seats they can sell?

    the away capacity was higher in a normal league game so I dont really understand what point you are trying to make.
