VOF will not rock the boat. Were nt they selected by the Club so they will not be controversial about anything.
I hope the Trust take this matter up on behalf of the fans.1 user thanked author for this post.
Unless I have missed the Club have made no comment about the ticket allocating shambles.
It’s no good them saying they were not involved because they have previously made a statement saying they were in talks with Rochdale and Fanbase.
This is not the way to treat thousands of fans who are Season Ticket Holders and Fans who do not have Season Tickets but just as important to the Club.
It’s too late for Rochdale but at the very least they could and should make a Statement and also a Commitment that nothing like this will happen in the future.
The Fans who they have upset are the same ones they will be coming begging for money again in the future !3 users thanked author for this post.
One of the perks of buying a Season Ticket was that it enabled you to get priority for games with limited tickets.
I wonder how many fans who have had Season Tickets and not got tickets for Rochdale might well think twice about renewing.
Rochdale are selling the tickets for this game but I have seen on some sites that the Club have been in contact with Rochdale about how many tickets we could have but surely during these talks they could have insisted say 2 tickets per Season Ticket Holder.
Did nt this fiasco happen last Season for the play off final ?
It’s no good the Club saying it’s all down to Rochdale but they should be looking after the interest of their fans and seem to have not done this.
It seems to me that the Club could get a lot of bad feeling over this ticket allocation.1 user thanked author for this post.
The main point here is that someone swore at a steward and gets banned but an employee of the Club , in this case the Manager swears at a fan and nothing seems to have happened about that.
Seems the Club have a 2 tier system. One for them and one for others !
Should never have come to this and it seems if Butler had nt of got involved then it would have blown over.
The Club needs every penny they can get and it seems they have just lost several hundred pounds.Thought the Club had moved forward from banning fans but obviously not !
It’s a downward spiral for the Club doing this sort of thing especially if abusive language was used by Butler who is an employee of the Club.
So a fan / customer is banned.
So are the Club taking action against their employee if the report of him using foul language is correct ?5 users thanked author for this post.
If I remember correctly there was no division of fan groups until this Unity Group appeared on the scene.
We already had several long established well run Fans Groups and why was there a need for another ?
Seems to me it was to feed the egos of some of the members of Unity !
It just seems Unity go from incident to incident and the publicity this brings is not the sort the Club needs.
One thing is for sure the last name that should have been chosen is Unity !2 users thanked author for this post.
UNITY. They don’t know the meaning of the word.
Seems like they are showing their true colours.
Just shows how big a fan that Dave was if he is just walking away.
No doubt he will attach himself to another Club next Season !1 user thanked author for this post.
I just cannot understand why the Club are all over this Dave and Maw who don’t really represent anyone but don’t seem to have any time for the Trust who only have 1200 Members or 25 % of the current fan base.

If we get promoted how the hell will we survive.
The Club cannot even afford the grass to play on.2 users thanked author for this post.
Lots of opposing fans used to come into the Donny Road End but usually did nt stay very long.
Fighting was common in the Donny Road End in 60s and 70s and often after games outside.
Different times and no CCTV so if you did nt get arrested at the time there were no knocks on the door weeks later.
Iron fans always stood in Pontoon Stand and again no segregation.1 user thanked author for this post.
Was at Swindon. Went on Special Train. There was no segregation at the game.
In fact in those days not much segregation at any ground1 user thanked author for this post.
It seems to me that the Club back Dave and Unity because they do what the Club wants where as the Trust is democratically run by the members.
If the Trust are prepared to raise money in return for shares is this really a bad thing ? The Club still get the money.
One thing is certain you cannot continually run a business by asking for hand outs from your customers or in our case fans.1 user thanked author for this post.
I cannot understand why Michelle and the Board are all over this Dave guy and the Unity Group but seem to distance themselves from the Trust who are a well run audited democratically elected group who with around 1200 members represent 25% of the current fan base.
Is it because instead of giving hand outs to the Club they want shares in return so the fans who donate get something in return ?
Having people run round with buckets asking for donations to this and that does not look like a very professional way for the Club to get money.
I see there is also a just giving page but if you subtract the bucket money and the one donation of £500 the uptake on this seems very slow.4 users thanked author for this post.
Went to Boston and had one of the 50 seat tickets. In the area allocated more empty seats than the 50 Iron fans !
No segregation at all in the seating area or below the stand in the food and toilet areas.
In fact we moved nearer to the centre of the stand for a better view.
Who ever arranges ticketing for away fans at Boston cost their Club thousands of pounds yesterday in lost revenue but also stopped Iron fans from watching their team.1 user thanked author for this post.
