I understand we have sold out initial allocation so blocks 28 and 30 are now on sale. Of course there is nothing to stop anyone contacting the ticket office to swap blocks or specify a certain block.
Fan vs supporter.
They are, as I often experience, very obliging to those who ask!
As someone else said, maybe that's a fan, rather than a supporter. Anyway it is basically a leisure pursuit and I don't want to be judgey about it. I have a season ticket but live nearby and am too lazy to go to away games, so I can't claim any great moral virtue.
In my view, you are only SUPPORTING a club if you do it in some sort of financial way.
.... which is not surprising when you get incidents like that at sheff weds at the weekend...
You can't treat everyone the same because of actions of a small minority though, we don't accept that in other walks of life so why with football supporters?
Is there any chance of getting the club to start an OUFCTickets twitter account that does updates like this? Or get the SLO account to do it? It's great that some people know certain things, but would definitely be useful for the wider fanbase to know, especially in cases like this game, where there appears to be a bit of resentment about the positioning of the initial allocation.
Yes you’re right, younger guys provide a lot of the noise and give the atmosphere we all enjoy, as long as they don’t behave like arseholes they should be encouraged to attend.
The information on ticket sales can be sourced from both the OUFC ticket office and by phoning MK Dons direct. This is what I did to find out which blocks were being offered to OUFC supporters and in what numbers. OUFC ticket office staff were kind enough to inform me of the status for which blocks they had ticket availability. MK Dons SLO, Oona Carmichael, other than informing me that block 29 was open for away support, was not forthcoming with any explanation as to why the blocks behind the goal were not available. Blocks 25 through 30 are designated away support areas. I had been hoping that representation to MK Dons by OUFC would have produced a more positive reaction however, to date, nothing has been made public.
I'm sure both ticket offices would prefer that sales info and updates were posted on a regular basis on one or more social media platforms than have dozens of people phoning them on a daily basis to ask about the current availability.
Exactly why better information in website pieces or broadcast through the various social channels would be more beneficial for all.
Unless you're sitting in my seat!!Just turn up, get in, ditch your ticket and sit where you like.
