Surprised there’s no representation for the off pitch matters, as they do usually form a large part of the questions at these sort of things.

Be interesting to get Nigel and Coops take on the price of a pint Sandys and the turnstile queuing times

[PEAR CIDER]

No sure why SSA members get priority for this to be honest? It doesn't say this is a perk when asked to sign up. I'm not discounting the work and effort that the main members of SSA put into the club, but not sure why average joe members get priority over non members - We are all fans equally.

Their forums are always conveniently times just prior to these....

If i recall, there was about 10 tickets left for the last one for general sale.

The solution to the turnstile quques is to get into the ground earlier and buy your beer from the ground kiosks.

Normally they have their SSA AGM before the fans forum.

[PEAR CIDER]

i know they do... that's why I am saying, they always arrange it before these things, which then limited the general sale to non members.... Its not listed as a Benefit so I am not sure why they have been given one.

I did wonder this myself, do the SSA pay the cost of hiring out the room/staff etc? (Maybe this is why)

[Captain Cunno]

Course they do
It's just an excuse for some of them to lick Cloughs harris.
Tickets won't even make it to "general sale"

[Martin Shaw]

it's arranged in conjunction with SSA, which is why SSA members get a priority window for tickets. Dean has been pushing on the organisation of this for some considerable time.

Last time, there were plenty of tickets available for non-SSA members, and they were on sale to non-SSA members for 6 days (16 Feb 23 to 22 Feb 23) before selling out (see viewtopic.php?p=992815#p992815 )

As i replied before... it sold out... and quickly, mostly by SSA.

ok, sorry to hear that. It's not the case that SSA took all the tickets though.

you are talking about a previous occasion and I don't have the exact data on that, but I did confirm with Mark about that previous occasion that SSA did not take all the tickets.

Last time, they went on general sale for six days (see the link I provided above).

[PEAR CIDER]

still not right though either way

[Richard Cranium]

Is it not the SSA who put the fans forum on? Seems fair to me

[Martin Shaw]

tickets now on General sale ... having not sold out to SSA members

[PEAR CIDER]

So announced to ssa members before the rest even knew about it

[Captain Cunno]

Before it was even announced

[vicar_jeremiah]

Well we do pay £4 per month and most of us are pensioners so give us a break

[Martin Shaw]

sold out, having been on General sale for 24 hours.

[Martin Shaw]

[geoffhill]

I think that the SSA do a great job for the football club;I have been a member for many seasons good value at only £4 a month.Less than the price of a pint of beer plus cheap bus travel.

[bear 73]

Anything that sells out is good for the club, we must learn to think bigger.
Nigel answering all the opinions on Stagsnet is a must for any supporter and facts being the subject of the day, is not to be missed.
Oh the players can tell tales about a acid tongue, and being shot down in flames.
Clough on Professional football and players is like a great Knowledge hitting you
Could we not hold it in the new Fanzone

What

[PEAR CIDER]

Not sure what's not to understand. SSA members were informed and had got tickets prior to it even being annouced on stags website..

Pear, it's an SSA organised event, why wouldn't it's members be informed first? In fact, you'd be pretty hacked off if you were a member and it didn't tell you first about it. At the end of the day everyone who wants to go has had the chance and don't forget, were it not for the SSA, this event would not be taking place.
