Hmmmm.

I just find it pathetic . They have 3 millionaires on their board. Andyfreight (the chairman). Prospect coaches and A&H construction who deal with councils across the country. Is anyone telling me that they , collectively. with their clout , could n't have sorted this out months ago. ?

I hear what you're saying, BUT....you're dealing with an organisation that will hide behind lawyers and bureaucracy to drag the process on and will never admit liability. Add to that a building company in the middle, that will do likewise. It could drag on for years.

I've no interest in debating the ins and outs of this. However as a question of fact, it should be noted that nobody from A&H or Prospect Coaches has, or to my knowledge ever has had, a place on the board at SFC.

To be fair TRM I don't think your club is culpable in anyway but that's just my fact based opinion!

From the club website of folks have missed it…

To attend our away match at Stourbr*dge, the remaining tickets will be distributed through a ballot system. Due to the high demand for tickets, we felt this was the fairest way for all involved.

The application process for the ballot opens at 6pm today (Tuesday 19th) and closes at 10am on Sunday 24th November 2024.

Successful applicants will receive notification via email at 12 noon on Sunday 24th November 2024.

Ticket collection can be done between 6 and 9pm on Monday 25th November at the James Grove Lounge or on Thursday 28th November from 5-7pm at the Club Shop.

Tickets that have not been collected by 7pm will be entered into a final draw. Winners will receive email notifications later that evening, and arrangements will be made for ticket collection before the match.

Applicants aged 13-17 must adhere to the youth membership card rules - a valid membership card must be presented during ticket collection for successful entry.

Only one entry is allowed per email address; duplicate entries will be disqualified.

Seems the fairest way, I’m sure it won’t please everyone.

Anyway here’s the link

No fairer way to do it, I know some away requlars might miss out but with no booking history or way to prove attendance what else can the club do.

I think the worry is that someone who has never been to a Halesowen match could buy one, with the sole Intention of trying to cause trouble
