Bath Away jan 19th

[Southampton Gull]

Wasn’t aware of problems before, but with an 8840 capacity you’d hope they would try to maximise revenue by giving us a fair chunk of the ground.

I’d agree that 1350 might not be enough this time, if that was the previous allocation, given what we took to Weston a couple of months ago on a Tuesday night.

Have you forgotten about the infamous photo of Pasty throwing a bottle at their fans during an FA Cup game several years ago?

By the way, they were talking rail tickets not entrance tickets

Now you mention it, I do. Oh, rail tickets. Of course. Whoops.

I do reckon we could easily take more than 1350, though. The combination of a two week break; being hopefully still top; a good opposition and a reasonable journey up from the South West or across from the South East does make it seem very likely.

I estimated 900-1,000 at WSM on a Tuesday night so could well be 1,500 at Twerton Park. Bath are on form so total gate could reach circa 3,000.

Just read on Facebook this game is all ticket for gills fans. What about us exiles?

Why are Gillingham playing Bath?

[Rjc70]

They might lose a few on the gate with this decision, although it’s not on their own website.

I’ve just e-mailed Bath City and will post any reply received here.

Gills fans. Is that Gillingham, Dorset, or Gillingham, Kent?

[Nick Potkins]

Very strange. If you consider to took about 1200 to WSM and now being top I would estimate we could take 1600+. Bath is well placed for exiles form London and the North, plus Worthing!

Further question, how would they stop us getting into the Bath end by paying on the day. Asking of trouble.

Get as many in yellow on the train as you can because at Exeter's the Greeks will be getting on board to Newport

I called Bath City an hour ago and they confirmed that it would be all ticket for away fans, and that they would be sending 1,000 tickets to Torquay. This will be done early next week. I was told that I could pick up tickets from Twerton Park as well, as I only live a few miles away in Bristol, so I would imagine they'll keep quite a few back, perhaps to be sold on the day.

Sounds like I’ll be able to pick it up on the day then. That’ll be alright.

[standupsitdown]

All ticket only for away fans seems a bit pointless in a stadium that holds 5,000 more than the likely crowd.
1,000 is well short of demand and selling some on the day is a bit hit & miss for those wanting to travel.

[Southampton Gull]

Let's see how tickets sell first. It's close to Xmas and an away game on the back of four home games do money will be an issue for a lot of people.

[Rjc70]

I think people get put off by having to book in advance. They would have got 1500, but by doing this I doubt they’ll sell 1000 for their open terrace. Up to them if they don’t want the money, I suppose.
