Poor from the club with ticketing today. Saw a number of staff from the club that dont attend away games, dyer and his mates who don’t attended away games, wardley and his friends who don’t attend away games. Whats the point of having a points system, if genuine fans are going to miss out?? |  | | |  |

Yep nonsense I thought.
Very quiet. Rows of fans not even trying to get any sort of atmosphere going. Smiling and laughing when we were losing. My row was full of people I’d never seen before (yes I don’t know every town fan) but I’ve been to enough games to recognise faces.
Should we have to go back there. And god forbid we do. Town have to do that better. Not fair on fans who spend hundreds of pounds following us all round the country. |
If, we have to go back up there then they really don't want to tonk this up with giving tickets away to randoms.
Anybody smiling and laughing when we lose up there needs their head wobbling. |  | | |

I thought exactly the same when they panned to Dyer in the crowd. He clearly wasn't there alone.
If there were more then that's even worse. Surely these people should get "VIP" seats instead of taking the general supporters tickets.
Doesn't affect me btw, as I wouldn't have got a ticket anyway. | | | |

Yes this is poor from the club - I have 29 points and missed out. Devon based so put in the miles (and expense). Would have gone today and guarantee would have made more noise than the hangers on. If there is any consolation maybe I'm less worried now about tickets for Hull and Coventry as 400 won't be going! | | | |

That's what I was wondering.
Forget the 398 hangers on, but couldn't the likes of Dyer and Wardley been given tickets from Town's batch of directors' box seats? | |

Some #DefInfo about the 400 figure.
Also explains why Norfolk police said 1600 Town fans were expected. |
Makes sense now why our singing was lame. We could hardly get much going at the back, not enough people joining in.
Well that could turn out to be an expensive mistake because the boys needed us today non stop in that second half and it didn't happen | |

How am I only hearing about this now. What an absolute piss take.
I’ve been doing 10+ away games a season for 10 years when we were sh*t. Haven’t accumulated the points this year but there’s 400 of our 2000 allocation being given away to people from the staff? What a load of boll0x that is. [Post edited 6 Apr 21:00]

They get 2 each for norwich away. |
20% of our allocation went to staff if it’s 2 each and 200 staff. That’s absolutely disgraceful | |

It doesn't seem that outrageous. If I was working for a football club, getting discounted or free tickets should be a reasonable staff benefit to expect. |  |

To home matches, yes. But still only if there are spare tickets once the general public have had their chance.
Not to an away game with a highly limited allocation, and stratospheric demand for tickets. [Post edited 6 Apr 21:09]

Yes but not to one of the biggest matches the club have had in the last 20 years ffs.
It’s nothing short of a disgrace.
Someone posted above that a woman he works with who hates football has a ticket to the game but yet me, as someone that’s done over 100 away matches in the last 10 seasons, couldn’t get one. | |

Luncheon vouchers or private health care, yes, but not tickets to the away fixture with by far and away the greatest demand.
If they want free tickets, let them take up games where we don't sell out such as Preston. [Post edited 6 Apr 21:24]

Why would you minimise the atmosphere in the away end by giving tickets away. |  |

Even if they were paying for them, which they prob were, it’s still not right - you expect to bump into people like that at a big home game, or a Wembley PO game where you wonder how on earth have you got a ticket….but today? Massive own goal from the club |  |

A match at Norwich is the one game that we want our most loyal, passionate and vocal fans at. It's hard enough as it is these days with only 15 or so % of our home crowd able to go.
A load of people there on freebies for a jolly is a fecking disgrace imo.
When I was little, my dad and uncles wouldn't take me to a Norwich game. It was their day to get in the pub at lunchtime and shout themselves hoarse at the ground. |  |

Away quantity is over the course of the season. |
If you are saying that the staff get 2 away tickets per season, it is still very short sighted to allow all or nearly all of them to select the same game. |  | | |

It’s actually a joke, I Havnt seen dyer and wardley at one away game until today (plus there mates), not just them tho…so many faces, staff from the club that Havnt accumulated none all jumping on the band wagon because it’s Norwich, I reckon about 25% of people there today hadn’t accumulated the points |
Wardlley was at Elland Road |  | | |

Hopefully either Phil or someone from the EADT can hold the club's feet to the fire on this and get some explanations. It's absolutely appalling behaviour from the club, makes a mockery of paying £40 for priority access to tickets. | |

Trouble is No it's probably not fair but watching at home glad I wasn't there after that performance.
Thing is FA cup final both clubs get 25 thousand for fans the rest go to people who never watch either side totally unfair and these clubs have 50 thousand season ticket holders. They don't really give a sh*t about fans. | | | |

My issue here is the club know how much this game means to both sets of supporters.
To give 20% away like this is genuinely a disgrace. Even the Evans regime didn’t have this.
I’m obviously grateful to Ashton and co but they owe the fanbase an apology here. The same thing will happen in the playoff away leg if we find ourselves in them otherwise. | |

I doubt the tickets were free, and to some extent it’s fine if it’s the odd few (like it always has been) but hundreds is an absolute joke given the membership scheme / known demand for this game.
Re atmosphere - it was absolutely dreadful today. Embarrassing. A lady a few rows behind me had headphones in and was reading a book ffs. I also barely recognised a significant chunk of people which although happens more now we have bigger followings, really surprised me. | | | |

Sounds like a massive misjudgement by the club. Had we won I doubt there would be much discussion but I see this one going over the next couple o days and Ashtron is going to have to say something.
Of course staff and their family should get perks in the form of tickets. But not all at the same time for a game that so many regular supporters would have love to have attended. |  |

Would be interesting to know if people who just bank rolled points for this game just turned up today | |

I disagree with the bit about it being a bigger talking point because we lost.
I’d have given a boll0ck this morning to have gone to the game. If we’d finally won after years of seeing us play sh*t there, and I came on here and found out I missed out because 20% of the tickets were going to people who don’t follow the club, I’d have been even angrier.
As it is, I’m fuming to be fair glassers. It’s unfair. It’s everything wrong with this country in a nutshell. It’s not what you know, or how loyal you are, it’s who you know that can sort you a ticket out on the sky. It’s an absolute p*ss take and holds fans in complete disgregard. | |
