Wrexham sell out ?

Someone should tell them that if we do end up meeting again in the 2 leg play off then however many tickets they give us will set the level for the number of tickets we give them 

Yes, as a business that is losing money at a crazy rate; let’s give them 2000 less tickets and lose out on an estimated £60k (based on £30/ticket) !! 

So your reasoning is it’s better to get the ticket money from 2,000 away fans than try and sell them to Charlton fans ?

and of course there is the little matter that promotion is the main goal and the money from that instantly pays back multiple times over…and even the trip to Wembley on its own will generate a significant bonus

I'm assuming

1) Sky will announce whether this game is on TV, on Thursday
2) Ticket details will follow shortly afterwards.

It makes no sense to start selling tickets now when there is a strong chance it will be moved.

Wycombe tickets went on sale before any decision of whether it was moved for TV.

Logistics for Wycombe a lot easier Wrexham is a really pricey train and a potential overnighter so personally I’d rather know before committing 

Also distance has an effect. Easier to get to Wycombe at12 30pm if moved so, than Wrexham.

The EFL would not allow Charlton to restrict Wrexham’s allocation in a play-off leg at The Valley so the point is moot.

Its what it is...EFL took the money from the recent SKY deal and handed over the fixtures to the broadcaster to decide and us mere fans are just given only 1 month's notice on KO times. It will be moved thats for sure....hopefully to earlier or later KO on the Saturday as a Thursday night KO is clearly logistically problematic for most fans, but that won't be a consideration when SKY decide. A Thursday evening KO, will stop me going as my son and I can't take time off. An expensive train ticket or long drive or overnighter awaits for those that get tickets.  Its probably academic If away allocation is only 800 tickets, as i won't qualify as I don't have Valley Gold and so I will watch at home. Lets see what the EFL in their "lack of" wisdom decide.....one thing for sure is for those going to the match from south london the KO time won't be a consideration...EFL will decide on what gets the largest potential viewing figures : advertising revenue etc....Hopefully we will find out later today?!

It looks like Wreham give 1260 or 1284 to every visiting fans according to a comment seen on Facebook. 
So it must be correct.

1284 seems to be the figure I’ve seen. Hopefully that’s what they give us & not reduce it, if they have a chance of winning promotion from the game. The only new ground for me this season.

There’s one tiny little bar for the whole away end too! 

I shall take my hip flask then 

This whole Sky thing is a shambles, was only because certain clubs owners got out of their tree about clubs like ourselves and Derby investing in in-house production services and not using the notoriously unreliable iFollow. 

Sky looked online and saw loads of fans moaning about Leeds being on the telly all the time and trying to appease the moaning minge bags they decided to put everyone on the telly , be careful what you wish for

Vast majority of the growth is sponsorship. It’s OK if you can sustain it or build a club off the back of it, but otherwise there will be a hell of a comedown.

So if increasing income from sponsorship is perilous , what income stream would you say is
safe.
For me we should be looking at ways for our club to boost all the areas that Wrexham are out performing us in, that or get open handed multibillionaires.

There are degrees of risk. Wrexham are likely dependent on a narrow pool of (overseas) sponsors paying big bucks; if you build your domestic ticket revenue then you will have more resilience because there are more decision makers. The Netflix option won’t be available to the majority of clubs, so it’s not really a model for others to copy, and it won’t continue forever.
