Play Offs Display

[ninestein]

Last year we knew we finished 5th with a game to play, and sold tickets for the eliminator without knowing the exact opponent. We knew the date and kick off time.

I believe Notts did the same in advance, knowing they would be in a home semi final. They probably came close to selling out before the winner of our tie was known.

What is the logic behind that decision by the NL?
I just don’t get it.
Is it me??
Am I missing something?

Possibly a miscommunication?
I'd hazard a guess that since it's mathematically possible to finish 3rd (despite there being no real prospect of it happening), the date of the game can't yet officially be confirmed so tickets can't go on sale until it's finalised. It's probably not the specific team they're playing that matters just which playoff bracket they'll be in.

Then again it is the National League so who knows.

They certainly allowed us to commence sales for our eliminator last year before the final day of fixtures, despite us not knowing who we would be playing. I was impressed with that and with how swiftly the club acted in getting tickets on sale.

I think the league wouid be right to say that while there is a mathematical chance that positions could change, clubs can’t act like the places are final and can’t sell tickets to a match which may take place on a different day, however unlikely.

The display has been ordered! Thank you to everyone who has supported this. We have set the final goal at £450 which will allow us to also get 2 big waving flags including a Bring Back Barnet one. Class response from the fans https://gofund.me/940d3d71

Already surpassed the £450

[PBBee]

Well done all - I see Zak Brunt has stuck a tenner in & Kirk Rayment £50.

And Edgar David’s £5, although I’m highly doubtful it’s actually him!

I'd like to try the North stand but I'm far too superstitious to change my seat now!

Well done to the Amber Battalion for showing initiative.

What percent of capacity do we have to give the away team?

[Roy57]

I'm not sure where the 800 people to hold a flag behind the goal are going to come from - or maybe 400 will each hold 2 flags? But it sounds like if it comes off it should look quite spectacular.

Would imagine after Amberbattalion asked to get in touch, are looking for people to give up there usual seats in the legend stand and join them behind the goal,

[Roy57]

My son has asked to go behind the goal, if the seats are available. We will definitely be up for this and this is the kind of thing we, as fans, should be supporting. If I were the Amber Battalion and saw some of the comments I would think "why bother"!

Were is that like button.

It's a great initiative by the AB and should be applauded. I hope it works out.

Scunthorpe now got permission to sell tickets from next week for play off game

[AmberBattalion]

The display of 800 flags are on their way and 2 large 6ftx6ft waving flags are arriving soon including a BBB one. 5 new flagpoles have already arrived. Thank you to everyone who has supported this. Ticket sales are looking strong behind the goal so let’s push to get it sold out

[AmberBattalion]

DISPLAY UPDATE - The display will be in Block C and D in Stand 66 from row D upwards. We ask everyone who has a ticket in Stand 66 to be in the stand 10 minutes before kick off and FILL UP THESE AREAS first. The flags will then be held up when the players walk out.

[John Hunt]

Nice effort guys. Please don't be put off for the future. The Bring Barnet back flag looked class.

[rudebwoyben]

I thought it looked good too.
