Bees v Wrexham April 15th
Re: Bees v Wrexham April 15th
Now only a total of 30 seats left in block C and B, 190 in block E, and 105 in block A. So easily the whole of the Legends stand will be sold out.
Re: Bees v Wrexham April 15th
Hive stand A, B and Block D sold out, will they open the family stand?
Re: Bees v Wrexham April 15th
Mad this could be sold out weeks in advance - what even is the capacity at the moment (whilst we are at it clearly the new stand won’t be ready for next season).
Are we confident the tickets are going to Barnet fans?

Re: Bees v Wrexham April 15th
It would be nice to think so, but it seems implausible that there is such extraordinary demand from Barnet fans so far in advance of the game. It’s a long way in excess of anything we’ve seen for a league game for years (perhaps since Chesterfield on the last day in 2018, although that was different in that it only picked up in the week leading up to it, and even then it didn’t sell out).
Re: Bees v Wrexham April 15th
Just 128 tickets left on sale. If blocks F & G are released then there's an extra 600.

There’s certainly a lot of interest in this game all round, but it seems overwhelmingly likely that there will be hundreds of Wrexham fans hiding (or not) in our end.
Can definitely foresee the old bill getting involved, could be a tasty one.

Re: Bees v Wrexham April 15th
I can’t really understand why they have not given block F to Wrexham. Would have significantly reduced any sales in A to E from their fans. I genuinely hope I’m wrong, but there could be trouble - I hope there are spotters and hook out any Wrexham fans - easier said than done I know..

Block F should be given to Barnet fans surely!? And maybe Block G too!North Finchley Bee wrote: ↑27 Mar 2023, 22:43 I can’t really understand why they have not given block F to Wrexham.

I love Luisma & really miss his skils!
Re: Bees v Wrexham April 15th
What about giving Wrexham fans the family area of the east stand and keeping the whole of Legends stand to us?

Re: Bees v Wrexham April 15th
Family stand could be a solid option as it's completely segregated away from the home fans and civilisation. I think that section holds about 250 seats, so a nice overflow.
It's only ever open these days for families with freebie tickets for when we're on TV anyway (so the ground doesn't look so empty on camera).

The point is that putting F&G blocks, which used to be for away fans and so can easily be used with separate entrance/exit & facilities etc., on sale weeks ago for Wrexham fans would have prevented or at least minimised the risk of away fans appearing all over the home area.
I agree that at this point, with the damage done in that respect, those blocks should now go on sale for Barnet fans only, because we will have casual fans/not-very-online fans/fans who couldn’t commit sooner/local people interested in a big match who haven’t yet even thought of buying tickets whom we don’t want to lock out of the match.
As for the family stand, I can’t imagine the police would be keen on having two very separate, distinct areas at opposite ends of the ground with away fans to police, so with so few tickets left let’s open it and get them sold to Barnet fans, or at least the Barnet-curious! As I say, the damage is surely done in terms of away fans being peppered all over Legends so there’s no point trying to lock the stable door.

Re: Bees v Wrexham April 15th
Block F opened & available as of yesterday for home fans.
Re: Bees v Wrexham April 15th
Every block pretty much sold out except Block F. Presumably G & Family Zone will go on sale soon?
Whilst I don't doubt there is demand from Bees fans after strong turnouts this week but surely we are going to be surrounded by Wrexham fans.

I believe the family stand is being held back for corporate hospitality.
