Does your matchday ticket have a" not for resale" printout? If so could those profiteering from this game either be banned( ST holders) or cash sales be picked up for touting? Only saying like 🤔 I agree and I cannot think of a bad enough name, to call these so called fans. I do not know why any other true supporter would wish to make money from another fan.

The problem with the FB pages is that you don't even know if this person saying that they will sell a ticket for £200 even has one. Some of the youngsters think that it is funny to post things like that, and get people's hopes up. Very true and have a mate who this happened to. The swines really played it out too This post deserves a "dislike" button - what a horrible way to treat a fellow Gashead.

It’s not the fact that I cant get a ticket that annoys me, as others have mentioned I could have hedged my bets and bought a ticket weeks ago, given. But its the lack of an alternative to going to the match that bugs me out. Pseudo-live text or radio if we’re lucky, come on ffs its 2022 not 1982.

Let's be frank, the tickets are worth absolutely nothing...unless somebody wants one and is willing to pay for it, that value is determined by the buyer. So less outrage and more reality would be welcome.

Seeing as the match is a sell out - can't Rovers do something to stream it over Youtube / Facebook? I don't see why the EFL would have an issue with that. Alternatively you'll need to go abroad to watch it on iFollow. Make sure your kids don't mess around with your VPN...

Idea. Tom Gorringe sets up his phone on a tripod and Facetimes/Zoom calls the Landlord of the Wellie, who then sticks it up on a TV. Rovers should do something to get this match out to as many outlets as possible. Plenty of fair weather fans who could be brought back into the fold. In this digital age these things must be possible... (subject to EFL approval).

It is Football League and FA rules I’m afraid, that 3pm Saturdays are sacrosanct, outside of international weekends. And rightly so. It’s fine showing Saturday’s game, but if it sets a precedent up for all 3pm kick offs we will end up with pubs rammed for Liverpool v Bournemouth on Gloucester Road at the same time as we are playing. In the NFL there is a rule that a game can only be shown live within a hundred mile radius of the stadium if the game is a sell out. Maybe the EFL could do something like that?

Is the Gate being used? If not get a beam back on there. It is possible for away teams to have so why not home teams. How many would go?
