He throws random stuff out there, often with little context, as though its fact when he's regularly proved incorrect. I'm not suggesting he should stop posting, just think a bit more about what he's posting and would adding a little more information/context help? For example in this most recent post was it something the club had posted or he had heard from someone at the club, or is it something he has heard second or third hand. Helps us all judge how true/accurate the information is. I'm very much in agreement overall with what you're saying here, but in mat's defence he did say 'apparently' here. He made it clear that it was rumour. I think, in general, he has got better. He'll learn.

Anyone know what's happening with extra tickets? Haven't seen anything with regards to extra allocation being released yet? Was presuming it would start at 10 a.m. today but nothing from the club in terms of how many more we're getting?
Edit- In a ground of 17K capacity for a team that averaged about 10.5K in attendance last season I was hopeful we may get an extra couple of thousand tickets. Looks like that hope may be misplaced as everywhere I've looked states Blackpool's away capacity is 2.5K. Oh well, Sandcastles on the beach it is!🤣

Nothing announced yet. I think 10am was for general sale of the original allocation, but as they all went it will be a case of waiting for the club to advise whats happening.

Olivia hanvey said on Wednesday that the total will be 3.9k My dad also reckons that the next batch of tickets wont have proper facilities and it will be portaloos - i dont know where hes seen that though

Blackpool’s “temporary” East Stand that they built about 15 years ago. AFAIK it’s the only area of the ground not on sale to home fans.

Imagine the outrage if the club have got it wrong and we've had our lot.

Imagine the outrage if the club have got it wrong and we've had our lot. I understand that was the case in the second half of last season. Apparently they gave everyone the whole stand initially, then Carlisle fans spoilt it by going a bit giddy and now nobody else can have nice things.

The last I heard (not through anyone within the club) is that the Police have the final say.
If they've got loads of coppers away with Summer hols etc it might prove trickier to police with another 1000 there say.

Tell them all our nutters managed to get tickets first time around, so the incremental cost of a bigger allocation is minimal.

There is also the view that that element of trouble 'fans' will travel regardless of tickets, so you're better off having them in the ground rather than drinking for even longer in the pubs.

The consensus on their messageboard is we won't get any/many more either but a lot of them agree it's daft their club will miss out on extra revenue.

We were told an initial allocation and could get more if/when we sold out, which we have done. There’s now rumours suggesting the additional allocation might not happen?
