I agree with you on this and feel the club should have offered only the top or bottom of the darwen end with the option for more dependent upon our sales. Its quite obvious that the club could not do anything about the away tickets but if Celtic refused to budge - why couldn't we on their allocation.
Forget the Man City debacle - if as many people are as interested as they make out to be and are already on the Rovers DB then there shouldn't be too much of a problem selling the tickets to genuine home fans. This game is totally different to the Man City game, in that there is interest for both parties in both games and is a sort of '1 off ' so any infiltration should probably be at a minimum, as long as Rovers fans get their arses in gear and get their tickets bought.
Considering all the commercial jargon coming from the club about attracting more people, and as Andy C says, you would have thought this would have been the ideal opportunity for the club to build upon, the club appear to have failed miserably on this account.
However, as what has already been said, even in the big games in the Premier we have not sold out even though we have given most or all of the Darwen end to the opposition, and a decsion needed to be taken . As I have said before, whatever the decision was there was always going to be a section of fans who are not happy.
Still think priority should have gone too the fans who made the effort to go to Sofia s/t holders or not, as they gave their commitment, even though the club didn't appear to be showing theirs.
As SteB rightly says though - how many will be going to the Southampton game - this is an away game also.
