If you buy them online you can use an interactive seat picker to choose an exact spot. A glance at the available tickets in each block (the extreme two blocks in either stand aren't currently for sale) will show how well it's selling.

Would imagine that most people will purchase tickets on the day.

Can tickets be bought on the day?

Yes, from the ticket office rather than the turnstiles. I'd suggest getting there early, though, it was known for the process to take longer than expected at times last season.

Is the West Stand the only area of the ground that's open?

Yes.

Unless pre sales improve, yes just West stand. SMC have to man up stewards/kiosk staff etc, so technically if they have only manned up for a 2500/3000 crowd (west stand) because of H&S regs that is all can enter, if 4/5000 or more turn up people could be potentially turned away so either book on line or get down & purchase your tickets to be sure to get in & support SOS

That Shirl is a potential disaster for the club. You are doing your level best to encourage people to go yet once that stand is full supporters will be turned away. What will happen if Sunday turns out to be a nice day and it encourages people to attend who haven't pre-bought tickets. Very short-sighted especially given the importance of the fixture. I can see it's a costing dilemma but in this case speculate to accumulate.

I would have also looked at the pricing structure for this one and gone with a couple of quid for kids and a tenner adult.

Agree with both your posts Alan, but we are not in charge .

Surely Salford set the admission fee.

But things are now a lot different to the Willows where you could just have the odd token yellow jacket knocking about and nobody ever questioned it. It's a privately owned stadium with stringent safety regs that cannot be breached - whilst those running it will, quite rightly as it's run on a profit basis, will not want to risk the extra charges incurred via G4S for opening extra stands if it's not a viable option.



And 12 notes is hardly breaking the bank.
