In case any Wrexham fans coming on here grovelling for tickets haven't quite got the message...

Pretty sure The Shay or is it The New Shay has a much bigger capacity than Plainmoor.
If we're safe I'd still hope 2500 home fans would be there, if we're already relegated I'd hope 1800 turn up to hopefully see us beat Wrexham. If we need points from the last game, maybe we'd bring 5000 anyhow.
The club wouldn't give you the Popular side or the Family stand, this leaves the Bench and a lot of ST holders who won't want to move, myself included.
Also, and most importantly, I don't think the police would sanction such a large away following, regardless of how many turn up without tickets. I'd imagine, the clubs view won't change now regardless of our position come the final game. Of course financially it would make sense to have 6000 there, but that would alienate so many Torquay supporters, and they'll need every one next season.

Correct, it has a capacity of 10,401. I also believe that for most of the season one stand is closed down, so Halifax aren't being totally altruistic towards Wrexham by giving them 4,500 tickets since they can still accommodate their own fans and maintain segregation.
Wrexham are getting an away allocation in accordance with National League regulations at Plainmoor and if long standing supporters cannot get tickets because new plastic supporters that a problem between them and their club. It's not our problem so they should shut up about getting more tickets or moving the game.

You're right, if roles were reversed you would get 1200 tickets max.Cheddargull wrote: ↑03 Apr 2023, 21:15 Correct, it has a capacity of 10,401.

Our problem is that the club have failed to implement a loyalty scheme which is fit for purpose so 7200 ST holders want to come to Torquay despite many of them probably never having travelled away before.
The free for all for these ST holders means regular travelling fans have missed out, which isn't your problem but explains the desperation of some to get tickets.
We don't expect to be given more tickets, but selfishly we will be hoping your season is over before then which may make some available in the home end.
Finally, I saw one of your fans was nervous about taking their 7 year old for fear of trouble, despite what some may think, the vast majority of our fans will be well behaved and respectful, I hope everyone gets to enjoy the game.

Aging Wrexham fan here. A different slant on things. As one who has been to Torquay many times , especially on Tuesday nights as one of our relegation songs went, not everything is as black and white as some are making out.
I’m lucky and got tickets this morning for 3 generations of Wrexham fans. However many of my friends, some of whom haven’t missed a game home or away in the last decade missed out. Especially if we have something to play for such as promotion, missing the game will be heart breaking. Long way to go before that scenario comes into play but it might.
The Hollywood bandwagon has brought new support. Sadly our ticking system only understands have you got a season ticket and not have you seen x,y,,z away games over the last umpteen seasons.
Hopefully you will have a great run and be safe come our fixture resulting in limited home interest allowing for a greater away allocation.
Nothing to play for Halifax have allocated us about 4,500 tickets that have all been sold for Good Friday. ££££’s un the bank. Hopefully you’ll be able to do the same.
you have a 6 pointer against York coming up. They were a shadow of their early season team when we played them a couple of weeks back. You have every chance of beating them.
Hopefully we’ll play again in the football league in the not too distant future. We are all football fans so are, in the main, dreamers. We could never have dreamt our current fantasy. You may be next. Who knows.
Good luck and see you for a promotion and staying up party. Now that has a good ring to it. Hears hoping.

Hi all. Wrexham fan here that has missed one game all season and unfortunately missed out on tickets yesterday.
As you can probably imagine, after 15 long years in non league the thought of potentially missing our last ever game down here would be devastating.
I don't want to patronise you, you're a decent club with much more important things to worry about than accommodating a few more Wrexham fans. Some of the stuff from our side moaning about the allocation and asking you to move the fixture to Bristol City(!?) among other places was embarrassing.
To cut to the chase, me and a mate are willing to pay £150 each for a ticket anywhere in the stadium. We're not idiots and are perfectly capable of restraining ourselves if Wrexham were to score. We'd look like your run of the mill groundhoppers, not adding much to the atmosphere but not causing any bother.
If anyone is willing to sell tickets please private message me and we can sort the details.
Cheers

Thank you very much to those that private messaged me, I'm very grateful for your help.
Looking forward to a great weekend on the English Riviera to hopefully end our stint in non league purgatory.

I have nothing against fans wanting to see their team triumph but it isn’t our problem you can’t gain access through the correct channels.
I am sure you and most will be respectful but I can assure you some won’t and it will cause trouble.
Do the right thing Torquay fans

Not that respectful. Could thank them privately without publicising it on here.
