So this message was posted at midnight and the Web page says '3 hours ago'. Am I missing something? Did the club issue this news after we scored the second goal.

And Wrexham won't get any allocation !

I wonder if we'll add extra seats in the away end like we did for Spurs ?
I'm sure the demand for away tickets will be bigger than Leeds , cos they don't take any away fans anywhere !!!!!

Course not most Leeds fans seem to live in Newport

A shame that the club is using the Leicester match as a pretext to artificially increase the gate for Saturday’s game against Franchise FC, a pariah club who don’t deserve to exist.

As far as I’m concerned, we don’t have a match against legitimate opposition on Saturday. I’ll be off to watch some local non-league instead.

Shame you can't support YOUR team against whatever the opposition is.

It's a poistive marketing initative that WILL bring money into the club - beggars can't be choosers!

I applaud the club for this action.

I support Newport against any legitimate opponents. But when Franchise FC stole another club’s league place, there was a consensus amongst football fans that the new outfit would be treated as a pariah club, separate from “normal” opponents. Many people seem to have forgotten; some of us won’t forget.

I’ll be back for the Crawley game (already looking forward to it after last night’s performance), but I’d never watch a match involving Franchise.

What about FGR on Boxing Day?

Eh?

FGR were formed in 1889. They stole their place in the Mid-Gloucestershire League from the incumbent Stroud Gas Mantle Fitters who subsequently rose from the ashes as AFC Haresfield Corgi Fitters ...

How many tickets are we obliged to 'offer' Leicester for our upcoming match?

15% of capacity (about 1300 based on current capacity of 8750 - not sure if we have to offer more if we get temp stands erected)

Agreed. Maybe extra seating with a temporary stand be placed on the Southern end as was the case v Spurs.

If AFC Wimbledon sell tickets for matches against them why would anyone else care?

Didn't Spurs waive their cut of the ticket money provided we installed more seats for their supporters?

Obviously i wrongly thought capacity was approx 7.500. Does 8750 include the North terrace?
