Miss.A.F.C.Hornchurch Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 that's pretty sad of them to target a non league football club, were not a premiership football side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riverside Urchin Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Dreadful. My friend and I have been supporters for 20+ years I got one but he didn’t. He’s disabled and very upset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have been offered tickets by a tout you should report that post or person(s) privately to the club and the police so they can do something about it.

aka PeteBeatz Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 What is the ground capacity for this game? I’m shocked if we sold over 2000 tickets already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aka PeteBeatz Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 I’m fortunate that I got my ticket as soon as they became available, but once again the club have messed the allocations up as they did with the trophy final. Loyal supporters should have had priority, and they call themselves a family club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only it was that easy, the club didn't know they were in the final until late Wednesday and with the final the following Monday, it's almost impossible to keep everyone happy. cup of tea, UrchinYid and Urchin Queen 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aka PeteBeatz Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 At least the club should contact the league to find out if the game can be streamed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loyal supporters should have had priority, and they call themselves a family club. I wish that you could see the time and effort that the Club officials and volunteers have put into ensuring that as many of our regular fans could obtain tickets for the Trophy Final and both Play Off finals as possible. I disagree that the Trophy Final allocation was messed up, but that was largely in our control once the FA had allocated the number of tickets. I think the Club and Supporters Association did all they could to ensure regulars got tickets. With Monday's match there are many more factors in play. The League, opposition, ticketing system provider and turnaround time between qualifying and the game itself all need to be taken into consideration. Demand is always going to outstrip demand in these situations, but I can assure you the Club and Supporters Association are doing all they can for the loyal supporters. To suggest otherwise is wrong Urchin Queen, Miss.A.F.C.Hornchurch, cup of tea and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Tom Daley Posted April 28 Author Share Posted April 28 (edited) I've kept quiet but there is a couple of things that need to be explained as I'm quite frankly offended about the accusations that we not a family club. Firstly, due to incredible tight turnaround between games, it was impossible to produce match-coded tickets which could not be fraudently replicated. This is a different print process that a programme for instance as we would need at least 2-3 working days to sort this. Therefore we have utilised our online ticket office to carry out the sales. As it rare for us to go all ticket, we do not have any history of who has attended most matches this season as most people pay by cash/card. Therefore we cannot implement a 'loyalty points' scheme for the site. Due to technical limitations, we were unable to produce a code for each HFCSA member to enter the site in a priority window. However, this is something I will look into in the future to see if this can be made possible. In addition, we do not have the contact details of each SA member which would have also made it tricker. In regards about not announcing a notice of when they were due to go on sale. Last season we provided a time and date for the tickets to go live on the portal and we sold 500 tickets in the space of 2 minutes, which is frankly insane. Therefore we thought it would be better to not announce a time so there was not everyone queueing up and a higher chance of our regular fans getting tickets. The announcement time of 9pm last night was after a day of negotiations with Aveley and the league. We decided this would be a time which would not have heavy traffic online for non-regular supporters. We were very, very surprised at the speed of which these tickets sold. Last season, the initial batch of tickets (1000) was sold over 24 hours. This turned into more being sold this time around in 25 minutes. This season we also limited it to 4 tickets per address, whereas last season this was up to 12 in the initial sale. If you see any touts, please contact us on hfcsa@hornchurchfc.com or enquiries@hornchurchfc.com and we will investigate. If any tickets is being sold fraudently, we will look to cancel the tickets via the QR code system. The growth of the club in the past few years has been learning curve for all of us at the club and on the HFCSA committee. We are learning as we go and we admit we have made mistakes along the way. We will always strive to do better in the future but please do not shout out the volunteers. We are trying our best and not trying to upset people. There has been significant planning which has gone into Monday's match and we hope it will be a great day. In regards to streaming, we are speaking to the league and Aveley as you need approval from both. I can only apologise to any supporters who did not get a ticket. If you could contact me directly on hfcsa@hornchurchfc.com if you want to discuss further. Kind Regards, Jordan HFCSA Chairman.

Digits Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 All I ever see on social media when Hornchurch get a big game is people moaning , criticising, whinging. What I never see anytime as anyone saying thank you to all the helpers who:- give up hours and I mean hours of free time at times like this. It’s not uncommon at times to be early hours of the morning. After all they have day jobs every home game probably do not see half the game sometimes none of the game so people can enjoy the experience at Hornchurch. Most of them are there at 10am doing all sorts of things cleaning toilets, making players food , sweeping up rubbish the list goes on Its easy to stand back and criticise, but if they offered to help and see what they do I think these people would be less critical So from a Chin from afar who can’t be there I thank you all , and hope every fan enjoys the day, supports the team and the team goes up.

blackballed Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 (edited) Thank you Jordan, most of our regular supporters know how hard you and the rest of our volunteers work and how much of your free time is filled with this work. It's easy to sit back and criticise from an armchair. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 .....

JRinBelfast Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 None of us can truly appreciate what goes on behind the scenes at all levels on and off the pitch to make Hornchurch the amazing club it is. If we lived on the mainland we would be there week in, week out, home and away...but get over when we can and follow the match updates religiously, no matter where we are in the world. I had the foresight a long time ago to book a contingency weekend over to London that would include the May Day just in case and here we are...see you all on Monday!
