Season tickets available from Thursday
DISGRUNTLED Cherries fans look set to receive their season tickets in time for Saturday's League Two opener after the club confirmed the cards would be available for collection from Thursday evening.
A number of supporters had been in contact with the Daily Echo in recent days to complain about the hold-up, but the delay now appears to have been sorted out.
When asked by the Echo for an update on the situation, a club spokesperson revealed they were in possession of the cards and that the printing process had begun, with a view to ticket holders being able to pick up their cards between 5 and 8pm on Thursday and from 9am on Saturday.

He has got a point. Although the game certainly goes ahead, the fact we are waiting on our points decision because some fa guy is on holiday is a joke...

I wouldn't believe everything you read in the Echo.
This is NOT what the ticket office were saying just two hours ago. Saturday was looking unlikely then so perhaps some miracle has been performed in the meantime.

Bigun - FTC is right - the league has not yet agreed to give us (or Rotherham) our shares back.
If we do not meet their conditions and satisfy them we can complete the season financially then it could still just be a 22 team league.
Hopefully that will not be an issue but is still a possibility until the league says otherwise - and they have not yet done so.

That, in our case, would mean Mr. Krasner (not Mostyn) demonstrating that funds are in place and the legal framework is present to run the entire season in administration. As we can only legally be in administration for 12 months, that is not going to be the case.

Bigun - As at 2:30 this afternoon, Saturday was looking unlikely for Season Tickets to be ready. I have no idea how likely it is that we will be playing football.

There is nothing on the Cherries website regarding season tickets. I thought the new Chief Executive was supposed to be customer and commercially aware. To take the fans money and then not issue the tickets is a total disgrace. The shambles continues.

Having read the Football League website re Luton and Rotherham, I can only assume our match will not take place this Saturday, unless the FL give the green light before 3pm Saturday

Whilst there is still a possibility of the league not returning the share then maybe GK/AFCB realise that issuing season tickets for a season that may still not happen (however small a chance) is not a good idea. Hence nothing before Thursday by which time the league should have said yes or no.

We should remember that the FL is under tremendous pressure (particularly from HM Revenue and Customs) to make an example of some poor team. HMRC are determined to see at least one team go out of business, as an example to the rest. Luton have been able to prove funding for next season, so all they could do was dock the maximum points from them - 30 in total being more than draconian.
Presumably, the destabilising tactics over the golden share are all part of the process of seeing whether we could be the target, as they seem to have moved the goalposts several times over criteria for safaty (or at least kept quiet about what we need to do to satisfy them). I feel Rotherham are in a more tenuous position than us, as they cannot even play in the town, but the risk is very much still there.
I simply cannot understand the mentality of a system which sees us teetering on the edge of existence over a sum of money equivalent to less than many Premiership players will earn in a season. The FL would do well to spend more effort in trying to redress this balance between the top few and the rest, rather than kick teams who are already down. I know it is not exactly within the FLs hands, the Premiership being a separate entity, but surely they could try!
