The club will announce home ticket info in the next few days, however tickets will be on sale at the Fylde game in some way or another - concern is obviously to keep Kiddy fans from turning up just to get their tickets for the boxing day game, so season ticket holders & known regulars should be able to pick up their tickets fairly easily. I might have to think up a couple of questions that only City fans will know as a test! Like I said, the proper details will come out in the next few days. Current operating capacity is 2,000, so we have 1,200 to sell out! I must be reading this wrong, sorry if that's the case, but - City fans who have a season ticket already have a ticket for the home game against Kiddy at Bromsgrove, it's their season ticket.

Now you need to answer questions about the club just to get hold of a ticket for a pretty irrelevant 6th tier non-league football match! The Supporters Trust are doing everything to maintain inclusivity in a community focused club, yet the football club are taking this kind of approach! Is it any wonder that those of us actively involved with the ST simply can't associate with the dealings of the club anymore?

I am a local resident in Bromsgrove who lives within walking distance of the ground. I support a league club but also attend the odd Worcester game with my wife and young son as it is so convenient for us.
Are you saying that we are not welcome to attend on Boxing Day?
I was under the seemingly misguided impression that putting a little money into non league football was a good idea however some of the posts on here are making me seriously consider whether it is the right thing to do to continue with this at least where Worcester City are concerned.
I will be attending the Fylde game and if it transpires that I am not permitted to purchase tickets for the Boxing Day game for my family I will never again spend another pound watching Worcester City. Instead I will find other local non league clubs who are more deserving of my families leisure spend.

Buying tickets at the Fylde game will not be the only option, but if you come over to the programme stall, we will sort you out!

Everyone hold your horses ! We havent announced anything just yet, yes tickets will be on sale at the Fylde game as this is the only game we have between now and Boxing Day unless we get through to the next round of FAT and get a home draw.
The fine details are not yet released but Season Ticket Holders can exchange a voucher for a Kidderminster Ticket (no further payment just a simple transfer), 10 Game ticket holders can also purchase a ticket on the day.
General Sale will hopefully happen during the Fylde game also but I cannot confirm this as of yet.
There wont be any online ticket sales (1) its hard to manage and then send out the tickets to everyone (2) we dont want any element of Kidderminster Supporters purchasing online and having tickets in the home end.
It is likely the TIC will be used in Worcester City Centre.
However, these fine details have not yet been confirmed and the above were the details discussed prior to the last 7 days. Please be patient, the announcement is being put together and then probably added to by me with car parking details, everything should be released in the next day or two.

WCFC is open to all, however it would be an odd decision to allow anyone to buy tickets 30 at a time to what will be a near/full capacity game. As for ''the ST simply can't associate with the dealings of the club'' - can I suggest that if this is the case, then Worcester City Football Club Supporters Ltd change their name to avoid confusion - or is this just a bee in your bonnet, Jem?

No reason to change the name of the Supporters Trust at all, Worcester City Football Club Supporters Ltd. is in no way associated with Worcester City Football Club Ltd. Two separate companies. I'm not sure what your point is.
Just what authority do you have to decide who can, and who will get tickets to a game? What exactly is a "known regular?" I'm known, but I'm not a regular. Alan Biggs is a regular, but you don't know him. If WCFC is open to all, why would it be necessary to ask questions to test supporters who wanted to obtain a ticket? Last time I looked, you had nothing to do with the club, other than watching a bit of football. Maybe it would be a better idea to cut the idle tittle-tattle until the club announce something officially, although I know you do like a good gossip.
I think there could be a problem with the idea of season ticket holders handing over a ticket out of there booklet in exchange for a voucher physically, prior to the game, after all, the ticket in their booklet already gives them legal entitlement from the club to attend the game, regardless of whether they attend against Fylde, or any other game.

Oakfield I'd seek out someone who knows what they are talking about, such as the Directors of the club, or the secretary, the incredibly helpful John Jordan. These guys putting info on here really don't know whats going on, aren't in any way involved with the club, and don't have the authority to give any kind of advice. I'd wait until the club gives out official information. I'd seriously hope that the football club never goes down the route of giving preferential treatment to so-called "known regulars" like thesecondjack has incorrectly suggested, or starts asking people questions about the club to test them.

Well one of our new supporters didn't see it that way, and to be honest, it was a bloody stupid thing to say, particularly as you don't know anything - as The Verner says, hold your horses! If you do know something, what do you mean by "known regulars" ? A little knowledge is a dangerous thing, particularly in the hands of a gossip monger. Believe me fella, you don't know how lucky you've been recently, just ask your little friend.

What should I be asking them about? I do not appreciate threats.

At the risk of sounding like I'm taking sides thatloudbloke, I don't know you but I do know Jem & have done for many years & he not only has he got the club in its future form at heart, does talk factually, sincerely & without what you appear to believe malice. Talking as you did (tongue in cheek or not) regarding ticket allocation on a site like this is complete stupidity & Jem is quite right in telling you so. I am a shareholder of WCFC & am as you may be aware boycotting home games because of what's going on. BUT if there was an option, (after season ticket holders) for shareholders to be allocated tickets before any other supporters for this particular match; I would buy some purely & simply to deprive the likes of you from being able to attend. Rant over !!

The fine details are not yet released but Season Ticket Holders can exchange a voucher for a Kidderminster Ticket (no further payment just a simple transfer), 10 Game ticket holders can also purchase a ticket on the day. Why? Season ticket holders already have their ticket. Voucher exchanges are for cup matches. I looked at my season ticket this morning, it says it allows me to see all home league games, so that's it - end of story. If season ticket holders don't do this voucher exchange thing, are you planning to bar them from seeing the game? Please, before the club announces or does anything silly, think about your plans for this game. You have to allow season ticket holders in. The bad publicity that would be caused if a couple of hundred season ticket holders turn up for the game as usual, but are prevented from coming in by security, well - I just don't want to think about it.

Exactly, when you buy a season ticket, both you and the vendor (the football club) enter into a contract, details of which are on the season ticket. Not all season ticket holders live in Worcester, not all season ticket holders go to all games ( 2 years ago I was a season ticket holder but didn't go to any games, but I purchased my entitlement to go to games in advance should I so wish) So a season ticket holder should have no obligation to attend the Fylde game (or any other game) simply to exchange their entitlement to go to the Boxing Day game for a voucher entitling them to do the same. Living in Uxbridge, I am not going to make a 200 mile round trip at my expense to get something I'm already entitled to! As Cloud rightly says, if a number of season ticket holders (some of whom might not get to many games, and might not read this message board or the website) turn up on Boxing Day with their valid season tickets to watch a game, are they going to be turned away? This is NOT a Cup game, the Ts & Cs of the season ticket apply.

With any 10 Games ticket holders,what happens if you don't make the Fylde game but want to go to the Kiddy game? It states in the book you have valid entry into ANY league game;cup ties,charity games are different.
If it's pouring with rain on that day you might find there will be a number of people who don't want to stand on open terracing to get soaked anyway.

"However, these fine details have not yet been confirmed and the above were the details discussed prior to the last 7 days. Please be patient, the announcement is being put together and then probably added to by me with car parking details, everything should be released in the next day or two."
And yes it might Rain, it might even snow and get called off !

Agreed, and it would be helpful if silly little kids, with no authority within the club, could refrain from posting misleading information on here and confusing potential supporters. Better get the news from official sources once its released than relying on a kid who sells the programmes and his dad! I'm sure the club have no intention of alienating season ticket holders by suggesting that their season ticket is invalid for certain games, that would be rather silly.
