post in here after youve sent an email to lancashirepolice@lancashire.pnn.police.uk with this email obviously dont forget to put your name at the bottom I'm writing to put forward my absolute disgust at your decision to block the full ticket allocation for Stoke City's Premier League game away at Blackburn Rovers on 20th December 2008. I like others, are outraged at the fact that we have had our potential allocation slashed by more than 2000, particularly when other teams, with a statistically proven higher rate of football related violence this season, were granted the full allocation. E.g. Sunderland. While I am not trying to imply that our fans do not have a reputation for misbehaving on our travels, (albeit a reputation) I find it completely unfair, if not discriminatory, that Stoke fans are singled out for this disgraceful treatment. This ridiculous decision can only lead to more problems for your police force. Evidently, the individual, or group that decided to make this decision did not think about the hundreds of infuriated Stoke fans that will inevitably swamp the usually derelict Blackburn home end because of the ticket fiasco that you have caused. Surely it would be easier to police all of the Stoke fans in one stand, than 4700 in one stand, and hundreds more dotted around the stadium. Another point I would like to add, is the fact that the Stoke chairman has offered to pay for any Stoke fan traveling on OFFICIAL COACHES, meaning more than 80% of the traveling fans will be escorted to and from the stadium on match day, leaving minimal chance for trouble. Now of course, due to your police force’s ineptness to organize things rationally, many more fans will be traveling unmonitored, leaving any possibility of potential violence open. The least you could have done is given fans a warning when tickets initially went on sale to give people with financial difficulties the chance to get money together for the trip early to save disappointment. Like myself, I was waiting until Friday (12th December) the day I get paid, to buy the tickets as I had full confidence we would be given the entire allocation. Also, loyal season ticket holders were aware of the large possible allocation so held back purchasing a ticket waiting for them to go on general sale this Monday, to allow friends who were not season ticket holders to come along and experience a great day. To conclude, you have been discriminative, for no apparent reason towards Stoke fans, claiming that they have the potential to cause trouble than any other club so far this season, with no evidence to back up this ludicrous instinct; you have unleashed the potential for many hundreds of Stoke supporters to sit in the home ends at the game, causing more trouble for yourselves; and you have denied honest supporters the chance to be SAFELY GUIDED TO AND FROM the game with an escort, instead deciding to deny this people a ticket, which will cause more problems. I implore you to respond to this e-mail giving the reasons why you made this decision and any evidence as to why you think we would be more troublesome than other clubs with a proven record to be more so than us. Yours Sincerely Stoke City FC lifelong fan and season ticket holder. to see how many we sent out
