Why all ticket for tonight at Meadow Lane?


Recommended Posts

Tonight Truro City v Torquay United  I see is all ticket after dialogue with the Gloucester Constabulary.

With Meadow Lane capacity 4000  I wouldn't have thought that there was any crowd  trouble for a Monday night  travelling quite a distance to  a neutral ground.

Apparently on the advice of the Gloucestershire Constabulary. Same applies for the Yeovil match later in the week.

My guess is it will be for segregation purposes.

Having a ticket will give access to a specific area of the ground to avoid the potential for supporters mixing and associated risk of trouble that presents. 

It probably seems heavy handed as I can't imagine Truro have many fans at these games but I can also understand it with the large followings Yeovil and Torquay usually have, especially for "local" games, by their standards at least.
