Statement responding to 'social media storm' "Regarding Wrexham DSA & Viewing Platform" (Sunday) - Page 18 - RedPassion.co.uk

Club statement: 'Unfortunately we were unable to facilitate this request on this occasion as rules of the competition do not allow for complimentary tickets to be given away, apart from those stipulated by the competition.'

Competition rules: 'Except in the case of a Match which is played on a Neutral Ground and subject to the Away Club having an entitlement to claim admissions up to 20% of the permitted spectator capacity of the Home Club to accommodate its supporters, there is no restriction on the number of members, season ticket holders and complimentary ticket holders who may be admitted by the Home Club.'

Club statement: 'Unfortunately, Wrexham AFC were further unable to facilitate this request due to the tunnel area being restricted from 2pm onwards on matchday. This operation is standard practice at all of our home games.'

My question: Why does this rule not apply to match day sponsor guests who are photographed on the pitch prior to kick-off?

While that statesbthe club were permitted to award comp tickets i dont think the club said it wouldnt because of competition rules did they? Additionally the DSA would have happily bought tickets. It was the bit about not being able to be on the pitch due to competition rules wasnt it? Be interesting to see which rule would have been infracted upon.

Post you're quoting shows that that's the reason the e-mail from the club gave.

Can't see anything in there.

But I can’t see this either.

Leftfoot, are you sure these rules apply to this competition? I googled a quote but could only find a link to rules for the Scottish Cup.

Discounting the sponsor, this is the Scottish Challenge Cup competition.
