In a surprising move, the club issued special vouchers to the hardy group of season ticket holders who began queuing shortly after 1pm on Thursday afternoon for the chance to purchase guest tickets tomorrow, allowing them to return to the ground tomorrow without having to endure an overnight stay in the club's car park.
However, due the lengthening queue, police were called in to control the crowd after it became apparent that these vouchers would not satisfy the obvious demand.
With two vouchers issued to each person, the remaining allocation - thought to be around 500 tickets was snapped up, leaving many disappointed.
