Only Boro and Blackpool come close. Hull not far off.
Blackpool were fairly quiet at their place last season.

I think they could open up block 13, see how it goes if okay then block 12, I suspect the bar area might need looking at to keep fans apart. The maximum away section should be about 4000 too, don’t think we get that many anywhere.
I think there’s every chance our regular home support will go up, it’s about 17/18000 now so getting it up another 4000 is the challenge. As for the standing aspect don’t know how they can stop it, club has to talk the official line because it’s the law, safe standing will help should it come in

If we start regularly challenging in the top six you’d see 20k+ home fans I reckon.

We were in the safe standing at Cardiff and were told by their stewards "go where you like" no problems at all as far as I'm aware

Yes, but you were already in the safe standing area so you weren't adding to the numbers

The point is , those that didn't have safe standing ( it's split at cardiff) could've just stood in there with us and as it happens, even those in the seating area stood all game anyhow , no incidents

Been to quite a few away games where sit / stand where you like even though you have a number seat and row.

They open up Block 13. It's remarkable in a stadium with 10,000 empty seats that we are having overcrowding issues.

Of course the answer will be “well that’s because of the ridiculous safety measures obvs”
Coventry City is officially one of the safest clubs to watch football at
New figures released have analysed crime figures on match days across the UK

Have you ever been to Anfield? It is like a morgue a lot of the time. The Kops reputation is largely built on televised European nights.

We had safe standing and got turned away because it was full!

Yes I have on many occasions but not since November 2000. Stood on the Kop too before segregation.
Was never enamoured, in fact I was totally underwelmed by the place and I'm not impressed by the redevelopment on the occasions I've driven past in more recent times.
Massively overrated and inhabited by too many entitled supporters for me.

Needless to say…The wife as an Evertonian completely agrees!! Although Goodison soon gets on the players backs
Not saying the stewarding etc at the CBS is proportionate or a good use of money, but surely that would be a pretty reasonable argument, no?Interesting

The gap at the CBS is ridiculous, I know we had the Derby issue last season but it was a one off that could and should have been prevented early on. And turkeys like that pillock running on the pitch last week armed with two flares doesn’t help.
Last week it was a Celtic v Rangers cup final the gap between perhaps the two most bitter fans to each other in the world was about a row of half a dozen seats and a gangway.
today the gap between Liverpool & Man United will be less than that
Just my opinion we should have home supporters up to and including block 11 bit of a gap then away support about 3 to 4k.

I guess the issue is, if they can segregate fans without limiting the attendance, they will.
The real test will be when we need to sell out.
I sort of agree but the difference is that we have a stadium that is only two thirds full. So a big gap is possible at the CBS whereas it isn't at many stadiums.

The actual amount of incidents at the CBS could be counted on one hand and still have digits left over.
Security, stewards and policing is way over the top, and most of it handled badly.
Obserd at best, often sheer lunacy.

If you change your Simpsons reference from the rock to the anti-bear fighter jet then I agree with you!

Yeah the Huddersfield ground was packed to the rafters
I thought it was disgraceful. Shouting abuse at Robins and the players, they obviously begrudged paying for the one ticket they’ll buy this season. Most of them walked out at 3-0. Good, don’t come back

Atmosphere this season was brilliant towards the start but has been pretty average since then. Today was dire.
Stoke fans made good noise but their songbook needs a lot of work

Don't be fooled into thinking the extra 1000 fans in there today haven't been all season.
It always makes me laugh that people think when it's a *slightly* bigger crowd that people are there on their only game of the season.

It’s just the same 10k or so who pick and choose all choosing that game. Still changes the atmosphere though as they equal the ST holders, instead of being outnumbered 3-1.

I thought it was pretty loud to start with today but the early goal completely fucked it. I think people were really fired up for the game and to see it slip away so tamely got the bad reaction. I am not a fan of booing the team off, especially given the league position, but i can't say i was surprised given the importance of the game and level of performance.
Fucksake you read some shit and wind ups here but…..I’m pretty sure those that started to stream out ( not us ) were not able to be identified by loyalty points 
I’m gutted though tonight, I keep missing all the big victories. My last four games have been Stoke, Hull, Cardidff and Swansea. I think I better stay away
