3000 minimum Premier League away allocation (3 Viewers)

[MusicDating]

In grounds that hold over 30000, you have to offer the away side a minimum of 3000 tickets. We currently offer 2127...

Assume we'll have to shift the segregation in the South Stand back (so some current ST holders would have to move?).

Anyone got the graphic of how many seats each block holds?

It would have to be something like this, probably with less segregation and sales in Block 5:

Afaik segregation can come out of the 3k so not sure we will need to move anyone. Why is it so low at the minute? Can easily fit 3k plus segregation in looking at that.

We currently offer the minimum requirement for the championship of 2000. Premier league would need 3000 so essentially revert back to the previous configuration. Unless of course they can work something with one of the corners

The previous config was more like 4.5k. That graphic above suggests the current setup can fit 3k in.

That mocked up seg on the drawing, is bigger than it is currently. I did that a while back when we were discussing reducing the away allocations.

Unfortunately, there isn't really a feasible comination of blocks and possible seg, that adds up to roughly 3000 without losing a fair few hundred home seats.

 

[shmmeee]

Oh wait. Is block 9 home fans right now?

This was the set up before we started sell the South stand and reduced the away allocations:

Yes but it eaten into by the seg barrier:

Technically yes but it only became 4500 in exceptional needs. We could extend the current allocation over by a block

Yeah my mistake. I thought 9 was away fans.

Away fans currently only have blocks 7 & 8, plus about 2/3 of block 6

[edgy]

I can't see a way to give 3000 without giving up Block 9, which will give far too many.

 

[Bertola]

Once again this shows that the set up is the wrong way round.... Away fans would fit in blocks 31-34 nicely and would put them with the sun in their eyes.

We're too far gone to change things now though without a lot of moaning

 

[edgy]

This would give 3400 odd with some seg in block 6. Problem then is the shared vomitory between 9 & 10. Unless they segged a few seats off in 9.

Either way we are again going to lose home seats again.

I was on the stadium tour last week. The guy taking us around mentioned that having your own fans behind both goals increased the amount you score by something like 11% on average. Given how difficult it is likely to be for us next reason, you wouldn’t want to give away any small advantage that you have. Perhaps need to look at moving away fans around the corner if that is possible.

How feasible is giving them blocks, 4,5,6,7 and 8. Would give them 3084??

The concourse to 4 & 5 is part of the West Stand. I'd say nigh on impossible.

Get rid of the segregation barrier for a start, I can't believe they havnt tried it as test for the remaining games

Just need to build another hill outside the ground. Jimmy's Hillock

True but would it be possible to not let them in West stand concourse and they use away south? The blocks are connected pitch side anyway.

I dont think H&S or whoever wouldnt allow that. In the event of evacuation, you'd have a couple of hundred people trying to cross other blocks to get out.

 

[SonofErnie]

There will probably be a solution no one has thought of and there will be a couple of months after our last home game to do the work, unless the planned Take That concerts get in the way

 

[alexccfc99]

My ST is in Block 10 - Am I likely to be shifted?

 

[Ricketts]

Make the seats narrower or do some safe standing. I’m sure Ryanair can help with the design.

 

[shmmeee]

Do the regulations say all 3k have to be able to see the pitch?

 

[Ccfcsj]

Does this have to happen on the 1st season back in the Premier League or do you get a 1st season grace period?

I wondered this but couldn't find anything documented

Yes immediately

Well regulations say they all have to be pitch level but that only applies to areas outside the North East....

Only if SAG agrees apparently. Maybe we can get ours to say away fans should be out in the conference centre with a video link?

Have always thought that. Away fans should be in the corner of the North and East stands with the sun in their eyes.
