It's very naive to think the regular 12.30 kick offs won't impact on away followings across the board this season. For many an away day is as much about the day out as it is the game itself. We're seeing signs of that already. Add the cost to this and the fact we took 2.5K there a few days ago...

One thing they will rethink I imagine is the outdoor smoking areas. Home and away fans just a few feet away from each other. Was a bit interesting shall we say.

Are we saying a steward should make the determination on whether someone is over 14 based on how they look? It also appears the benchmark last night was 16. The parents have purchased a ST for their son, that's their decision, verified their age with a birth certificate and there are no...

It's how you police this though, because it seems to be on the whim of a steward. My lad is 15 and was denied entry. Luckily I was a few minutes behind him so he could wait, but often it will be the other way around. He's 16 in a few weeks and won't look any older. Seems to be a recipe for...

Cheers Pete. Difficult one to police, my lads mate is 15 but looks a bit younger. We certainly don't want to discourage groups of school pals going to games together.

Haven't checked but I'd have thought a policy of 100+ years would continue and if not they would make it very clear with an announcement. I started to go on my own at HR from the age of 13. Loads of youngsters 14-16 go up together. If they are going to be denied entry it needs to be made clear...

So the one area when you'd think they would check was fine. I am guessing there was some miscommunication with stewards, because it can't be policy.

One issue last night that surprised me, they were not letting Under 16s into the game without an adult, anywhere in the ground. My lads mate from school (15 and with his first ever season ticket) was denied entry at multiple tunstiles but eventually got it when steward was distracted. I heard...

Yep, glad I moved from the corner after being unsure (view is notably better). Bodies everywhere at the end.

It is a bigger allocation for the league game tbf.

1 shot on target in 2 hrs 15 minutes is a worry. Early days I know before I get jumped on.

Pretty pointless trying to judge ST sales now that match day tickets are available. Anyone buys a ticket for any game this season and that seat becomes unavailable for ST sales.

The stats on this are quite surprising. In the history of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th tier (post war), no team that has lost the first three games has ever finished in the top 2. There are only 6 examples in history of a team who lost the first 2 games finishing in the top 2. Of course, we haven't lost...

I agree with the general sentiment about it feeling like home now, but it's looking very tired in parts following years of neglect under previous owners. If it is to grow as a major leisure and conference venue, it needs further investment and a lot of it. The area around it is very scruffy and...

I may have missed it, but no reference to ticket prices in the family zone made available through the ticket exchange? I can't imagine they will be at full price? Perhaps they'll announce that later. Wasn't a fan of this structure last season and view hasn't changed, especially as we're really...

Ah, had completely forgotten about that

Was 2700 I recall

It's a big fan base, lots of midlands based supporters and it's a ground they've never played at, so not surprising. I'll go, and I went to Stevenage, but do so knowing the game will be a complete non event and atmosphere flat. Can totally understand people giving friendlies a swerve.

3000 will be standard away allocation this season I believe.

Also just noticed Everton have sold their 3K allocation so should be decent gate
