I'm surprised by how quick block 10 has sold. I thought by now the rate at which they were being sold would have slowed down, but if anything its speeding up.
I can give them a solution right now. Re-issue all Crewe tickets as unreserved seating, shove them into blocks 6 & 7, get ACL to ring a roller door installer and put a divide in under blocks 7 & 8. Problem solved.

In terms of the game your right that the rest of the ground will be making the atmosphere. However it would have been nice to break Southamptons record attendance. Also it raises serious questions about the location of away fans. If the away area is so inflexible then it needs to be moved.
As it stands the areas on this picture between the yellow lines are for Crewe. Theres no way they will fill that and unless we fill some of it then it will be a 28k max crowd.
Doesn't necessarily mean half of block 10 is for segregation, could be that the other half is allocated to Crewe.
The Stairwell on the other side of block 10 will be for the Crewe fans only, and there are safety rules as to how far you can be from a stairwell.
Longfud or Long-ford?
Until a few years ago I only ever heard it pronounced Longfud, now I keep heaing it pronounced Long-ford in King Henry VIII educated accents.
In fairness, in the final years at HR we had a stands named after a local tyre fitters, a brewery, a house building company, and a local drill company.
