    I agree, but we’ve been getting close the last couple of games. The number of non corporate empty seats, other than the segregation, has been in the hundreds. What happens if there is an unusually large walk up? Do they have the ability to open one of those closed blocks at the drop of a hat?

    Well that is exactly it. If someone did get hurt and it was because the club went against SAG advice then they would be potentially liable. If the club follow the advice, then they can never be in that situation However you have to remember that SAG advice will always be geared towards...

    That shows maximum home capacity (with current segregation) being 25,300. Corporate makes up 3,000 of that. Meaning maximum home capacity is 22,300 standard tickets. Current home average non corporate is about 21,500. Meaning we’re very close to selling out with current segregation. It...

    I was sat there wondering what they would do in that situation when I was at the Sunderland game. It was clear that they had saved block 27 for walk up, it must’ve been within 200 seats of selling out. If a couple of hundred extra had turned up, would they have refused them entry?

    This has been gone through before. The Safety Advisory Group is advice only. Clue is in the name. They have no power of enforcement. Only CCC can enforce safety regulations, and they can only do that when spectator safety has been compromised. We still just about live in a democracy. And...

    Non corporate home areas have been about 95% full over the last few games. Non corporate home capacity is only about 22,500. It needs to be increased.

    My understanding is this: The council issue the safety license which states that the ground is able to accommodate 32500 spectators. Along with this the club/ground have an obligation to ensure spectator safety is as safe as possible. So long as spectator safety is not compromised, the club...

    Its one block different than the Boro game. City fans are in block 10 in this picture

    That’s just a lie the safety boffins tell us. Against Gillingham in 2014 there seemed to be no issue with concourse segregation

    Same thing isn’t it? I mean if you were that bothered about being at every match you’d plan your holidays around it.

    It’ll be people on holiday. The effect is magnified this year because of so many season ticket holders
