You mean we give 4k away tickets or that's the amount of seats we give up with away tickets and covered up seats combined?
You mean we give 4k away tickets or that's the amount of seats we give up with away tickets and covered up seats combined?That’s still only three blocks. What’s our capacity at the moment? Must be well over 4k

Sorry just to be clear and yes i am being thick, by people you mean away fans right? I was under the impression it was less than that. Charlton have sold out 2k and we've given them something like 200 moreI mean how many tickets to we offer if people want them?
Yeah sorry it’s probably me cos this is the second convo today I’ve had where I’m not making sense. Yeah how many tickets you we offer away clubs. Theground plan makes it look like there’s loads more thereSorry just to be clear and yes i am being thick, by people you mean away fans right? I was under the impression it was less than that.

Thats the problem, i think a lot is just netted off rather than sold. The ground should just have small strips, like dedicated standing areas for stewards/police either side of an away end of approx 3k, there are probably better examples than the below as there is still a small netted area here for some reason, but something like this, making full use of all seats...Yeah sorry it’s probably me cos this is the second convo today I’ve had where I’m not making sense.

id still like to know why at Wembley you can have just a line of seats between fan and we need fences and half a block
To be fair, Wembley have half a block of segregation netted off. Often they have a line of stewards too.
I think lower tier the segregation is quite small but upper tier is like a whole block on both sides of the stadium. Game was a sellout but attendance was 85,711 out of 90K.It didn’t feel like that when I was there for the POs I think it was. I’m sure it’s was only a few seats.
I don't have a pic but Huddersfield is a good example of sensible segregation.Another example...

Tbf its the kind of thing @Sky Blue Pete could ask about when asking about general stadium improvements. But it makes a lot of sense to me.

When they calaculate the 10% what is actually taken into consideration.It's not an easy puzzle to solve when it comes to the 10% or 3K away allocation for the PL.

Blocks 6,7,8 & 9 would give too many. 3700.
Blocks 6,7 & 8 alone, not enough.
So either the segregation remains the same as it it currently with maybe allowance to sell all tickets upto the barrier.
Or, something done allowing block 5 to be added to the away allocation along with 6, 7 & 8 (2893 tickets) and a dispensation from the rules to say that's the best we can offer. That solution would further squeeze away fans into the corner and give the full block 9 to home fans.
Isn't the rule that the away club have to pay for the tickets not sold if they take the full allocation? Or have I made that up? It would be funny if the West Brom 'boycott' ended up costing their own club.Brum were given 2,744. West Brom 2,815.
I've no idea how many the others were given, but so far only Brum have sold their allocation.
I saw on twitter the other day that Boro have only been allocated 2.5k at Charlton and it's caused some uproar as their away can hold well over 3. I wonder if the club have got wind we may get the same for NYD so are limiting their allocation ?
In the Prem you have to give away fans 10% of stadium capacity, up to a maximum of 3000 seats.
Looking like it might be lowest crowd of the season Saturday. They've sold 1200 and our sales not moving. Pity.
Yet people are trying to conjure up ways to squeeze more home fans in!

There will be plenty boycotting. They were always more vocal than Birmingham fans were.
I don't know about that rule. I'd imagine that you could charge them for the expense of the tickets, but no more than that.Isn't the rule that the away club have to pay for the tickets not sold if they take the full allocation? Or have I made that up? It would be funny if the West Brom 'boycott' ended up costing their own club.
And if not, why do some clubs (eg Charlton) get a lower allocation? Why not just give everyone 2.8K?
Confused from Weymouth...
They are more vocal, but if they were doing better they would sell out. Its easy to be principled about not attending when your shit!
I think Charlton requested more tickets,this will be a bumper gate you'd have to thinkWhich will continue unfortunately. Albion sales are poor, Bristol City won't bring many for a Cat A in December, and there will be very few Swansea fans. Expect Charlton to bring a load though.
If it was £32 you could begin talking about building another 10,000 seater second tier.
It’s too expensive but those same fans would think nothing of spending £50 on a night out
There's petrol, coach fare, parking and beer and food on top of the ticket.It’s too expensive but those same fans would think nothing of spending £50 on a night out
