If they can't open the Tilton far end because of the turnstiles, why can't they open the corner towards the away end of the Kop?

Because we need to have the biggest segregation in England

This isn't segregation. This is a new demilitarized zone

You’re NEVER on your own if you support the Sky Blues - you’ll be surrounded by friends - it’s just that you won’t know their names.

And you would be right. I cannot believe they have allowed 7 blocks for segregation.

Cant remember this happening before. Even for the shit we don’t leave blocks empty. Weird decision and 100% nailed on a WMP decision.

It was the decision of the safety officer at CCFC apparently, not WMP.

Both clubs are trying to portray it as a game with no
animosity so begs the question why the ridiculous segregation which doesn’t even happen in a Blues Villa game

Yep the turnstiles thing is a red herring. When we go to Villa Park you end up queueing right by the home fans there's very little segregation by the actual turnstiles.

So we’ve never segregated by block before but a CCFC safety officer who’s probably never been to a big game at St Andrews knows best? Prick needs sacking if that’s the case. Hate this type of know all twat.

Always been the same.

She (I believe) always ran it poorly at the Ricoh. The Sunderland farce last season was a prime example of the poor policing and safety at CCFC games. We play Forest Green at home and they block off the exit by the away end, but play Sunderland and have it opened up with no police.

The Sunderland game seemed like a set up to get a few troublemakers identified and nicked. They knew the game was talked about for weeks and there was going to be trouble

There must have been some input from Blues surely? You wonder what the clubs have said about this privately, they must have lodged a objection because this is potentially around 120K in lost gate receipts.

Yep. Wouldn't be surprised.

Lowest category policing for a game with 5000 away fans is unheard of.

Remarkable how the trouble was going on for 25 minutes and no back up officers turned up. Those that did were just filming it.

Its a he, Paul Cook. Ask any of the stewards at the Ricoh about him and you won't hear many positive things! Some people tried pointing out issues, politely I should add, to him on twitter but his attitude was very much he knows better than everyone else despite the issues being obvious to any football supporter.

Would doubt he's got anything to do with it at St Andrews though as he's employed by the stadium. The SAG was run by the council with input from ACL and relevant services.

That's what I would have thought, the SAG is linked to the venue, not the club. Could be wrong I suppose.

Of course it is. As much as we have a few dicks (like any club), it's all set up to get a few arrests, a few fines etc.

Tbf, I was impressed with Shrewsbury away. 2 officers every 20 metres or so from the ground back to the pub.

Not an intimidating mob of riot police goading people.

There are going to be a few pissed of fans if they have been waiting for all the seats behind the goal to get released.

Same here Essex. Usually it's with my lad but had quite a few friends and family messing us about...shall we shaln't we etc. Cut a long story short, they all now can't make it and where we could have had half a dozen of us behind the goal, now it'll probably me be grabbing a single ST seat tomorrow. Won't bother waiting for them in the 5th round lol.

Yep, done that myself a few times. Everyone dropped out for Peterborough away the night before earlier in the season so just went on my own. Had a great day

First time I can ever remember a rearranged league game due to a cup game taking place before the actual cup game.

Pretty sure that ain’t happened to Blues before.

I was told that all the next round games are all night games too.

Think there'll only be about 400 up there for that. Will definitely be lowest of the season. Quite like Boro nowadays some cracking micro-pubs but was a terrible away day experience for years up until recently.

With the game Saturday I still think they might be a way to get more tickets for both clubs if they show willing. Police will be fine with it from what I just heard on Tilton Talk Show. How about Cov get blocks 38,39,40 additionally in Kop and Blues get Tilton blocks 1,2,3?

I'd second that. An idiot's guide to getting set up with VPN/iFollow would be very useful.
