Out tomorrow. 850 seated behind the goal and 950 standing to the side. 6 per season ticket holder
Tiny ground though it is, that doesn't seem like 25% of the capacity to me. That's just the standard visiting support allocation, surely?
Or has the 25% thing always been a bit of a myth? Or indeed, did that 'rule' change a few years ago without me realising?!
Uh? It's a little known fact (or maybe not) that part of the rules of the FA cup (as administered by the FA themselves) are that the visiting team's supporters are entitled to 25% of the ground's allocation. I know this isn't always practical and it clearly wouldn't have to apply to some lower league clubs who have a very low following and also the police do have a substantial say in the matter, if not the final say.It’s minimum 5% for league games and up to 15% for cup games

I was just wondering if that rule had now changed because that given allocation does seem quite low even for their small stadium.
From the FA website, 15% for FA Cup games like I said, so 1850 tickets for us is close to the 15% of the grounds 12,300 capacity.
We won’t sell anything close to that anyway
Ah, so they have changed it from 25% to 15%. Thanks for editing your original reply - the end part didn't quite make sense.From the FA website, 15% for FA Cup games like I said, so 1850 tickets for us is close to the 15% of the grounds 12,300 capacity.
Oh, come on - have you not heard of the 'romance' and 'magic' of the cup?We won’t sell anything close to that anyway
Hoping to go with 5 othersOh, come on - have you not heard of the 'romance' and 'magic' of the cup?
Some people would describe that as an orgy. (very little 'romance' involved)Hoping to go with 5 others
I’m with you!Hopefully they’ll make general sale otherwise in the home end!!
No question there’s 6000 people who only do away games700+ on the first day. Certainly selling better than I thought it might. Would be good to take up the full allocation.
6000 people that state they are away games only. But I’d question how many of those that stated that at the start of the season a) have been many away games this season and b) even went games at all. Most away allocations this season have been taken up by season ticket holders with very few tickets making it to general saleNo question there’s 6000 people who only do away games
Just tried to buy mine but wasn’t able to. Have they sold out or am I missing something?
Got them! I was on the phone and they told me there weren’t any. Phoned them back and they sold me tickets for the terrace.Have you made sure that you’re selecting tickets in the terrace and not seated. The seated tickets are sold out
Meanwhile, there are around 80 terrace tickets left for Sunday’s Emirates FA Cup tie at Bristol Rovers (KO 2.01pm).
City have a full away allocation of 1,800 for the game at the Memorial Park and had sold just over 1,400 as of 10am today (Mon, Dec 30)
Confused- previously said all seats had been sold, only 80 terrace tickets left, yet have sold 1400 of 1800 tickets??
How can there be approx 400 left, yet they quote 80? Maths ???
How to make yourself look like a bit of a tit-they are now sold out.No question there’s 6000 people who only do away games
Why?How to make yourself look like a bit of a tit-they are now sold out.
Cheap dig and as usual trying to make a point.Why?
Not at all. Just pointing out that if there are 6000 only doing away games we should sell them out every week. Got my tickets really looking forward to itCheap dig and as usual trying to make a point.
Basically the away games only crowd are not going to away games as most of the allocation is taken up by ST holders. But there should be a mad scramble when they hit general sale by the absent 6000.Not at all. Just pointing out that if there are 6000 only doing away games we should sell them out every week. Got my tickets really looking forward to it
