I was one of the fans behind the goal that night, it is split, there is built in segregation in the concourse.

I wonder if the have ever considered that they could be in danger of having home fans in the away area if POTG for a high demand game.

Social distancing block would be scrapped today if they needed to, it's was always pretty pointless. A bigger than expected walk-up and they'd have to. No way they would shut people out and leave a block mostly empty (you'd think).

Never really understood it to be honest. If you’re that vulnerable you shouldn’t be going to a football match. As you’re just as likely to catch something in the concourse

To be honest I bought a ST there (more for relative's vulnerability than anything else) Both have since passed away, so don't need to do it, and I usually move across to sit with some mates. Will have to move back there today, as the usual 'spare' seats will have been sold.

NS will be effectively sold out in next 2 hours, so will only be POTG blocks left (excluding the SD block). I think pretty much every available seat will be sold today. That said I'm sure there will be empty seats in the main stand as usual, not sure why this happens, ST holders not turning up will explain a few but the club must be holding seats back in there.

The players guest tickets are in block 1 and 2 I believe.

Unlikely. The vast majority will have been to a few games this season.

it was a bit tongue in cheek tbf, I'd love to see the North stand full again like when we first moved in, it was a great atmosphere in there.

The club needs those daytrippers ..they need them to stay.

In the same way we've added 12000 on from some league 2 matches .. they stayed

The Corporate areas will always have empty seats. They are sold on Lounge and Dining capacity which is always less than the actual number of seats.

It won’t need much walk up to be “full”.

About 1700 in the 2 corner blocks .. and about 1000 in block 31 left to sell

Looks to be about 22/22500 home tickets sold so far

Attendance currently sitting between 23/24000 imo before any walk up or new sales

If this was the blues game Attendance would already be at 27000 or so

In 24 against Derby last season I remember pay on the day next to us was pretty full and crowd was still under 24k.

I can never work it out really, just hope the team turn up

You’d think that pay on the gate would suffer abit today with it being a big crowd, most will pre buy surely?

Just walked past the away end and I think the idea of splitting the end would be easy with the addition of a permanent fence splitting fans like at other grounds. There are separate turnstiles spread out.

What's also barmy is that the 'new' Wasps shop that opened by the away end for the grand total of about 5 days is still fully stocked!

You never know what lengths those day trippers took to make it there.

I was there for the Bournemouth match last season. My first ever in person. Just timed out well that it was the best-attended match of the year.

Just been in Leics city centre and having to listen to the old joke …. Oh you're the other Cov fan. Pissed themselves when I said we we’re heading for a sell out. I’ve never wanted a Wolves win more than I do today!!! Wankers…

How does that work for people who have bought tickets there thinking it will be distanced, or has that block not been on sale at all for this game?
