THE CONCRETE ROUNDABOUT (TCR)

Notts County had a few in the lower tier. Other than that, I don't think anyone has

Quite frankly. If it's barrow , Crewe or Crawley. they'd be lucky to sell 800 tickets let alone 2\3k

Barrow bringing 800 on a Thursday or a Friday would be a very good turnout, would we take 800 there on a Friday even in the playoffs?

Personally, I'm of the belief that its unfair to deny fans the chance to see their team if the only reason we're not opening it up is for any slight 'sporting advantage.' If we, for example, played Swindon in the playoffs and, let's just say, wanted to take 2,000... but they gave us the usual spot in the corner of the Arkell's stand and didn't give us the uncovered end behind the goal too, knowing we'd sell it, and just left it empty because they wanted an advantage we'd be fuming.

I get why it annoys people that we aren't capping it but it doesn't annoy me. If we're concerned because they'll make more noise, ask yourself whether you make noise when you go to games. Do you sing, chant etc? No? Well, contribute to the atmosphere so they dont outsing us, then it shouldn't bother you how many there are of them because we're doing g our bit to liven things.

Honestly, I wouldn't. You should do all you can to maintain home advantage. The only benefit to open up more than you need to is financial. You can only ever put yourself at a disadvantage on the field.

Swindon legally have to provide 1,572 away tickets. Have they ever given out more than they need to? Not from what I can see.

This

We’re in the play offs, that’s a huge positive, much better than being lower mid table, going nowhere fast under a dreadful GA regime.

Yes, it’s fucking gutting to fall short again at an auto spot, but it’s not over, we still have a cracking chance at going up

They usually open up the stand behind the goal as well as the 800 (possibly more, speculating based on our attendances there) in the Arkell's stand should they have a big enough away following. And that's my point if they only sold us 800 and didn't give us the other one to sell too, it'd be annoying. You might be exclusively in the "doesn't bother me" camp but those who couldn't get a ticket would be fuming and rightly so.

Dilemma ……do I build a positive vibe for the playoffs and risk getting another kick in the bollocks as we fail to reach Wembley…..it’s a conundrum that’s for sure.

Yes, but they HAVE to open up the other stand. They are legally obliged to provide 10% of total capacity to away fans.

Not many clubs, if any at all (bar us) extend that to beyond 10%.

“Each Club must make provision for at least 2,000 visiting supporters at every home match or such number as represents 10% of the Club's certified capacity, if less than 2,000”

I do get your point. Many empty seats if we stick to the 2k requirement but I also think we need to prioritise results on the pitch. I’m fairly certain we have a pretty terrible record at home to teams we sell large away allocations to.

And what if we want to take more than 2000?
