carpio 0 Posted January 21, 2004 can anyone tell me how many seats have been given to the opposition ? West Ham Ipswich e.t.c.?I know they can vary it but i have seen no figures Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James Long 0 Posted January 22, 2004 I remeber Neil Doncaster saying at the South Stand consultation meeting a year or so ago saying that the allocation for when the new stand for away fans can be 1,000, 2,000, 3,000 or for an FA Cup match 4,000 and very few seats will be lost in the segregation process or whatever allocation is taken. I personally reckon that they will both get 3,000 because West Ham obviously get a big following and for Derby''s the home team will usually offer the highest allocation which isn''t the FA cup allocation if both are different so I believe it''s around 3000.

DumbleDelia is Magic 0 Posted January 22, 2004 Good to know that few seats will be lost in the segregration process. It always annoyed me when there was a block free between Barclay and away support and between the other City fans in the south stand Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snake Pit Rebel 0 Posted January 22, 2004 I for one will be really annoyed if we give the scummers an allocation of 3,000 in a 24,000 capacity stadium when they could only give us 2,200 in there 30,000 capacity refuge site. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
a1canary 0 Posted January 22, 2004 Personally i don''t see why we had to get rid of the 280 seats along the pitchside. It''s worked well so far in terms of our home record!Fill the satdium with city fans and leave the scummers down there on the ground where they belong!

NorwichAreBack 0 Posted January 22, 2004 I heard that they were going to relocate the away fans to the lower N&P, I would prefer this asa)why should they have access to our brand new stand!!!b)the barclay is sacredc)cant have them surrounding Deliad)might make the N&P make some noise for once!what does everyone else think?!

Snake Pit Rebel 0 Posted January 22, 2004 I think that re-locating the away fans to the N&P stand would work well.Remember back to pre-season,the Spurs fans were in there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tim Jaggard 0 Posted January 22, 2004 From looking at the West Ham website, it appears that they''re only getting 2000 tickets... Added to the 18750 season ticket holders and 2500 tickets to members, that makes only 23250. So I guess there will still be some unused space between home and away fans.Personally, I think the atmosphere will be better with the away support back properly - and not having them near the Barclay wouldn''t be half as much fun...With south stand standard grade A prices at £25, we''ll pay for it in no time! ;-) This must be one of the highest prices in Division 1 (West Ham was the highest I''ve come across at £22). Funny that after giving money to the share offer I still would prefer to pay less! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
