Away support capacity

Recommended Posts

Noticed that a few teams playing at home have increased capacity for away support in cup matches...how would that work at Carra Rd

For FA Cup games the away side can claim up to 15% of capacity which could mean relocating season ticket holders in the Jarrold Stand and therefore virtually zero casual seats on sale for this game if Leicester take their full entitlement of  4,000 seats.

Would this reduce the need for wasted seats for segregation purposes?  As I mentioned on another thread this could help to attract the biggest crowd to an all seater Carrow Road.  Ironic that the all time ground record was also against Leicester in a 5th round FA cup tie back in 1963!

Sorry to be picky but it was 6th round (beat Newcastle 5-0 in 5th round) and we lost 2-0 in front of 43,894.

No you''re not sorry - it''s what you like doing best! Lol!  Thanks for pointing out my error anyway!  Am I getting carried away at a potential cup run to Wembley?

Season ticket holders get first shot at buying their seats for Cup games, then they get offered down the food chain.
