Looks like staying as a 3pm kick off as it?s not been selected for TV.

Aside from Bromley v Walsall as the Thursday night offering they?ve gone for Crewe v Donny and Swindon v Cheltenham for the 12:30pm Saturday games.

[Westbars Spireite]

Good. These 12.30 ones are a pain and I'd cheerfully see them scrapped. Viewing figures will be pitiful, especially 'legitimate' ones.

Until the old bill get involved...

County seem to think we have a rivalry with them too, hope they give us the whole stand like they usually do, if we only get a 1000 tickets it's gunna be a lottery to get a ticket

They have to give us more than that. I wouldn't expect many more than 2000 though.

Been to County at 3pm plenty of times in the past, cant see it being an issue to be honest.

I can only recall it not being once, and that was the last one for TV.

Yep will be around 2000 like they?ve done for everyone else over the last season or so.

Mansfield took 3880 there last season but since then a combination of issues with the stand and a desire to limit away numbers (not that there have been too many occasions it's been an issue or demand exceedingly supply) has seemingly put a stop to the whole (or at least rear 3/4) being used for now.

[WEareSAILING]

We will get 2000 maximum, Notts were not happy at all with the allocation we gave them earlier this season.

Seems to becoming all the rage these days, limiting away attendances. Money must be growing on trees in the lower divisions.

They got all we had to give them and the game was sold out so they have zero grounds for complaint.

I don't think it's all that prevalent. I think it's complicated at Notts by a requirement for Notts County to cover the cost of closing down County Road when the number of tickets sold in that stand exceeds a certain number. I guess they run the risk of being out of pocket unless they sell x number in excess of amount they're currently offering. Add in extra staffing costs, the perceived edge it gives away sides and you can understand why they do it.

Donny brought 10 and Port Vale 17 more than they did, so did they even sell out?

That sounds like a cock and bull story

They have to give us 10% so should be a shade over 2000 depending on what their safety cert says nowadays.

We have an away section.

It's in the East Stand.

Properly segregated as it's designed to be.

It only seats a limited number.

That's because we can pretty much fill the rest of the stadium with our own.

If some fans think their club's too special for that to apply, it's just ignorant arrogance.

And if they wanna be petty by refusing to open sections they couldn't sell anyway, it's them who suffer...

They make it up as they go along. Did it for PV, gave them under 2000 and them mystereiously found an extra 300 or so. Safety certificate my ass

I think we struggle to get a 1000 in the East Stand most games especially since results have tailed off.

I assume you mean North?

The home section of the east stand is much bigger than 1,000 and it?s generally sold out most games now.

[LondonBlue]

We will get between 2 and 3000 depending on what they want to give, won?t make general sale regardless so doesn?t affect me.
