[SkyBlueMatt]

I've got 2 STs but I need 3, so if anyone isn't going I'd be grateful...

I won't be going so you could use mine but I have less than 300 points & don't think they'll be any left on 1st allocation. You're welcome to try though

 

[Kingokings204]

Can’t we take 4k if wanted?

Up to 4700

 

[WestEndAgro]

Let's fill it, our big away day.

 

[Chris1987]

Can't understand why we've been given such a relatively small number on the initial allocation .

 

[Frank Sidebottom]

Up to 4700

It's been capped to 3700.

Can't understand why we've been given such a relatively small number on the initial allocation .

Because we've only sold about 1000 for our last 2 away games.

Its since been capped even lower. Sunderland & Leicester both had 2800.

Strange number . After a bit of research apparently there is a total of 3600 accommodated in the top and bottom tiers

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

Thought they might of rebuilt that stand by now with all the bad history that goes with it.

They have a terrible owner who won't invest .b

 

[Frank Sidebottom]

Its since been capped even lower. Sunderland & Leicester both had 2800.

They both had initial allocations of around 2400 (which is the upper tier) and then requested the extras in the lower tier.
This was Leicesters allocation.

They have a terrible owner who won't invest .b

And they've been shite for about 25 years.

 

[SkyBlueMatt]

Both over Christmas, miles away and grounds that aren't appealing due to various factors.

These will go quick, I think initial allocation wont make it past the first day (like Leeds).

Amazing that a stand in which nearly 100 people died continues to be used, but we have whole swathes of our stadium closed because some chavs throw a few empty coke bottles.

The 20th of January is a Saturday not a Wednesday.

100% we're playing Wednesday

 

[rob9872]

Doh, I thought I was making the joke, missed yours

 

[Greggs]

Never shagged a bird from Sheffield so am anticipating the trip. Taking my Dad so am going to have to be stealthy. Anyone with local knowledge of the birds of Sheffield and which are easiest to catch, oops I mean talk to.

Last time I was in Sheffield I saw a pigeon with no feet.

Hope this helps.

Mmmmmm

Definitely a lot of Owls so you'll blend in

ITK

 

[Johhny Blue]

They’re warming up well today in prep for our visit. Keeper saved 2 pens in the first 10 mins

 

[Chris1987]

Very likely that we get extra allocation for this . Will tickets get to general sale ?

 

[Chris1987]

Concerned that this might not get to general sale. Fortunately I've managed to get a ticket for quite a few away games this season but living in Sheffield this one I really want to go to. If anyone could get me a ticket I would much appreciate it.

Chris I will try my best for you

Thank you again.

Well if they did it would have a smaller capacity than current.

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

Why would it, it depends how big it would be intened to be

 

[Chris1987]

Not exactly a big footprint to build on

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

Not exactly a big footprint to build on

OK I don't know the demographics

 

[oscillatewildly]

Why would it, it depends how big it would be intened to be

Exactly - Why knock a structure down based on 'feelings' and then build a bigger replacement when tor the past 30 years you couldn't fill the original one???

 

[cstring82]

Hopefully get my lad and mine tomorrow at 2pm, hopefully another away game we can go to. He’s loving it at the minute which I love and hates Villa!
