I don't think you get the idea. The idea is to make it less pleasurable.

I was at Vienna Airport once during Euro 2008 and saw a sex shop at the airport , they had a lot of those lol.

Pretty sure all grounds have cameras facing the dugouts. Don't see that will ever change tbh.

Loads don't tbf, from the top of my head, Stamford Bridge, Emirates, Etihad, St James park, Old Trafford, New Spurs stadium, London Stadium, St Andrews, The Den are all behind the dugouts

Spoke to 2 Leics fans yesterday and they said it’s by far the worst stadium to get away from for away fans. They felt scared when Cov idiots tried to get at them over the fence. They go every single away game and said ours is a completely different experience. I want the place to be intimidating but not quite in that way.

First time I went to an away game to the old Filbert St I wondered why there was netting between the away end and theirs. Then the sharpened coins started being thrown at us. I just don't get why people want to look to fight fans at games.

100% in a corner. Not behind a goal where they can wind a goalie up or put somebody off taking a penalty… that should be for us only to do haha

Don't think the demographics will allow for the corners, stick em behind one goal with the option to give them 4.5k. 3k or 2k, with increasing home demand we can have half of it

If our ground had been designed a bit differently, we could have stuck the away fans high like they do at Newcastle .

I wonder if the East stand would work going towards but not taking over singers corner. A fenced off walkway could be put in place making fans come under the railway line, and home fans use the other tunnel. It could be a coach drop off point and then the wasteland made to an away fan carpark. The direction from the garden of rememberence would be completely shut off for fans. That then means the fans don't meet and they don't have a spot behind the goals.

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

You can't stop fans mingling, every ground does, it's just so impractical to do it, the fence coming out of the railway tunnel needs moving further in as it's a bottle neck after the game

 

[robbiethemole]

Do like they do at Lesta, in the corner limited numbers, in our case under the police box and only up to block 9 Make a new wall in the concourse and block them in to that area, why make it a comfortable experience for away fans? Where else make us feel at home when we go away?

 

[Calista]

Where the family zone is as the sun is in your eyes most the time. 2500 max. No beer either, just water and bread.

And broccoli.

 

[Joy Division]

Serious question and probably one that Pete can put to the club at the next meeting , where is the best place to have away fans whilst giving more room for home fans ?

Like this, as has already proven to have been done

How many away fans there?

1600. I reckon if you put fans in those empty seats and had a small strip of segregation and stewards, it would be 2000. That's what most clubs give at this level.

3k is the minimum if you’re over 30k capacity I believe. Or 10% if not.

Middlesbrough?

In the Premier League, yes. In the Championship, clubs offer well below that. I'm not sure the exact minimum.

Birmingham, West Brom, Norwich, Ipswich, Sunderland, Swansea, Boro and Watford all give about 2000.

There is loads of space to install TV gantry locations up on the weird blank wall on the west stand. Would instantly free up a few hundred seats. Would look way better on highlights. Looks a bit depressing when the corporate lot stay inside eating sandwiches. Same issue Wembley has on TV

Pretty sure it's just void space behind there though, can it even support a gantry?

 

[TomRad85]

I'm gonna say it, never thought I'd say it, but here it is... if we get to the Prem, our ground isn't big enough. Support for this club is absolutely swelling.

In that case fuck em, 1.5k it is.

EFL rules apply for away ticket numbers

Is there a need for with the roof structure,actually looks like there is walkway under the roof at the Rh end plus there may be a structure behind, although you can't tell without exposing it but there'll be a column of some sorts there where the panel's are fixed I think may or may not be structural but with the right fixings,need a strural engineer,rich used to calculate roof trusses I think?

10% EFL, 15% FA Cup

 

[Cov_92]

10% EFL, 15% FA Cup

FA Cup 4875
Carabao + EFL 3200
UEFA 1600

 

[David O'Day]

how do other clubs get away with it? Leeds for example are not giving people 10% of elland road

 

[Alan Dugdales Moustache]

Put them in the north stand so they get the sun straight in their faces when the sun's out.

Maybe it's 10% of general sale excl. hospitality?

This suggests EFL is 2k;

 

[David O'Day]

leeds give you leeds than 10% even if you take into account hospitality, elland road holds like 37,000

Boro give people 2000 tickets and the riverside is over 30k capacity

I am just wondering how they do it if there are efl rules

 

[shmmeee]

Also apparently the SAG can override the minimum in the FA Cup. So we could just provide 3k max and say we can’t have more safely.

There are caveats to these figures, if a club makes representation to EFL etc, to reduce allocation for a particular fixture, possibly based on risk intelligence or for a specific period of time.

Which is what shmmeee quoted above, suggesting 2000 rather than your figure of 3200?

Based on ground capacity

 

[Cov_92]

Based on ground capacity

However, guidance from police, and other partners would always be a determining factor on agreed capacity.
