Subject to safety considerations though.

The Football Association has outlined the process for deciding away ticket allocations at FA Cup with Budweiser ties.

A spokesman for the competition said: "FA Cup rules allow for an away allocation of up to 15% of the home stadium.

"However this is subject to the local Safety Advisory Group (SAG) agreeing to that ticket allocation number.”

As ever, the Key element is “up to”.

There isn’t a club in the land that doesn’t make provision for 15%.

It’s 15% unless there is a reason to restrict it (not wanting to move season ticket holders would not be a valid reason)

Saw a charity game down there day after we beat Wolves 3-1 at HR 1976 (Alan Green hat trick)
Sky Blues 11 v Tiswas 11.
It doesn't get more serious than that.

I heard that instead of Singers corner it had Compost corner.

Depends on how SAG would view the segregation arrangements inside and outside the ground given the new home arrangements behind the goal.

I don’t think Luton provide 15% - so there is at least one club in the land that doesn’t.

Being pedantic, at the other end of the scale

”Prior to the semi-final and final, which are played at Wembley, visiting clubs are allowed up to 15 per cent of all tickets for the stadium they are playing at.

That is unless 15 per cent of the stadium exceeds 9,000. So clubs travelling to Old Trafford, the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the London Stadium and the Emirates Stadium will have their allocations capped at 9,000, unless the home clubs are willing to offer more.”

Being realistic, I’m sure Doug would like to see the ground full if one of the big 4 or Villa came to play. I would imaging there would be some negative reaction however if people have been turfed out of their safe standing behind the goal, forced to sit somewhere else and their ST places end up being empty.

Has to be the first time in decades we've had 4 attendances over 30k in a season (3 in the league + Ipswich in the cup) and you wouldn't bet against making that 5 v Boro. I'm guessing you'd have to go back to the 60/70's.

It's not that many seasons ago when away fans used to sing " your grounds to big for you " lol.
