A reasonable explanation for most part, bit about block 13 makes no sense though
From the club. Madness. Stop the migration of fans. People aren't that desperate to charge across their own fans.
'For this match, we have reduced the away allocation to only 2000 tickets in 7, 8 and 9 in line with EFL regulations for Play-offs, - this has meant we have been able to open blocks 11 and 12 for home supporters, and have as many Sky Blues fans as we are able to at the game.
The configuration of the concourse area in the South Stand is also not appropriate for any more supporters than we have currently in this area, due to the size of area once the shutters are down and also the kiosk/toilet facilities.
When discussing the then-potential fixture a number of weeks ago, agreement was made with the stadium safety team that we could only make this available, or let supporters know about this, once other areas were sold out.
We have been required by the stadium's safety team to keep the Jimmy Hill flag in Block 13, to stop migration by fans from the East Stand into the South Stand in the stadium bowl.
Segregation between home and away fans is maintained in Blocks 6 and 10, with this being significantly reduced compared to previous league matches this season.
In taking this approach, we have managed to achieve more tickets for sale in the home areas for Sky Blues, but reduce the overall capacity for this games as opposed to the recent home League fixture with Birmingham City.
We want to make clear that our aim as a Club is always to have as many Sky Blues fan in the Arena as possible supporting the team and we always strive to do this - however, we are required to do this by working with the stadium safety team and its safety officer, plus the Safety Advisory Group and in adherence to the safety certificate of the stadium.'
The club are now claiming tickets for Sunday are available on the website....this is all just bizarre.
We are customers. Do you actually think they ‘really’ care about anything other than money? Do you actually think the players ‘really’ love us. Come on.
Great.
So no points deductions for us then if we go on the pitch. It’s all down to ACL, and nothing to do with CCFC
You're right, it isn't that hard.I haven't said "nothing to do with". I have said ultimate control, CCFC staff will then work with them.
It's really not that hard.
Is there food available in the lounges?

I've a spare for sale if you or anyone else needs one.
You're right, it isn't that hard.
Who has ultimate responsibility for matchday safety?
SAG -> Frasers -> Club
Doug king will not be happy in a 32409 capacity stadium selling 27000 tickets
So the Club then? Glad we got there in the end
Yep. Burger and Chips, Mac and Cheese. That sort of thing. It’s ok but can be a bit lukewarm.
I bought 4… haven’t told me which one or if it’s all!!! We have a Junior with us… what’s the betting they are put on their own in the opposite stand. WTF is going on!!I’ve been emailed and told they are moving my seat because of Sky cameras!!!FFS
Boddy summoned to a meeting
I’ve been emailed and told they are moving my seat because of Sky cameras!!!FFS
I’ve been emailed and told they are moving my seat because of Sky cameras!!!FFS
surely you're not THAT ugly?I’ve been emailed and told they are moving my seat because of Sky cameras!!!FFS
Why did you answer it in such a confusing way?It's almost as if you are reading whatever you want and missed out the other 2 who have more of a say over it.
Keep an eye out for a one man sit in protest that delays kick off!!You should sit on it
What block you in out of interest?I bought 4… haven’t told me which one or if it’s all!!! We have a Junior with us… what’s the betting they are put on their own in the opposite stand. WTF is going on!!
Why did you answer it in such a confusing way?
You think the SAG have ultimate responsibility then?
Its advice,we don’t have to take it.It's not the club, it's as stating the SAG and police advice. Which is why it is weird if they are not happy to give the reasoning the SAG have given them
BLOCK13What block you in out of interest?
It wasn't confusing.
SAG will be able to tell Frasers what they can / can't do who will then be able to tell CCFC what they can / can't do.
I've added a post, cheers.Have a look for a Thread called "Middlesborough Home Semi FInal Tickets Wanted - Waiting/Wanted List READ FIRST POST"
A fair few people in there where waiting for tickets.
the council have devolved their powers to the sagIts called the Safety Advisory Group. Organisations with the power of enforcement against private companies do not have the word "Advisory" in their name.
Their job is to advice on how to ensure spectator safety, nothing else.
I suspect you're confusing them with the council, who issue the safety certificate and who have the authority to reduce capacity or close the ground completely if they believe spectator safety is at risk.
Right in the corner… think it’s 21. Quite ironic really…I Picked that to get my mug on TV for corners and goal celebrations because my daughter asked me to!!! Fecking kids!!!What block you in out of interest?

All I want is the club to acknowledge its responsibilities, that is all.
If its taken the advice of SAG, then explain why. If its signed a licence agreement with Frasers that allows Mike Ashley to limit our capacity and starve the club of income at the drop of a hat, explain why.
This constant limp dick attitude from Boddy of "its out of our control" is what gets on my wick.
