Fill the One call next saturday

[Martin Shaw]

Essentially then, we can never reach our true full capacity unless it's sold out the day before?

correct, in an all-ticket game, to my understanding.

[smulls]

Ok, I have no choice but to go to the away end then....

[wink68]

The rules say we can't sell the 10%(700) tommorow or put home fans in the North stand. If there are 500 fans outside the ground before kick off. The police or SAG have a decision to make on public safety. 500 people going nowhere or try to segregate them in thr North stand as best they can.

The segregation in the North Stand was done on the “pay what you want” day vs Gateshead, no issues on that day. Some common sense required I feel

This is what happened for the Gateshead game. Not an EFL game of course.

"The kick off was delayed for 15 minutes due to crowd congestion as the North Stand had to be opened up for home fans as well as the visiting 72 Gateshead fans."

[bigalstag]

2400 seats empty and people wanting to buy tickets. You couldn't make it up. Club appealing for more support and a quarter of the ground not being used.

[Richard Cranium]

Away fans can buy on day so might be a few in North Stand

[MTFCMusings]

Sold out.

[Foresttownstag]

Sell out in the home areas yet Stevenage’s massive following of 146 will occupy a stand that holds over 1,500.

Absolutely pathetic

Indeed bud. Teams like Stevenage would be better off in the Conference. Pathetic is too kind a word to use

This is an ideal opportunity for the Safety Action Group to prove it can think outside of the box, problem solve whilst regaining public trust and confidence.

An organised, managed and segregated North Stand by the correct deployment of police and stewards would prove this. Alas I don’t think this will happen.

They won't even be thinking they've lost "public trust and confidence" they're too busy slapping each other on the back for all there good work

Bet they won’t be too busy back slapping to give the instruction to lock Carl Gabbitas’ Gate?

Do we know if any other club at our level has this problem?

[MansfieldMick]

Lincoln share their stand with away fans, why can't we have half the north stand and use West stand toilets and food kiosks?...... Or is that to sensible?

[Stafford]

Anyone know if when collecting tickets tomorrow, whether they'll allow me to change a kids ticket to an adult one?

The pathetic aspect of this situation is 100% down to our stadium design which is so inflexible. Other clubs can segregate stands due to their design. Ie stands can be split in two or three with facilities in each section. Our design cannot hence our problem of having a home sellout with one stand likely to be 90% empty. Short sightedness? or complacency as it was designed at 10000 capacity when our average gates were around 2500 so sellouts probably were not top of the agenda.

That'll be The Dark Lord for you.

Built the stadium out of sherbet too - not your standard building material!

[Stags 2002]

Sold out.

[victor A block]

So the reality is that the Radfords try so hard all season to boost attendances. We have a real big last game and whilst most clubs have four stands and many move away fans to fit the numbers expected, we can only sell 90% of 2 stands for our own fans and may well be turning people away . There's only going to Be a total crowd of just over 6500 in a 9000 plus stadium . Time the club stopped rolling over and having its tummy tickled by SAG .

[old ram stag]

it does seem an issue that we have tighter regs imposed than our neighbours, forest for example put both home fans and away fans in the Bridgeford end separated by tarpaulin, and at the end of the game both the away and home are released into the Brian clough stand carpark, that with away followings of several thousands? we have to leave empty blocks in two stands and a locked gate to sometimes separate us and 100 away fans.

[adamstag]

So is there another 700 or so on sale today?

[wayno cordiniho]

No not for home areas

[Parkinsons Perm]

Looking at the forecast the weather is gonna play a bigger part than the fans.

If the storm's and gales do arrive what happens if it's unplayable, a quick rearrangement this week???
