Other clubs have had more than 3k tickets this season though, although maybe that was spread across both tiers?

2,400 + 1,300 = 3,700 full allocation. Sunderland got 3600 for example. 

 

Reads to be we have the full available upper tier allocation as it stands. More tickets means opening up the lower which I suspect LCFC will have to put the money up.

The capacity of the stand is reduced - it was after Newcastle cup game there last season. 

 

However, Sheffield City Council confirmed to Newcastle that as a result of the review, the Upper West Stand capacity has been reduced from 3,200 to 2,400 and the Lower West Stand capacity from 1,500 to 1,300.

 

The Leppings Lane End as been all seated for over 30 years.   As far as I'm aware, without too many issues.

Because one club's fans seem unable to conduct themselves as everyone else seems to have, the capacity has to be reduced by 1000.

Hmm ....................

The findings of the local SAG suggest it wasn’t just that game where it was an issue

Are you referring to the Sheffield City Council - Safety Advisory Group meeting on 20th Jan 2023 ?     The Minutes of that meeting don't mention any previous issues.

They were concerns about the approaches to the away end and the narrow width to the entrances here in 2019 - https://www.southyorks.police.uk/media/4337/crowd-risk-analysis-hillsborough-stadium-south-yorks-police.pdf

 

2012 - concerns over fences being used in close proximity to the away end

Issue seems to largely stem around the approach to the away end.

Well, the issues there just seem to be associated with problems with the local derby match with Sheff Utd.  

Reading between the lines, it's about keeping the Wednesday and United troublemakers away from each other - trying to segregate them outside the ground etc.

Nothing to do with safety within the ground.

Both documents cite issues around the turnstiles and the approach to the stadium. 

 

At end of the day, we are pissing in the wind. The local SAG have decided that's the allocation. Pinpointing Newcastle fans at fault when a full investigation which Wednesday tried to bury say it's' anything but their fault I don't really get. For example, they closed four turnstiles into the lower tier for example.
