I think if we had 4000 we'd sell 4000

we aint been this far in the cup for years mate if this was in the seventies we would have took 10 thousand serious and i know there will be more than 2400 city fans in norwich on the 18th

Has there been trouble? :unsure:

Yes. The season we got relegated and beat them 4-0. Down Market street is it? The road which the Globe and O'Neils is on.

This could all backfire on norwich, 1st they've set a pecidence that will have to be maintained thoughout the cup against far bigger sides than us that wont lie down so easily, 2ndly we might play out of our skin because we feel hard done by

Low allocation? Probably because Norwich, flying in the Prem at the minute, aren't that fussed about a match against us. Chances are, they won't get anywhere near a sell out, so our 2,500 will probably be well over 10% of the tickets sold.

I don't see why we couldn't have extended allocations, but it's unlikely.

The real reason for the low allocation is Norfolk Police, renowned for being ridiculously heavy-handed when it comes to footy matches. Although it's a big derby with potential for trouble, Norwich v 1p5wich games aren't in the same league as Millwall v West Ham or Birmingham v Villa when it comes to trouble, yet they're played on Sunday every year thanks to Norfolk police. As a couple of posters have pointed out, this goes back to the trouble Norwich fans caused when you beat us 4-0 at your place 3 years ago. We went down that year so didn't play each other the following season, but upon our return to the Championship last year, Norfolk police requested both games involving the clubs were midweek, which would guarantee fewer travelling fans.

Now we have you in the cup you should quite rightly get 15% and it's Norfolk police who are putting pressure on the club to give you a reduced allocation. Admittedly, the club probably won't put up much of a fight as they know we'll sell out with home fans anyway, and as there are lots of Norwich fans unable to get tickets for Premier League matches, it gives them an opportunity to please more fans.

Personally, I think it would add to the occasion if there were 4,000 Leicester fans there. Would enhance what will already be a great atmosphere. If it was the other way around, I'd be absolutely livid. But as for the posts about Norwich fans being arrogant and thinking we're a top 4 club, come on!! Norwich has more than its fair share of stupid fans but even they don't think that. We're similar sized clubs and we're just enjoying a rare period of success.

All they have managed to achieve is piss the Leicester fans off and create tension between the fans before the match.More likely to have a H&S issue now.

I agree, there decision has nothing to do with health and safety really but it may well have the consequence of causing an issue.

Sounds nearer the mark.

Less work for the Old Bill, who'll probably still stick a big overtime bill in.

If they start doing this regularly, we'll end up with next to no away fans at matches....

Hmmm now let me see what is safer, 2400 city fans with a few hundred ticketless in the Norwich end, or 4000 city fans in the correct seats. Would just give them 5% - 1600 if its a replay, on safety grounds of course.
