brisfox Posted 2 February 2014 Posted 2 February 2014 With all the controversy about away tickets, should the club look at the number of away fans we let in so that more tickets are available to home supporters? Example, why let Yeovil and Watford have an allocation of 3500 when they will bring 500 max. Surely those seats could be made available yo home fans. Thoughts?
Munshi Posted 2 February 2014 Posted 2 February 2014 We're not gong to sell out both of those games so whats the point.
Leicesterpool Posted 2 February 2014 Posted 2 February 2014 Well for Yeovil, just maybe cause it's a midweek fixture, reducing the prices for there ticket say just £10 Adults £5 for kids. Might attract a few of there fans down.
Guest Bilo Posted 2 February 2014 Posted 2 February 2014 We can and do reduce away allocations when necessary. The club have opened up M2 and M3 to home supporters more than once, Scunthorpe in League One and Middlesbrough in the play-off season, so I imagine it'll happen again before the end of the season if we're still in a promotion position. The last match of the season is against Doncaster and I'd be extremely surprised to see them allocated the full 3,250.
stuartn27 Posted 2 February 2014 Posted 2 February 2014 I like to see the away allocation reduced to 2000 Forest getting away with it..

Might attract a few of there fans down.Not very likely. I'll make a bold guess here and say that reduced prices won't make much of a difference. The main issue for Yeovil fans is the travel duration.
Super_horns Posted 2 February 2014 Posted 2 February 2014 Probably bring more than 500 but fair point. Certainly won't be 3,500.
Ashley Posted 2 February 2014 Posted 2 February 2014 Me personally I think we should make the away end smaller and allow for more Leicester fans should we go up. From L Block to where the big fire escape is would be around 2,000 seats maybe just over. Then the block next to N Block could be used for home fans??
AndWhat? Posted 2 February 2014 Posted 2 February 2014 I think they'd have to redesign the concourse area for this. They only have shutters past L and N.
Ashley Posted 2 February 2014 Posted 2 February 2014 I think they'd have to redesign the concourse area for this. They only have shutters past L and N. They wouldn't mate. L would stay the same the next block along is basically a brick wall inside no chance of fans getting at each other that way.. Only thing that would have to be moved is the barriers down N.

Really? so the away concourse is split into sections? I never knew that.
Iwan is a Welshman Posted 2 February 2014 Posted 2 February 2014 To be honest, I don't think we've got any right to be denying away fans seats if they're going to sell them and we're not - which would probably be the case for the top seven or eight in the Prem. That's my problem with what Birmingham did. They knew they weren't going to fill their seats so why not give us the extra couple of thousand? If they were going to sell the tickets then fair enough, but having them sit empty makes no sense for the game.
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 2 February 2014 Posted 2 February 2014 I'd love for us to only give QPR 2000 or so if we were in a position to win promotion/the league at that game.
TheLeftSide Posted 2 February 2014 Posted 2 February 2014 In the premier league you have to provide the away club a minimum of 3,000 or 10% (whichever is the smallest number). There are a couple of ways round this though especially when playing teams with smaller away followings.
