Other than Liverpool at home where the sell out attendance was only 28.5k because the Police closed off almost 3000 seats in the home end to give Liverpool 7.2k. Bear in mind our stands were designed to need little to no segregation.

You should think yourselves lucky, we had a "home sellout" with around 30k there. This included the away support and an additional 1k home fans in the bottom of Leppings Lane, this is a ground that has/had until recently a capacity of just below 40k. We even had netting to separate home fans from other home fans. Think we have netting to separate one lot of netting from another lot of netting. Syp and Sag are inept, it also happens at Bramall Lane and now it seems Oakwell. However due to our grounds "history" it is worse at Hillsborough. No disrespect meant but it is nearly 28 years since the disaster, things have changed immensely since then, (not all for the better imo) grounds are so much safer now but Health and safety has gone mad. Anywayou off topic "c'mon you blue and white wizards!"

1,300 sold for Bristol away on Friday.

Bloody good going for a Friday night Sky game, gutted I can't go.

You had 686 tonight.

 

[Nook Terrier]

You had 686 tonight.

Fuck knows what our ticket office twitter was on about. Poor bastards the lot of them

 

[HtfcWArrior]

I think they meant 1300 left for the game out of the 1800 allocation a couple days ago not 1300 sold

 

[astonvillan]

4700 sold out for Wigan on Saturday. Thought we had only taken the 4200 but we must of had the full allocation.

Only sold out cos it's a novelty...

 

[JJH]

Brentford away sold out for the first game after the international break, 1,650 roughly.

 

[Bill Carr]

We've allocated the Jawdees a maximum of 2,350 at £42 for the game next month.

Where is that then? The upper, which holds a thousand or so more?
Why so few - just spite, limiting away followings for the sake of it?

No probably not just strange that t. O tweeted less than 500 remaining on Monday out of the 1800 allocation

 

[PrestonCha]

6,005 PNE at Blackburn

They must've meant 500 sold mate. I said just before the game they must all be stuck in traffic cause it's fuck all near 1.3k!

 

[Walkley_Owl]

1,951 Derby.

 

[villa loyal]

4781 happy villa fans.

 

[Reaper]

262 millers got nothing better to do

 

[Graydon75]

From the Wigan prog, their support away at Villa was 981.

 

[Jamo]

No official number yet but we pre-sold 719 for Norwich so I'd imagine around 750 were there on the day.

 

[Walkley_Owl]

443 Reading.

 

[JJH]

442 Reading and one Bury UTS

 

[villa loyal]

We've only been given the 2800 allocation at Fulham. Personally I think it's down to the fact that loads of the neutral has been sold as a lot of our fans have been buying tickets in there for months. It makes sense as Newcastle and Leeds only got allocated the same and the whole end was full of their fans anyway. The less neutral tickets sold the bigger the allocation for teams.

It seems SWFC do need the money after all as they've increased Newcastle's allocation from 2,300 to 3,100.

Good, hope they get the extra 1400 in the bottom as well. If they have the whole of the top tier, (which is now around 3100) can't see there being any chance of syp letting us have the bottom, so they might as well give it to them. Leeds and Villa had both tiers this season and Birmingham had the bottom tier only, so don't see any reason why the Geordies can't have it. There was a bit of chanting, fence banging and beer throwing going on between Wednesday and Birmingham fans, but nothing serious at all, surely not enough to give syp any reason to close the bottom tier

That's plenty enough for the useless tossers you should know that by now.

Very true, it was scary shit mate. You saw nothing in Marseille to compare with this.
