Did anyone else notice there was zero segregation at Huddersfield v Spurs....no empty seats between the two sets of fans whatsoever, just a couple of stewards on the stairs....how can done clubs achieve this whereas we have always seemed to be so determined to keep huge spaces between fans in the past?! .....obviously it's not as big an issue now with the Atyeo Stand being entirely for away fans but am I right in thinking it will never sell out as the front few rows have to be kept empty?! I doubt our safety certificate is granted based on our actual capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beaverface Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 According to here: http://stadiumdb.com/competitions/stadium_of_the_year_2016 we've got 27699 seats. Surely 699 seats segregation should allow us a borderline 27000 attendance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Simpson Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Below is copied from the os. I assume they know how many seats we have. THURSDAY, MAY 4TH 2017 The attendance for City’s Sky Bet Championship final day clash with Birmingham City will be the largest league crowd at Ashton Gate in 37 years. Not since the Division One days of 1979/80 has a league fixture in BS3 attracted so many supporters to City’s home. At present the crowd for Sunday’s season finale has eclipsed the 25,000-mark. That leaves just under 300 tickets left available before the club put up the sold out signs. The fully-redeveloped Ashton Gate has a seated capacity of just over 26,459, but a number of safety restrictions have been placed on Sunday’s fixture. If sales continue at their current rate, a capacity crowd of 25,292 is anticipated. Of that crowd, a massive 15% is under the age of 12, a demonstration of the club's continued focus towards growing its next generation through Forever Bristol City memberships. The only other two matches to eclipse the 25,000 figure since 1980 have been in the League Cup and play-offs. They are: - February 1989, 28,084 in League Cup semi-final L2 v Nottingham Forest - May 1988, 25,128 in Play-off final L1 v Walsall City’s highest league crowd before that came against Liverpool in March 1980, when 27,523 packed into Ashton Gate to watch the then two-time European Cup winners take on Alan Dicks’ side. This is also the highest ever attendance at Ashton Gate as an all-seater stadium. There is no guarantee that tickets will be available on the day of the game, so to secure your seat for Sunday’s match, call 0117 963 0600 or book online. Meanwhile, season cards for 2017/18 will go back on sale from 10am on May 15th until May 31st. Full details and pricing will be announced tomorrow.

I'm sure there is a capacity of that, but it couldn't ever be that many for football. Either that, or there is a certain amount of poetic licence allowed in rounding up the capacity figure.

As for promotions can't see them doing it for a game that will sell well anyway. If we beat Burton and continue the good form, and Leeds fill their allocation (which I'm sure they will) then I think it will be 25+ , but we won't get 27k unless we get a good cuptie where they feel comfortable giving the whole Atyeo away, a game like a Liverpool then we might. What segragation is needed???? Leeds have the whole of the Atyeo, they are no where near our lot in the Dolman and the Lansdown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidered abroad Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 10% reduction in Atyeo as it's probably assumed that all the away fans will stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it doesn't sell, then it will back their case when it's called for in future, but let's give everyone every option for getting to this game.
