Gary Nanes Posted July 5, 2019 Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 Leeds only allocated 2,300 opening day as opposed to 2,700 last year. I’m not sure if this is to allow for extra segregation to get City fans in the Atyeo like the Derby game, maybe @JulieH can confirm that, but I did hear a few months back about the allocation being slashed again for the perceived advantage it gives. Don’t think we’ll ever see anyone get 3,600 again after the Swansea game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just the initial allocation Leeds may well get more, or city may be planning to put home fans in the Atyeo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudolf Hucker Posted July 5, 2019 Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 Even with an overly generous allowance last season, there were still too many Leeds fans in the home seats. Reducing the available seating to them will only exacerbate the problem unless the club use cleverer ways to sell tickets in home areas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City fan 1982 Posted July 5, 2019 Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 The only problem slashing allocations is that clubs can return the favour ! The same fans applauding this move won’t be feeling the same for example , if we could take 4 k to reading or Fulham and limited to 2 k look at rangers and Celtic for example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been to countless Old Firm games and part of the fun is the atmosphere created by both sets of fans. Since Rangers cut Celtics allocation I haven't been able to get a ticket for Ibrox, and since Celtic retaliated by cutting Rangers allocation it's been nowhere near as much fun without any Rangers fans to laugh at!

If we can't sell those tickets it's ridiculous to cap tickets for away fans. Empty seats is stupid if you can sell them to fans who want to watch there team.

sglosbcfc Posted July 5, 2019 Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 Crazy if we are not going to maximise ticket sales. Fair enough if you have specific intelligence e.g. Cardiff are going to cause trouble so you limit their allocation. But generally we should offer all 3700 tickets to away supporters.

Leeds are more likely aren’t they? I can’t remember the last time Cardiff turned up in BS3, different story when we go over there hence why they’ve slashed our allocation.

ralphindevon Posted July 5, 2019 Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 How many did Swansea get last season? The best atmosphere of the season, a home win and an extremely memorable and enjoyable day.

It may have escaped your notice, but we have quite a shit, relatively small ground. 1200 is normally plenty for away fans in league one- not us of course :)- but on the few occasions the away team do sell their allocation , it makes for a much better atmosphere.
