KingswoodRed Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 Just when the East End debate looked dead and buried they go and draw the Premiership 'Giants' Everton. Surely the East End will have to be used as an 'overflow' now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claloudav Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 Defienetly have to agree with you there. With such a big game ahead I don't think there is any excuse not to open it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bow_Legged_Chicken Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 because everton would sell it out and instead of selling us more tickets they will probaly give the entire allocation to them. Also the % of the stadium you must give them rule would come into play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cider head Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 they way we have been peed about i wouldn't go in there if it was open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stylus Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 We have to give them around about 25% of our capacity. 20,000 divided by 4 is 5,000. About the Capacity of the East End. I can't see them selling their allocation of 5-4,000. They might bring about 2,000 at the most but its a long way, to watch a Carling Cup match against a division 1 side at a ground with no atmosphere.

It was built so the two blocks can be used for City fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stylus Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 It was built. It's the in the Williams Stand to protect the away fans!! But i believe it was also built so City fans could inhabite Williams Block E (subbers section) and then increase the capacity EDIT: This post is the same as CITYRGR8 becasue we posted at the same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidered Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 we have to give them 10-15% so we wont have to give them anymore than 2,500 tickets with 1,000 seats for segregation then we should have 1,500.Whether we do is a completely different story.

Stylus Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 I think we have to give them 20-25%which is say 4,000. Thats most of the East End. With around about 500 odd spare seats for segrgation that would leave about 500 for City fans. I doubt the club will take the 'risk' with only about 500 seats for us on offer.
