Clyde1998RoyallyFcukedClyde1998 IIRC, there’s about 500 seats behind the goal (uncovered) which is often given to away fans in addition to the roughly 850 we’ve been given for tonight.
I imagine we would’ve been given those seats too and had a much more typical 1,350 allocation.
EDIT - Bolton only got 844 tickets for their upcoming game and don’t appear to have got more. Don’t know what the minimum percentage is.
I read somewhere a few years ago that the minimum percentage for an away allocation is whichever figure is lower out of 3000 and 10% of overall ground capacity. Clearly this doesn't seem to be the case here, although this is the first instance I can remember where that rule hasn't seemingly applied, hence why I've just assumed it was true.
I wonder if that stand’s closed for some sort of safety issue (or planned development) at the moment. That would explain the 10% rule not being followed.
There’s a smattering of people in it currently though.
Yeah it probably has limited capacity at the moment, for safety or whatever reason. Stockport are planning on redeveloping their ground and increasing the capacity too, starting next year.
