Annoying but, I guess, understandable if they're able to split the stand between upper and lower tier which, of course, we're not able to. I assume Newcastle got the lower tier as well which would mean our reduced allocation doesn't seem to really have a lot to do with the Newcastle fans. Well they were complaining how unsafe there ground and then fity council took action and them away fans number got reduced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you going mate? Don’t get stressed about others who can’t because of the reduced allocation. Just sing a bit louder, and don’t forget to “sitdarn!” 😝 Tamworthram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Safe enough if they had been in their allocated seats and not standing in the central stairways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the council (or whoever it was) wouldn't have enforced a reduced capacity because the fans wouldn't sit down?

Mucker1884 Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Surely all of us who jumped around at Blackpool should have first dibs on the last away game of the season... every season! We earned that, at the very least! 👀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s already happened in the East stand at Derby this season. Every club has a safety certificate review each season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The upper capacity was reduced to 2,400 and the lower to 1,300. They want to sell the lower to their own fans so aren't giving that to us, hence our small allocation.

I think, in the Newcastle situation, it was standing in the aisles that was the issue not standing per se. I will concede, based on the various comments, that the Newcastle fans behaviour and subsequent complaints has resulted in a reduced capacity but the overwhelming reason for our reduced number of tickets is because we’re only getting the upper tier. As @angieram implies, if we had both tiers we have something like 3,700 seats. So, our reduced allocation has very little to do with Newcastle fans and is mainly due to Sheffield wanting to sell the lower tier to their fans.

Well, if the Newcastle fans hadn't misbehaved the review would never have happened and we'd have got our usual 3,700 in the upper tier! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough. I take it all back (although, according to t’internet the actual reduction of the upper tier is down from 3,200 not 3,700).
