    After discussions….Birmingham have secured another 500 tickets, but the total of 2000 is the full allocation!!

    What’s going on, why would we just chuck away the chance of selling up to another 3000 tickets at £23 a pop???

    North stand/area issue - or some strange Covid rule??

    Is it just that that's all Birmingham will bring?

    If it's some ground capacity thing for policing costs then it really is a shambles

    But wasn't that just because they weren't going to bring more than that anyway? They only sold 1,700

    So are we seriously saying that a 6000 seater stand now has a 2000 seat capacity and 4000 seats cant be used. If so what is the reason - when the capacity was reduced from 6000 to 4500 after the Leeds game I could understand - though not agree with - the logic to keep the corner block and the front 2 rows empty. I never got the logic behind not using aisle seats but at least there was a reason stated for it

    if the stand now has a limit of 2000 that needs someone to explain because I cant think of any reason why that can be the case.
    This cant be right surely

    The official away support was just over 1,700 but it looked more like 3,000 as it seemed half full

    No where near half full, 1700 looked about right

    The North Stand was built on an ancient Indian burial ground. It has structural defects as a consequence and covenant to protect it. No more than 2000 spectators must cross it's fresh hold otherwise half of Dearne Valley will fall into a huge chasm.

    Would you rather watch the football, or look at a full stand? Will it spoil your enjoyment of the game?

    Do you look at the mantlepiece when you're poking the fire?

    I bet Sheff Utd get offered 5,000, not that they’ll ask for that many though.
