| Only 2,118 tickets for away play-off on 11:04 - May 3 with 6422 views | dirk_doone | I noticed that Forest only gave the minimum away allocation to Villa for their big European game, which meant about a third of the away section - the part nearest the pitch - was left empty. When it matters, clubs do limit the away allocation, even if it costs them money. Boro's capacity is bigger than ours so we should certainly not offer them more tickets than they've offered us.

We ****ed our away end up in this regard when moving it as can't put any Saints fans in there. Hopefully we leave 1000 empty though. |  | |  |

As I said, that's what Forest did . |  |

Not sure they would sell 3000 tickets anyway on a Tuesday night all that way, despite being a big game. |  |

I think they probably would. Their away support is excellent and mile for mile one of the best in the league. |  | |  |

I don't have a clue about their away support, but on a Tuesday night, that's two days off work with only a week's notice. Their sales for the 2nd leg might also be affected by the score in the first leg. |  |

| Only 2,118 tickets for away play-off on 12:12 - May 3 with 6250 views | 1ASIN12 | I’m surprised fans are surprised. Rules for the championship away allocations are 10% or 2000 whichever is the smaller. Including playoffs. Obviously some cubs give more like Preston , Blackburn but you can bet if it was a big game for them then they’d limit it too. |  |

And yet when Arsenal fans needed to be seated in what is normally the home section, it was no problem. |  |

True. Could Saints fans sit in a block in that away end as there is a barrier and could the Saints fans then get access to the concourse underneath, when there is a wall there is wall there isn't there? |  |

You're right, them's the rules, Coventry only ever give us the max they give any team for a league of 2127, about 1000 short of 10% capacity. We could, like the Pompey game go like for like and give them what them give us, but that would mean leaving about 800 seats empty, unless our away section can be split? |  | |  |

| Only 2,118 tickets for away play-off on 01:40 - May 4 with 5545 views | TimSaint | Ipswich away last season we got 3000 @ £30 Ipswich away this season we got 2000 @ £38 You'd think the clubs would chat about things like this. Just give Boro what they give us, even if it means netting off seats |  |
|  |
| Only 2,118 tickets for away play-off on 08:00 - May 4 with 5402 views | FredTheLeg | Most Ipswich tickets were £43 I think. 38 was only in the tiny lower section. I think some clubs have pushed for a price cap but you can see why many aren't interested with much less TV money in this league. |  | |  |

It would certainly raise a smile if they did that, and there are a few people at the Club with a sense of humour. [Post edited 4 May 11:13]

As far as I know it's not flexible and Saints fans cannot move into that section. Very bad planning by the club The moving of the away fans had nothing to do with creating a home end, it was purely to enable the club to create the fans zones. But the club dressed it up to look like the fans were getting what they wanted!! It was happening even if the fans said no |  | |  |

I was totally against the change because it would reduce atmosphere and all this fanzone fencing is a bit ugly. Reasons they claimed like away fans making more noise was total tosh and decisions bneing made by people who had been around only a handful of years and not seen games from 20 years ago etc I do know the council safety wouldnt allow the corner seating ever to be used due to missile problems. |  | |  |

Quick simple temporary solution .... block off the problem stairwell (with scaffolding & boards) to then allow an additional saints section. |  | |  |

I think the entrances and concourse are probably a bigger issue than the actual seating area. |  | |  |
| Only 2,118 tickets for away play-off on 18:19 - May 4 with 4695 views | UlsterBaz | 100% correct. Give them the bare minimum we are required to allocate them. If that means leaving seats empty then so be it. [Post edited 4 May 18:20]

| Only 2,118 tickets for away play-off on 20:06 - May 4 with 4561 views | dirk_doone | Before there used to be a section kept empty behind the goal in the Northam to separate the home and away fans. It always looked terrible. When you saw TV replays of our goals or photos online it looked like the stadium was empty. At least an empty section in a corner wouldn't be noticed.
