On principle. Newcastle won't get 3,750 if City don't give them more than the 10% they are required to for the EFL Cup.
There's a larger allocation for cup games, so not all normal home seats are available and never were.
It is 10%. Man City got 7,500 for their game compared to the 9,500 tickets teams get for FA Cup games. Chelsea complained that because of seating restrictions due to segregation they got nearly 600 lesss than the 10% of capacity they were entitled to. They lost their appeal.
It is up to 15% for the FA Cup but 10% for the EFL Cup. Clubs can give more if they wish but City have announced they aren't.
It seems it is 10%, they've reduced it ahead of this season, so everyone can have their existing seats. Unless the owners **** off, we'll never sell 22,000 tickets.
Yes I was. I never said the Allams had anything to do with reducing the allocation, I said unless they **** off, they might as well give them to Newcastle.
We're not having atmosphere in out stadium so you can do one...!!!!! http://www.shieldsgazette.com/sport...-down-request-for-more-cup-tickets-1-8207596?
You didn't word it very well. They in that post refers to the EFL, in this post it refers to the Allams. The first post declaring so everyone could keep their seats seems as if it referred to us and was done for our benefit. A strange decision given that a lot of RFL Cup games don 't sell out and trams with good away support like Newcastle would take thousands. Their last two away games in the league they took over 5,000 rather than the less than 2,500 they would have been entitled to.
Did you mean 'exactly',. And in light of confirmation the allocation is 10% do you want to issue a statement?
Both team will fancy a semi final slot. Home tie,our defence v their scoring for fun attack maybe...ouch! Would prefer a point tomorrow.
