    As I said in another post, at Reading they lose one row of seats for segregation and can adjust for different amounts of away fans without losing loads of seats as segregation. That wasn't possible when the KC was first built due to poor design which took no account of the realities of football matches of the possibility that there would ever be a full stadium.
    Even at an old stadium like the one at Norwich they get within 50 of the capacity.

    Yes, but my point is with better planning it didn’t have to be 2000 empty seats while turning away home fans.

    Yeah I think you might be right, I can't see any other reason for taking the full allocation for a 4th round tie against dull opposition.

    It happens at every ground around the country you idiot, it's not unique to Ehab. Everyone knows the North stand is allocated to away teams for big cup games, it's happened since the ground was open, if you buy a season ticket there then you should be aware that it's a possibility on the rare ocassion we have a large visiting contingent in the cup you'll have to move.

    If you don't want to suffer that massive upheaval once every two or three years then maybe reconsider your seat choice to save yourself the trauma.

    Or am I Adam or Paul? They had the same policy.

    I think those crying about a seat need to see the bigger picture, most of them wouldn't have been going anyway, any excuse to moan.

    No one cares about the dictionary definition of ‘eviction’
    The point is after I was evicted from a seat I had bought, in a ****ty confrontational way by the way, that now I’ve got used to the seat I’m in and am getting to know the others in the area, that I now can’t buy the same seat for a cup match and therefore won’t be near that fan community
    I could give a **** about definitions or FA rules...it’s just ****

    In the bigger picture does it really matter? Did you enjoy beating Man U in the league cup any less because of where you were sat? I get that it's not ideal and that people would rather sit where the are used to but get a grip ffs, every team deals with it from time to time, why are you any worse off then them?

    I'm all for calling out the owners when they do something stupid but this isn't one of those times, it's just how the stadium works. You can rightly moan that they evicted you from the east stand, but they didn't force you to buy a ticket in the north and you knew when you bought a ticket there that's why the away fans will go for cup games.

    You're the idiot here who seemingly is purposefully ignoring a very simple point and waffling on about something different.

    I used dull as an adjective not a noun, so actually it has no reference to the common pun you're referring too.

    Substitute it with whatever word you want, it's as boring a draw for forest, as it is for us.

    There's one very simple issue that people are trying to make into a bigger issue. It's been done to death and it's not going to change, move on.

    It's a good job Trenčin didn't travel in greater numbers.

    Adam and Paul did not turf E passholders into the N

    There were no home passes for the N.

    It's just a drip-drip-drip of confrontational, rash, ill-conceived, badly thought-out, poorly executed 'ideas' that have been put forward in recent years.

    Back in the E for the Forest game, I fully expect hi viz Block tsars demanding that you sit in your differentiated and designated Block despite the stand being a third full.

    The club pays stewards to do this.

    Colossal waste of resources which in turn generates bad will.

    £10.50 a ticket.. Why the 50p? The FA cup lost its magic a long time ago...Therefore count me out.

    Zonal was offered at £6, £9 and £12 (still don't understand why they rejected it as North would all have been £6). £10.50 allows the club the same money as they would have got from filling zone 2 and 3 with displaced north standers.
