9000 if the old bill allow it! I think they'll only give us the 5000/6000 allocation. We'd sell out 9000 easy though. Gutted I won't be there. China has come at a bad time!
But that isn't a rivalry... And that wasn't a night game... I expect the police to make it 6000 unfortunately. Though 9000 at the Emirates would be something else. Gutted I won't be there
We took 20k to highbury in 84 and 77 for a league cup game. Biggest away turnouts I have seen as a chelsea fan
But it isn't just about rivalry it's whatever category the OB give the game. If it's category C they'll do everything to limit our allocation. Leeds would be Category C for a large number of PL clubs and plenty of Championship/League 1 Leeds was a night game if I remember correctly.
Which they'll determine due to a number of factors with one main one being that it's a rivalry. For the night game Leeds got 6000. They played on a Sunday lunchtime also and got 9000 then. If we are getting reduced allocations for Swindon away, i'd expect us to get it for Arsenal
Think Old t 2005 carling may be the last. 84 we overfilled the Clock (16k) by 2, and our 2k allocation of seats, so loads went in the north bank and scattered around the ground.
