Why only 982 tickets allocated to Hull City? I thought we usually took more than that. I cant see them reducing our allocation to get more Luton fans in that stand.
A stand with around 2,000. That sounds a very small stand. But I checked and that's how big the stand is. I wonder if members will take all the tickets.
They only have to give a maximum of 1,035 which is 10% of their capacity. The segregation to keep areas separate behind the stand separate will be why it is a few under. Good job their SAG doesn’t want the segregation ours does otherwise there would be a couple of hundred away fans in the middle with the rest of the stand empty on either side.
Luton’s ground is, being polite, crap. There’s better non league grounds. Mind you I’d love them to get promoted this season.
That stand is the one where you walk underneath some Victorian terraced houses from memory , I’m surprised it holds 1k never mind 2!! It’s a dump
In the Championship it is 10% of capacity or 2,000 whichever is less. Luton’s capacity is 10,350 so that means they have to give 1,035. Police or SAG can reduce these amounts for safety reasons. Which is why you do not even get the full 2,000 in Sunderland’s 48,000 capacity stadium. In luton’s case it is about 40 short because of where they need to have the barriers for segregation to keep fans separate behind the stand. We have a problem in a modern supposed state of the art stadium. We cannot sell all available home tickets because they cannot match up the facilities in the concourse with segregation.
Old school me, they answered the phone at bang on 9-30, four tickets snaffled. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
Which is probably why people want to go so much. It's a different experience. I'm sure I read years ago that Peterborough regularly had the highest average of away fans in the Championship when they were in it. More than likely soley to do with it being a decent size, old school terrace. I'm guessing that won't be the case these days now they've modernised it. In today's largely uniform away fan experience Luton is a gem of a day out.
I want them to go up Purley to see the prem "superstars" go play at that kind of ground. If they do go up they have some serious work to do in the months before next season just to get the ground to the minimum requirements for the prem, I think one of their stands pretty much has to be re built in that time. I think works due to start on their new ground late this year/early next
