    Just checked the Wolves attendance and it was some 3,000 below capacity. Toon fans seem to be in one slim section behind the goal .....I'm guessing between 1,500-3,000. Any one know the numbers? Are clubs still committed to offering 5% of capacity to away fans?
    I'm sure in recent seasons we were taking between 4-5,000 fans away with us on the road.
    What's happened? Is it this the dozy fall out from Darlo still and this random membership issue?

    Wolves are renovating their stadium, that's why the numbers were down yesterday.

    We had 1200 yesterday. People say we sell what we are given and the facts are, we don't. Just look at Villa, loads of empty seats in the away end for a Saturday 3pm kick off.

    I think the allocation yesterday was low because they are doing their ground up.

    I think the Darlo game has indeed killed it a bit but the demand for away tickets isn't high in the first place, hence why our box office never take the full allocation if demand is low, and to be fair, why should they and risk losing money?

    We have around 1000 hardcore away followers that will be there at most, but some can only afford to pick and choose.

    Stoke has started at 25 loyalty points because we will have a low allocation.

    Can you explain the loyalty points system?

    For each away game you go to, you get 1 loyalty point. The more loyalty points you get, the more likely you are to get tickets.

    Sunderland started on 100 loyalty points, so you had to have been to 100 away games before you get a ticket but the requirement tends to go down.
