Anybody have a rough idea of the allocations we are given at each ground? Just been told by a friend we get 7000 allocation at Blackburn which is good  and i imagine wigan will be giving about the same aswell. Any others? |

3000 is standard around the prem, 2200 at pompy , 4500 for wigan (stand holds 5400, but nobody gets the whole end) blackburn is usually just under 4000 according to this site www.footballgroundguide.com/blackburn_rovers/away_fans.htmgive me a min and I'll see what the next lot of visitors are getting |

expect wigan will have measures in to stop that , IE checking postcodes and booking history , but if they did, I'd be sorted as I'm on their system, as have bought tickets for my wigan supporting wife before

I think a game like blackburn would be ideal to give a non away card game a go.
Not fussed myself my ID Card is fine ;D but would love to see 5000-7000 stokies there

Why in heaven's name do Wigan have a stand that holds 5400 and they only allow 4500 in it?

Why is it unsafe to put 5400 in a stand that holds 5400? Old Trafford holds 76k and they put 76k in it. |

its more to do with safety and segregation , the 4 stands are close together so the corners almost meet , and their most "boistrous" fans go in the section of the east stand nearest the away end so to segregate they block off the outer edges of the away end, and the lower tier of the east stand (not sure on the west) M'Brough probably only getting 4000 as they wont sell out

not a chance, they have to charge that price to home fans too , and mush as we would like to think we are a big draw, the wigan public wont see it that way

Thanks for the info ID.
How many tickets did Man City get on Sunday? Scandalous if they weren't allowed the full 5400.

That's ok then, I didn't think it would be because we'd be a "draw" though, but I did wonder if they might react to the Police decision and smell a larger away following than usual.
Judging from what I've seen not that many away fans sell it out do they?

No, we are more likely to lock ourselves away in sperate rooms, her watching sky sports, me lsitening to nigel johnson . it got a bit nasty after the 6-1 game, and we both wish our clubs wouldn't play each other ...... if only they'd bugger off back to where they were when we met |

you will sell-out the 2,900 wont you? I know everybody who applied for tickets got them, so there wasn't an excess. My Spurs-supporting mate isn't sure whether they actually go on general sale... |
