Chelsea at home

Oh rats, it gets worse. The late kick-off means travelling back on Sunday but TransPennine are on strike. I think I might have to settle for watching the U18s at Everton instead.

I noticed the segregation between Man City and Man United fans was about 3 seats with netting while we have at least 22 seats. How can they do it but we can't?

I might just be talking nonsense, but could we be increasing segregation to reduce the amount the club has to spend on policing and stewarding.

I assume that would need to be increased the closer the fans are together.

But it's weird because I'm sure it wasn't anywhere near this large a gap a few years ago.

Nice to be in the last 8 out of 124 starters eh lads?

A lot more than that if you include non league teams in the qualifiers. 637 clubs have played in this seasons FA Cup

Typical of Boro to put tickets on sale when lots of fans are travelling to Sheff U. I know S/T holders have time to get them but wanted to get one for a mate and will be on train at that time. Have to get someone else to get them for me.

You can still get that second ticket until the SC holders deadline too

You have the whole of the following day to get your tickets.

So outside the ground is free to police?

There's plenty of policing outside of the ground.

It's largely stewards inside the ground.

Got Friday and Saturday apartment night booked in Manchester, seeing a band on the Saturday night. Won't be able to make the game, will have to settle for a pub in Manchester and hope it doesn't go to extra time.

Will these go on general sale? If so when, any idea please?
Help appreciated

Over-cautious?
Worried stewards are incompetent?
Contempt for our fans?

Monday 14th March, 5pm.

The Spurs match was only on general sale for about an hour, so I'm not sure this one will reach it.

Especially now them fans who attended their first game against spurs have bagged the 3 points loyalty points.

No chance it will get to general again.

Hopefully some of the fans who turned out for spurs and again for Chelsea will partake in a few league games in the final run in, the lads deserve it.

We were up 2,000 on the previous home league match on Saturday, despite a smaller away attendance.

The segregation issues is because of how the concourse layout is.

Has the concourse layout changed in the last few years?

It didn't seem to be an issue before.

Not sure to be honest. The away fans only moved into the East Stand in 2013 and theres not been a huge amount of sell outs since which highlights the problem. 2016 saw further reconfiguration with the Premier League.

For some reason Spurs took about 1000 less than they did for the FA Cup game in 2020 but no idea why.
