Cannot see Stags numbers in Birkenhead but it looked a good following and made a right racket.

(this is the worst attempt ever of attaching a pic, but there’s a good 800 or so surely?

All subjective on where you sit at Sixfields. Couldn’t hear much from the west stand

quite disappointed with 905 tbh, though made up for only in noise

 

[WilsdenBantam]

It was good noise and numbers from Barrow, obviously always helps when you lead for a majority but it was a dull game which can effect an atmosphere.

To be fair, as a Northampton fan you are an expert on crap away followings.

Nah, you meant to say crap and silent.

Stockport fans, what's the allocation likely to be at your gaff this season?

 

[F!RTHY]

Stockport fans, what's the allocation likely to be at your gaff this season?

1,500

 

[Conker]

Problematic

 

[Stocky]

Yeah away fans usually get Railway End and a block on the end of the Pop Side which comes to about 1'500

I think we may have to give that many but if we don't we may not give the side block as we'd sell it ourselves. Unsure on league rules.

Will be pretty close to a sell out either way

 

[Son of Cod]

You get the full lot if you're bigger than Stockport.

 

[northstandexile]

You get the full lot if you're bigger than Stockport.

So, it is just the uncovered end for us then.

 

[Stocky]

I could be wrong but I think we have to offer the other block. Our fans only seem to go in it when the opposition doesn't sell it out. If your fans snap them up, we won't have a choice.

You have to offer 10% so it's probably to do with the way you split the stand up. If the initial allocation is less than 10% and there's no other way of splitting the stand then yeah you'd essentially be forced into offering the whole stand to sides that take up the allocation I'd imagine.

 

[Conker]

I thought the away allocation was much bigger, need to be quick to get tickets for this one and Grimsby.

Yeah we always offer the whole Railway End but it's the one block of the Pop Side I'm unsure about. The Railway End is more than 10% with it being about 1'200 I think. The block in the Pop takes it to the 1'500. I think it's something to do with having to offer an area of covered stand. Sooner we start the work on the Railway End the better. At the moment, Edgeley Park is starting to look too small for us. Not every game but there's been enough sell outs to prove we can get more in.

Hate the Railway End too, it was tinpot 20 years ago to have an uncovered stand never mind now.

Yeah, ours is significantly slashed since you were last at BP too. Think it's only 900 now.

Just a reminder! 1975/76.

Looking at the last 10 teams on the list, only 2 are still League Clubs (Alex and Bradford City)!

Pools and Rochdale?

Bit premature…

And of the 10 teams just above them 8 have had stints in non league since then too.
