is to now available to Blades. We've asked Bolton to return lower tier tics so home fans can sit there !!

Sign of things to come. Obviously on back of Scunny sales and chance to increase home sales.

Good news all round and support on all 4 sides.
Another sign of club moving in right direction.
 



According to Bolton's own website, they have shifted 2075 tickets out of the 4393 they were allocated. That is as of 9.30am today when the article was posted. That apparently leaves them with just over 100 left, so they will have a much smaller following - by around 700 I would say - than Scunthorpe.
 
Top tier would have been better but if Bolton can't sell em we may as well let home supporters use them. I know we can't change it now but we really should be doing what we did for some games in the premiership and only give the lower tier to away supporters.

Surely we could give them another 200 or 300 in the upper though, and reduce the segregation? There was an unnecessary amount of segregation v Scunthorpe, and their fans in the lower could've just about all fit in the upper tier, which is one of the reasons it was so irritating.

Got to agree go anywhere else and they only net over half a dozen seats rather than a whole block.
 
United also need to give fans with kids a bigger incentive to use the Family areas on John st rather than leave seats empty on there.
 
There fans aren't happy about it, well I say fans they ones that decided last minute after they'd started winning again aren't happy, what do they expect they'd been on sale for ages and they'd only sold 2,000.

The segregation at the Lane is way too much.

Always a bone of contention that, look at Stamford Bridge & White Hart Lane away ends, think they lose one row!
What`s the difference?

P.s, Spurs might want to review that when Millwall go there :eek:

I suppose thousands of Bolton fans have suddenly decided they want to go now well fuck em! Karma for ripping us off on the first day of the season.

Exactly, some of there smarter fans (I know smart, they can't be from lancashire) have realised that they've been on sale for 3 weeks, if people really wanted to go they had plenty of time to get them, but others are fuming which is brilliant.
 
United have recalled the lower tier tickets cutting Bolton's allocation in half, their fans are fuming on twitter!
Top shithousing by the club and revenge for Bolton causing hundreds to miss kick off by only opening two turnstiles!
 
I would like to see in future the upper tier for our fans and give the lower tier to the visiting fans
 
Even if we don't need the lower tier it's the right thing to do to make sure our fans will be able to get tickets if they want them. And this should always be the priority.
 
The Bolton fans aren't happy and you can easily say as there's sales were slow then they were unlikely to sell out.

However that might not be quite accurate.
If fans know that there are plenty of tickets (4,200) then many would wait until the final week.

United always offer 2,100 in the upper tier only.
Then only consider making the bottom tier available if the top tier sells out, like what happened with Scunny.

However for some weird reason Bolton were immediately offered 4,200 tickets.

Wonder why?

Doubt we'll have that many extra home fans but that not really the point.

If means the Kop won't be packed to the rafters, so fans won't be crushed in a small area at half time in the inadequate concourse areas. I expect over 1000 home fans who would have sat in the corner wings and part restricted view of the Kop to relocate to the BL bottom tier.

The match against Bolton is also an experiment by the club with one eye to next season.
On Saturday no doubt 1000+ moaned to the club that they couldn't get tickets blah blah blah.
So now we'all see what potential support we actually have.

In the Championship there are about 10 clubs that would bring at least 3000 in our first season back.
McCabe has some hard decisions to make regards what numbers we give to away fans.

The whole design on the Bramall Lane stand was supposed to allow flexible allocation to away team
But it's not turned out like. Maybe its SY Police intervention because our stadium capacity and away allocation seems to change from match to match with no obvious pattern or logic.

Hope the bloke who was saying scunny selling just over 2000 was poor when homes gates are nowhere near Boltons
