2,400 Allocated For Swillsbrough

[North East Blade]

Apparently anyone know for definite yet

It's from SYP so I've heard anyway

 

[Ricky]

Pathetic.

They must be sheeting themselves lol UTB

In fairness this has been common knowledge for a while. Their chairman wants piggies in the lower tier and thus is similar to what Newcastle were given last season. The capacity st the Sty is currently just over 33k

We will give that about the same when they come to BDTBL.

 

[DazBlade88]

Can't wait for the loyalty points arguments

 

[Rusty view]

I think any Blades who can see the rust bucket from their back garden should get an automatic ticket.

The capacity at the Sty is currently just over 33k.

The capacity at Hillsboro isnt 33K, they have an ever changing capacity dependant on the whims of the Safety Comittee.

Last season for the New Year's Day match against Wolves they had a £10 ticket deal on.
The game was officially SOLD OUT a week before the match.

The official attendance for the sell out was 30,549.

Sunderland sold all their 2,714 tickets for last nights match, so it seems like at BL the saftey Committe make it up as they go along and give away fans random amounts, no consistency at all.

 

[Small Mendonca]

Was considering it and trying to get some LP but no chance with what they are wanting to charge. I'd like to tick it off as a ground so I don't have to go again and was going to use the derby but not paying £42 as a student. They can suck on a fat one. Going to watch our U23s there instead at the start of November so at least it will probably be a fiver instead.

More like a grant to build a bloody big fence in order to hide that eye sore.

 

[siblade]

Just followed a couple of swine down the road and could hear snippets, basically they are shitting themselves as they know Wilder will have them up for it and we have nothing to lose (as they are expected to win). Made me smile as I went past them.

I think any Blades who can see the rust bucket from their back garden should move house pronto.

 

[LJBlade]

I think any Blades who can see the rust bucket from their back garden should get an automatic ticket.

As compensation?

I would suggest they phone the Good Samaritans. They're very good at dealing with traumatised people.

 

[Sean Thornton]

40000 points absolute minimum would be my guess.

Very unfair on little Brandica and Joeyessex, twins born last week who can't now go with their Dad who bought his first ever season ticket in June.

Sort it McCabe. Grrr.

 

[Davalon]

Been expected for a while this kind of figure. As others say, we'll probably give them similar.

It's all about what they charge for me. If it's under £40 I'll probably end up going.

Whilst we're on this topic of sorts, does anyone know if there's any truth in the Boro press reports quoting their copper as saying we smashed up the away end concourse?

Not aware myself but if true that sort of thing isn't going to help our cause when it comes to allocation and segregation issues, not to mention serving pop in the ground (which won't affect those like myself I aporeciate).

 

[S64 Blade]

I remember not long ago when we used to be allocated 7,200, with a few hundred unofficially in the North Stand.

Since our fans have started gobbing in baby's faces and stabbing swans at away games, it's unlikely to be anywhere near that figure.

I think they should get straight on to "Right Move". UTB

I understand that its not at the whim of the SAG - sounds like you've been listening to pig fans! The Sty and particularly the away end, is seen as outdated safety wise, I believe concourse size, the design of the bottle neck as you leave the ground etc.

As for the ticket allocation, I remember the Wendies whining when we only gave them one tier several years back and I wonder if they'll chastise their own chairman for doing the same? Will they fairy cake!

 

[UlrikaJonssonPaintTrophy]

Any idea when they will be on sale? i've got enough loyalty points to purchase at the 10,000 points allocation, but i'm not holding my breath that their will be any life then

 

[SwissBlade]

If we take the tarpaulin down will it increase or decrease the capacity?

 

[Sean Thornton]

The stand may collapse.

 

[Treeton Blade]

The mass boycott when ticket prices are announced means this will sell out in a heartbeat

 

[Isar]

The stand may collapse.

A strong gust of wind would do that.

Luckily I can't see Betty Boo on the side of it, just the supports. My own fault I suppose for choosing to live in 'boro.

I agree that the restriction is justified and not at a whim.
I was talking about the ever changing amount of restriction.
The away fans seem to get different allocations per match which seems to be what's happening at BL.

 

[Dellas Cowboys]

Dress appropriately

 

[The Crab]

A strong gust of wind would do that.

Plenty of hot air comes from their dugout.

 

[Piffle and Tosh]

good it means I cant go even if I ever wanted to .

 

[South London Blade]

you'd have to pay me £45 to go to that rusty nest of cunthawks again.
