Someone has just made a good point on 18:38 - Mar 23 with 2629 views | bournemouthblue | Can we actually give an allocation that big? 5k as we did with Lincoln is possible but 7k would require extra parts of the South Stand given to them | |

Give the them whatever they want, it they can win the league that day they come in huge numbers. Whatever happens I think I'll offer my 4 £10 tiks to geordies | |

In all honesty, will anyone care if they are sat next to a Newcastle fan? Might be a laugh having another set of fans in with us, liven up the soulless pit that is PR and its inhabitants | |

Why stop at Newcastle, Sheffield Wednesday could bring a decent number also? The club have talked about giving bigger allocations to Premiership clubs as a future strategy We should really be capable of selling out our stadium weekly in the Premiership with the current away allocation. That goes to show how bad a job the club have done with ticketing over the years. They're not even confident they can return to the crowd sizes of around 10 years ago if we make it back to the Premiership! | |

Yeah definitely, such a huge amount of money to be made on bigger away followings | |

Won't bother me, partly as I can't make it and also it'd be better having some Geordies in the row behind me rather than the stupid women who seem surprised there's actually a game going on. But not sure the police will go for it. [Post edited 23 Mar 2017 19:37]

Someone has just made a good point on 19:24 - Mar 23 with 2448 views | TractorWood | I think they've sold every allocation given to the this season. You might have to sweep away some of the Werthers original wrappers from the Cobbold first. | |

Give them the whole cobbold, upper and lower, club have already screwed over ST holders, not like they'd feel bad | |

the great irony of being owned by a tickets guru yet being unable to sell tickets to a segment of fans when there'll be 10 - 12,000 empty seats. ITFC is a joke. | |

Someone has just made a good point on 20:03 - Mar 23 with 2274 views | SWGF | People within in the club suggested to others that we should give them the whole of the Cobbold, like Lincoln. Increased atmosphere, increased revenue. However this was turned down by some other members within the decision-making circle... | |

Apparently so Barnsley away was midweek and they had the sell out 6k away end Fulham away was on a Friday night and they had 7k sell out away end Brighton was midweek and they had a 3k sell out away end Fair play to them | |

It was discussed ages ago, internally. But kiboshed. It's like the Vicar of Dibley parish meetings brought to life. | |

Hopefully they're allowed in home pubs too. Otherwise the Station Hotel is going to be very cosy! | |

They're a big city club with a very decent fan base Regardless of your size, you still have to get the numbers, fair play to them | |

I would guess policing costs/numbers would scupper any huge away following along the lines suggested, particularly on a Bank Holiday when numbers are stretched anyway. If I remember rightly the derby which was played on the Thursday was only played on the Thursday as resources were too stretched over an Easter weekend. That said, I'm sure I had a conversation with someone at the club a while back and they were investigating how to facilitate larger away followings when the likes of Villa, Newcastle etc are about. They'd have to do that in the Premier League anyway and plans for that scenario were drawn up a few years ago.

Could easily make the hallowed £97k in one game. 4,000 at £30 less some costs. Wouldn't lose credibility with the whole supporter base either. | |
