irritated by the letter sent to us today? I can see the logic behind it, but are Birmingham expecting to bring 3000 fans, would it have been all ticket? My Grandad struggles enough with the Cobbold stand steps, I don't want to have to be moved high up somewhere. |  |

Yes got mine today.
Mixed feelings. Understand the point of view of trying to maximise income but these are some of the most expensive season tickets in the league let alone stadium and as you mention many long termers and some less able fans. |  |

I am but I have not received a letter yet.
I am in section B so maybe only relates to those nearer the visitors section? |  | | |

Those on the halfway line. | |

Actually, the more I think about it the more it's winding me up. I would doubt there's a chance of sitting in an equivalent seat in another section in the Pioneer | |

Right, I am level with penalty area at SBR end so not me.
If they are looking at moving people for the Birmingham game I imagine it will be quite a regular thing. | | | |

So we are letting more away fans in for the game? People on here have been begging for this for years if so, for atmosphere and cash reasons. |  |

Quite possible it's the result of the away ticket reciprocal agreement. Maybe we've agreed £25 for Brum and are expecting more away fans as a result - and we can expect £25 tickets at St Andrews?
Sounds good, albeit a pain for those in affected seats in the Cobbold stand. |  |

I'm all for getting as many Away fans in, it livens it up and wakes our lot up.
I do think however if this is going to be a regular thing they should do what Birmingham do in their away end. Don not sell season tickets for any of the seats but when the away following is small, open the block up for home fans. Would be sparse but gets around this problem. |  | | |

I've got to ask, why would you chose to sit near the away fans at PR anyway? Couldn't you sit upper cobbold but over towards the NS end instead? Same view but different side |  |

Is this Block E and T (lower tier) or does this include Block D - the old Directors box?
Have noticed the former can not be bought for STs this season, am presuming you could renew. Looks like a plan to extend away allocations, which at this time makes sense, even if it creates some disruption. |  | | |

My mate (leeds fan) does work at most stadiums in the country so usually has a decent insight on things like this. He was at Portman Road the other day and said that the club were looking at ways of accommodating more away fans. |  | | |

They sent a letter at the end of last season to all Cobbold season ticket holders, including those in D block.
Offered D block opportunity to 'vote' if they would stay if they did extend away fans allocation or move for those games.
Idea was to go almost right up to C block, right behind the so called posh seats apparently for the larger away followings |  | | |

Just hope they don't sell more to scum fans.
a) I hate the sight of them
b) 2,000 of them is top many as it is
c) seeing them gloat yards away as they extend their unbeaten run will be horrible
d) ban them from Portman Road | |

Blimey, must be around 4000 allocation. We have plenty of space, so why not, if we can find good homes for our resident fans. | | | |

It's not a permanent move, the letter said at the moment Brum and Scum would be the games were moved. That's what baffles me, are Brum going to bring more than any other team? | |

Maybe for now, would imagine Villa and Leeds would ask for bigger allocations too. Possibly Sunderland. | | | |

With the Redknapp revolution in full swing, quite possibly, yes. |  |

I'd be surprised if Sunderland bring more than 100 on a Tuesday night! |  |

Did not check when we were playing them. Midweek games are unlikely to bring sizeable followings. | | | |

Suppose if you can't fill the stadium with home fans it is OK (not) to sell more seats for less to away fans.
They really need to find a way to move cameras to the Cobbold stand seeing so many away fans on screen makes us look like a small club. |  |
