Capped at something like 2300 for Barnsley and Bolton. Seems incredibly short sighted. Why would you not want full grounds for hugely important games? |  |

I can't find a radio station broadcasting it either. |  |

It’s on ESPN here but there’s no commentary, just crowd noise. Which is kinda a nice change. | |

Think it’s a tit for tat thing between the clubs Illy
Think Bolton gave Barnsley only 2.5k for the reverse fixture |  |

It was the clubs I think.
Barnsley gave Bolton what they gave them. |  |

I think it's the clubs doing it. Too important to give the away side the edge of big support.
Saw somewhere that Barnsley gave almost exactly the same amount of tickets to Bolton as they were given. |  |

Yeah. Bolton asked for more in a reciprocal agreement. Barnsley said no, so Bolton opened up thier lower tier to home fans for the first leg.
Barnsley losing 3-0 at home in front of 4,000 Bolton fans and 5,000 Ipswich fans this season probably made that decision for them! |  | | |

A big round of applause for both clubs deciding to miss out on thousands of pounds worth of ticket sales and depriving fans the opportunity to attend massive games. | |

MK Dons did this last season. Allowed us 7k, but gave Wycombe only 2k split between upper and lower tiers for semi play off. Total attendance 13k. [Post edited 19 May 2023 20:33]

Thousands of pounds yes, but peanuts if they win promotion as a result. | | | |

These games are so big I think you need to maximize home advantage. Give the away team as little to feed off as possible, hence why they're also confined to the upper half of the stand.
Looks naff on TV for sure. | | | |

At least fill the gaps with home fans though! Bolton had their fans in the lower tier on Saturday. | |

The away stand at Oakwell is one tier with a shared concourse, there would be no way to segregate fans there. | | | |

Didn’t we do this the other day?
Max the clubs have to give for the POs is 2000 or 10%, whichever is lowest. |  |
