My mistake. Didn't realise you were bookmarking my posts. That's sweet, but I have to tell you now, it'll never go further than being friends.


Indeed, it was your mistake. Nice of you to admit that, I was waiting for you to say that posts in October don't count, just like the Carling Cup doesn't count :oops:

Any of the city fans on here know why they are refusing to give Utd the 15% allocation (7100) that they are entitiled to for the FA cup game?


Do United always give the full 15%? I thought we usually get 9000, roughly 12%?

I think United are getting all of the south stand of 6,000. AFAIK clubs are meant to allocate 15% to away fans but that is subject to acceptable segregation arrangements. Segregation takes priority over the 15% allocation. The norm for more "high risk" games is to allocate a stand or other discrete area that is easily segregated and avoids shared entrance/exit routes to/from the ground.

Correct. Clubs have to offer the 15% if their safety certificate can accomodate it. It's not unusual for clubs such as United to have standard allocations cut due to standing etc, so it's not overly surprising.

Bang on that. LFC never stand, I love the irony of the entire KOP standing for the whole game.

Liverpool have also had allocations cut. Sunderland away a couple of years ago springs to mind.

Re: The Football Chat Thread : Thu Dec 15, 2011 11:58 am  
City have also received a much reduced allocation for the game at Sunderland on New Year's Day, the likely consequence being that there will be plenty away fans in neutral areas.

The issue at Anfield isnt so much general standing as standing in the gangways. The away stand has a particularly low roof (similar situation as Goodison). The stand was obviously designed assuming that everyone would sit, but because everyone stands it means that anyone that is 6ft or taller and is in one of the 3 or 4 back rows gets a restricted view. That's why the stand is referred to as "The Post Box" by away fans. Those fans tend to move into rows further down the stand causing everyone else to spread out into the aisles.

Personally I'm not that bothered whether I stand or sit. The problem is when some stand when others wantt to sit.

As I said, don't judge me by your standards ;)
The League Cup doesn't count for what? I'm not a fan of the League Cup, just as I'm not overly enamoured with the UEFA League.

So David Villa won't be going to Chelsea... or anywhere else. Catalan news saying he's fractured his left leg and he'll be out for around six months. I think it will be a bigger problem for Spain than Barcelona. With Villa just back from a long injury and Torres' confidence low (yes, I know that could change) I'd really like Spain to go with Soldado and Llorente as their main strikers.

Yeah I was expecting 6000 like the league cup semi final. A mate e mailed me though saying Utd are trying to hold out and get the full 15% entitlement. It surprised us both as Utd just usually roll over an give in to the police/opposition club in these situations. Think away fans get around 9200 in the cup at OT. East tier 2 (6000) and the normal away section (roughly 3200).

I used to play footy with one of the scorers back in primary school. Funny that.
