That may be the area the SAG have not yet approved,for increased the away allocation. Given the gate was a few hundred ...

I walked past the ground earlier and saw the Club flag at full mast, which given it’s the weekend, is expected. But I hope the Club have requested the flag be lowered to half mast tomorrow, showing the Irvine and Clarets family, that Bill gets the mark of respect and tribute he rightly deserves.
