Too close for comfort …

PNE fans with season tickets in that stand have had a letter explaining it to them.
Blackburn game I'm just thinking will end the same way.

and to be fair if they are giving us 5500 tickets we should be giving them more than half the Cricket Field

[JohnMcGreal]

Anyone with half a brain can see the no man's land needs to be bigger. Although I'm guessing they've sold season tickets in that section now, so not easy to sort out.

Maybe the club can move them? I've heard the JHL blocks 2 and 3 have a decent atmosphere.

Says who?

Surely if that was the case the tickets wouldn't already be on sale.

Maybe they've already allocated the home fans to seats elsewhere in the stadium so they can carry on selling the rest of the tickets.

If that was the case the colours of available seats would be different.

[bumba]

They'll just show up as sold seats won't they?
Fishwick Stand is just showing black you can't buy tickets in there for the PNE game.

I was at a christening yesterday and was talking to three police lads one is a gold match commander and 100 percent Blackburn fans aren't in the whole cfs, it's not going to be a bubble match because of the legal challenges after the Pne v Blackpool match last season that wasn't also I was also told in the reverse fixture at Ewood the full 8k away tickets will be available

Don’t think you can buy tickets in the CF for any game as the club stated it is full with season ticket holders.

They’re moving the metal barrier on the away side and at least doubling the gap between fans. Away capacity will reduce slightly.

Where have you heard this pal?

It’s been done. During this international break the club have removed 3 columns of seats from the away section and moved the barrier over so the fans are no longer in touching distance. They’re currently painting the steps, but by the next home game you wouldn’t be able to tell the barrier had been moved if you’d not seen it closer previously.

Brum at home on Boxing Day is potentially a flash point and Cardiff at home on the last day of the season will no doubt be stupid as usual. I've been to two home games against them on the last day of the season and they always cause havoc.

[Top Claret]

Blues rarely bring many and Cardiff will be on the beach by then

[Claretforever]

Birmingham rarely bring many, you’re right, but they’ll sell out with it being Boxing Day.

No away fans should be in there in the first place
Move all away fans into the JHL next to the Cricket Field

Will never happen. Home and away fans would be entering and exiting through turnstiles/exits next to each other and where would away coaches drop off?? Stupid idea!

[Top Claret]

Clubs who go away in big numbers like Boro, Sunderland and Sheffield United won't be any trouble as they sell to season ticket holders.

It is the small local clubs like Blackburn, Blackpool and Wigan who have few season ticket holders and who have to sell to the general public to shift their allocation who are the proble

[Goody1975]

Blackburn won't be an issue, they have a habit of returning unsold tickets this season.
