Burnley v Spurs at Wembley top of my list

[NottsClaret]

Huddersfield away and Spurs away probably the first two I'll look for.

[claretdj]

Q. What sort of allocation do you think we will receive for spurs away?

[Leisure]

I'm sure that I've read somewhere that there's a breakfast function at the Turf that day to coincide with the release of the fixtures but can't find anything on the club website. Anyone know anything about this?

[Leisure]

Q. What sort of allocation do you think we will receive for spurs away?

Probably the minimum that they have to give us ie 3000.

[claretdj]

3000 @ Wembley leisure? 90,000 capacity, so I thought we would get a lot more than that.

[ClaretTony]

Q. What sort of allocation do you think we will receive for spurs away?

It's 3,000 in the left back corner on the opposite side to the tunnel

[HiroshimaClaret]

Really!? GET A LIFE! OK...if you want to book a holiday...fair enough! Otherwise if this is JUST needing to know when we play Bournemouth away, I give up! What with this and when the new kit is coming out!!!!!

I suppose the fact that I clicked on the thread makes me sad too! Hey ho! UP THE CLARETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[claretdom]

It is only about 12k more than Utd and you only get 3000 there. That is the max clubs have to offer.

You won't see it advertised - it's by invitation only to sponsors

I sponsored my seat when we were s**t does that count ?

[winsomeyen]

Blackburn away for me, oh hang on.

Ha ha

3000 @ Wembley leisure? 90,000 capacity, so I thought we would get a lot more than that.

If a club has a capacity under 30000 they have to provide away clubs with 10% of the capacity. If the capacity is over 30000 it's a minimum of 3000.

Spurs have already given their seating plan for next season at Wembley and the away allocation is as per what Tony has said.

Cheers.

[claretdj]

Can't see spurs filling it every game, so they could of been a bit more generous with away allocations.

[jrgbfc]

I thought from next season teams weren't allowed to stick away fans up in the Gods?

Correct and some of the seats at Wembley will be at pitch level.

[jrgbfc]

So in theory there's nothing to stop a club offering a tiny amount of tickets in the lower tier and then sticking the vast majority up in the Gods somewhere?

[aggi]

I suspect Spurs will sell it out for most matches, although it may not be full. They have about 60,000 fans on the waiting list for season tickets.

Interestingly the plan for next year is only to sell ~60,000 season tickets (in line with what will be available at the new stadium) so I guess there are going to be 25,000 or so tickets available to purchase. I imagine that for lower priority games like us they will go past the priority scheme and end up on general sale.

Possibly but don't think clubs would want away fans in different parts of the ground.

I've ordered a bowl of Sugar Puffs!

[MiltonKeynesClaret93]

Seating plan for Spurs next season.
87,000 Spurs fans in Wembley will make for some atmosphere.

They have to provide some seats at pitch level (i.e. at the front). It's lower tier at Wembley so that's fine and the only club who will need to make changes are Newcastle.

[dushanbe]

I've been invited and I've never sponsored a thing. It does seem to be a way of trying to get new sponsors on board though, can imagine it being a timeshare like experience.

[Silkyskills1]

The 'pitch level' argument is an interesting one. Was very close to pitch level at Everton this season and as many on here will no doubt testify it is an appalling view.

Same can be said about the view at Arsenal from the front seats!

[Falcon]

I assume that the 'pitch level' thing is so the TV cameras can show away fans celebrating at the side of the pitch

Not sure that's the case
Everton & Palace both locate the away supporters on the side of the main camera so wouldn't see them (although obviously there's more than one camera)

[burnmark]

Me being trivial I suppose, but is the current away end at United classed as being 'pitch level'?

[ClaretTony]

Interestingly, Man U used to include the bottom block just on the side so they might add that. They were asking for dispensation because the area in front of the away section is disabled. No idea whether that will be the case.

[cricketfieldclarets]

Spurs should have just bought wembley and england gone back on the road.

[IanMcL]

Is it the end we had against Sheff U?

If so, that's the area me and Mrs McL occupied (not all of it!)

We were at the opposite end.

[Turfiteclaret]

Think they should rename them as " a rough guide to a possible time and date when the game may be played depending on domestic cup games, European cup games, grounds not ready and wether the TV gods decide your game should be moved to a Friday night, Saturday noon, Saturday tea, Sunday noon, Sunday afternoon, Monday night etc etc" The word fixture perhaps is a tad optimistic in planning your diary around.
