Hopefully they only give them top tier again 

 

I have mixed feeling on this as my brother in law was on the lower tier last season and said they were getting coined throughout the game and spot on

 

Not sure how you police it, but I wouldn't let under 18's on that bottom tier

it's a shame the LL lower is so old and battered we can't open all of it, otherwise we could put them there and us above like they do to us

Fence off the bottom 20 rows of the top tier. Reduce the number of fans, then allows for a safer experience for home fans in the bottom tier.

We have to give 10% or 2000 tickets - whichever is the greater.

 

Facilities for visiting supporters

35.7.1 Each Club must make provision for at least 2,000 visiting supporters at every home match or such number as represents 10% of the Club’s certified capacity, if less than 2,000. The League may, on the prior written application of a Club, suspend this Regulation or reduce the figure either for a particular League match or for a period of time. Each Club shall, subject to any dispensations granted by the Board, make provision for at least 200 of the visiting supporters (of which not less than 100 must be seats) to be accommodated under cover. Any Club which fails to meet the requirement of 200 visiting supporters being accommodated under cover and which does not have a dispensation granted by the Board shall have such amounts as the Board shall determine (in its absolute discretion) withheld from that Club’s central distributions from the Pool Account until such time as the Club can meet the requirement.

tbf the club have always done that, but we give them the exact same they give us which is about 2,300 I think.

 

Makes no difference as coins are easy to throw and they go some distance.

I read this ^^^ as being the lesser of 10% capacity or 2000.

So 2000 in our case.

Wondered before but think I know the answer, though it's been 25+ years since I sat on the West Stand. Is there any way the stand can be halved in it's present state? By that, I mean both Owls and Blades have half the top and half the bottom tiers, with netted off seats and police creating a barrier down the middle? Most stadiums seem to allow this, but I get it's the West Stand (history to consider) and that the facilities might not be located to meet the requirements of a half/half split.
