How many fans are you expecting Vale to bring?None taken.
Away allocation for league games is 3,000 which is the edge of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd tiers of the stand behind the goal, but typically for Cup games away fans get 5,500 in the top tier of that stand. On occasion City have given sides the top tier plus extra blocks in that stand, but 5,500 is probably the most likely.
I'll be going to this game. Just waiting for the ticket details to be announced.
