Stadium holds 39,732

15% of that is 5,959.8

think it depends on the stands, they’d only give 15% if it fits easily with segregation, not been there for moons, we may end up with more than 15% if we get both tiers, but looks like they give 3,300 plus an extra 1,300 from north stand, may be misreading thatvtho.

Don’t worry about the Scum as they will also be involved in a Cup match and will go full strength as they can not win anything else with their crap team.

Their cup match had better be on the same night as ours then!

Yes, and it kicked off like mad afterwards

As it did after the 6-2 as well.

Just a shame it’s a work day evening game. A Saturday wouldve been ace

Allocation will be around 5500-6000 in both tiers of Leppings Lane.

The 1-1 went on for ages. A well known lad from Chadderton got savaged by a police dog... multiple bites on his arse. Police handler was prosecuted, he let the dog off the lead and it attacked this lad from behind. Mad day. We went to a club before the game, strippers going the full hog. The club was next to a Police Station too .
