It’s raining coins, lighters, spit etc round three. FA Cup Round 4.

Club has too give them the allocation where else can they be put?

Split the south stand instead of giving them the top of the stand. It’s piss easy to do but would reduce income by a few thousand due to segregation and probably shutting a bit of corporate area. Money before fans, normally I get that but this is ludicrous sticking scousers and chavs above city fans. Dear god city sort yourselves out.

Is it possible that the club are working up an argument for not giving that allocation to away fans on safety grounds? I don’t know how it works but do the club have to say at the start of the season how many they are giving and are they gathering evidence for future games to reduce that number? I don’t know, I am just asking.

This is from the FA site

”FA Cup rules allow for an away allocation of up to 15% of the home stadium.

"However this is subject to the local Safety Advisory Group (SAG) agreeing to that ticket allocation number.”

The away teams claim this (in our case 15% is around 7600). It is not a right but up to the local SAG (council, police, medics etc). Perhaps the SAG have said that it is OK for them to be up there and it is up to us to show that it is not safe? As I said, I don’t know just asking the questions.

We have shown it’s not safe (missiles), or pleasant (piss).

Arse fans are a bit less inbred than scousers and Chelsea racists to be fair.

There isn’t a set number of tickets that have to be given to away fans in cup games. there has always been guidelines but one of the most significant if not the most significant factor is fan safety. Hence if the club say gave visitors the bottom two tiers of the South Stand approx 5000 tickets then that would be fine. I remember that cup tie in 2012 against the scum when they moaned they wanted more than the two tier South Stand but got fucked off on safety concerns. So there you have it, a simple answer, you’re welcome!

Dunno can't they have the bottom two tiers probably assist in solving the problem.

Breaking News: Manchester City Football Club will be offering hard hats to their supporters located in the South stand lower tier for the upcoming FA cup fixture versus Arsenal. The hats will be £5 each but must be returned to the stewards after the game. A spokesperson for the club said “ supporter safety is of paramount concern for the club and we are delighted to be able to offer them this optional protection. We believe this is another first for the club and demonstrates our commitment to the fans.
We fully expect other clubs to follow our lead other than Liverpool FC who have said they wouldn’t be needed at Anfield as their supporters would never throw missiles or spit on fans located below them.
We would like to point out however that any home supporters using the word Tarquins will be identified, arrested and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.”
