Palace or Stoke

[JULES]

Capacity ... 27,740

we'll probably get around 3,500 or so.

Would inagine the whole end.

As for 8000 at palace....selhurst is a bastard to get to I couldn't see us taking much more than half that number.

We once took a massive support there to play Wimbledon in fa cup. We were the minnows and them the giants.

I was at that one, only thing I remember was a perfectly good goal ruled out, was it dikov?

What's the allocation likely to be if it's Stoke

Already been discussed .....

in the event of 'safety recommendations' we think they're likely to give us the entire end .... 4,966 tickets.

Although i'm pretty sure that they're only really obliged to give us one eighth of the ground capacity in truth ..... and that would work out somewhere between 3,500 - 4,000 tickets.

Mind you , that's if it turns out to be Stoke .... Palace would be another matter , although their ground capacity , at just over 26,000 , is only about a thousand or so short of Stokes , i suppose it would be about how much cash they'd want to make from our visit. (their average crowd is just over 15,000 so far this season)

It's 15% so they'd give us the whole end; it's easier to police then.

No. The clubs agree it between them.

We are due a win at Stoke.

 

[Stretford Born Blue]

Should always be 15% of the capacity...But.
At the Rags we get 9000 when it should be 11300 and odd.
Its alway the full end at Stoke for an FA Cup game, thats a smidge short of 5000 which is over 15%.
We should get 4000 if its Palace based on capacity but it could be more or less, always depends on the size of stands and flexibility to accommodate more aways fans safely... And the cops..!

Hope we get Stoke.

 

[tasker]

stoke please, getting to palace is a nightmare as already posted, sure we left at 7am and got there at just after kickoff, city was already 1 up, bob taylor, 5000 at stoke will be a good day out, hopefully 5.30 kickoff on the saturday

Both of them have been bogey teams for City over the years, but Stoke's the easier trip.
