Why have we given Birmingham 1,700 tickets?

maybe that's how many they requested as they can claim as many as 3000 tickets from us

Marvin said:Should have given them just the top tier like Wigan.
Every home game will sell out now and we need all the support we can get in the run in.
that might be the top tier as away fans get about 2800

1700 is the bottom tier - 1100 the top.
The way it works is clubs are allowed to take 1700 or 2800 ( or 2846 to be precise ).
If they take 2846 then the away team has to pay for the whole amount of tickets whether they sell them or not.
If they take just the 1700 then its on sale or return.
This is really the first time that we may need be in a position to sell the other 1100 to home fans - but I think they put these on sale last ( if all the other ares sell out - as it costs money to open bar - stewards etc in the extra blocks in the second tier.
We are obliged to offer 1700 - A special agreement was made with Wigan where the agreed to take 1100. Its unlikely Brum would agree

followed by the twats trying to break down the barriers to get at us in the concourse.

we have lowered their allocation ;) im not sure by how many though
didnt make out they were friendly but in terms of atmosphere and banter was quite good. city fans were giving it back that day i seem to recall. wasnt it the 20th anniversary of the zulus or summat?Freestyler said:davymcfc said:birmingham fans always seem ok. loking forward to the banter with them to be honest.
