Ever the pessimist Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 We should be discussing this with SAG now rather than being reactive as sales progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road Runner Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 They will have the top 21 rows of the west stand upper, the top 6 on the lower. This is for segregation to stop them throwing things into fans on the lower tier. So they will get 3000 tickets in a 6000 stand. Take into account, the north and south will have the first 19 rows and 3 gangways closed. Then you have the steel barriers outside with two police helicopters in the air. I understand the SAG have decide to put 2 submarines in the don - just in case. They are also installing watch towers on the roof of the kop with a sniper positioned. The match will be live on sky and the police and SAG have decided on a 8.30am kick off -just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever the pessimist Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Remember the boxing day game a while back when a group of them came in fancy dress on the north stand? They seemed to think we should have just basked in the glory of their presence rather than politely tell them to remove themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And whilst we're at it quietly looking at what could happen for a potential Wednesday vs Leeds playoff game should it come about. Same for a Derby or Huddersfield one. Any game where we would potentially have away fans selling out. We should be sorting this out now so that the club can put in place the arrangements for home fans to have part of that stand in a big game.

owl-zat Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Financially it makes sense to give Newcastle both tiers charging them probably £42 being the same as Aston Villa fans were on the opening day of the season when they received 4,544 tickets but . . . . . . We have a good run of games coming up so who knows, we could be pushing for second place when this fixture comes round so filling the stadium with as many Wednesday fans as possible and having support in all 4 stands might be that extra man we need to spur the lads to victory. I'd like Wednesday to do one of the four offers they are allowed to per season to home fans only charging £20 on The Kop and West Stand lower tier and maybe £25 on The North and £30 on The South. We'd need to get single match tickets for this game on sale a.s.a.p to sell out The Kop, North, South and Grandstand enabling us to then release the Lower West to home fans. If we've not started selling Lower West tickets by 11th March being 4 weeks prior to the game then we'd have to turn it over to Newcastle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamK2292 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 (edited) Newcastle should get both upper and lower tier. They'll sell what we give them. Currently on a Saturday 3pm, could see it being moved to the evening game at half 5. Edited February 12, 2017 by Liamswfc92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherlyegg Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Makes sense to see where we are at the time, if it's looking good for us. Just give em 1000 and blame sag...and our utmost commitment to supporter safety. If we are 10th give em 10,000 and we have full faith in SYP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Copthorneowl Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Up to now DC has shown he has no particular reason to favour away supporters and won't give two hoots about the revenue which is small change in the grand scheme of things. My guess would be they will get a good upper west tier allocation only and we will probably get the bottom. Cant remember how much they gave us but think that will be taken into the mix when deciding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks that would be my guess then and if they all fit in the top west that's where I think they'll end up, If not the bottom but that would stop us having the top I think?

handworth52 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 what was reason Birmingham having lower fri night? was it some kind of experiment ,and if it worked they will let us have upper west? ive not seen that done before well if has has I cant remember maybe 20-30 years ago plus. if we can sell more tickets then do what forest do and give em 1800. we need to get ground up as close to 40k as possible the sooner the better. regarding losing 1000 off kop and huge areas on other stands id love to know reasons. before all seater 21k plus was allowed on kop for last 25years its been ok for 11000 now some ponce (sag) has decided only 10k allowed so that means we have all been put in danger for 25years? I really don't think we have any chance getting this sorted with sag they have got it in for us , does a leeds and utd supporter run this shower called sag?

Fair enough I have to sayi I'm not really up to speed with SAG and SYP but I do feel DC isn't really fussed about away teams. I think the idea that he will give a really good allocation to Toon for a few bob just is not likely to happen. I thought earlier this year (might be last) we shared the west and had the lower (was it Cardiff last year). But can't really remember I do however think we should offer teams what they offer us even though we can generally offer more than most others. Let them moan the likes of Forest and others always give us no more than half what we could fill. I love to go away better atmosphere than Hillsborough and the away supporters are 100% behind the team always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
