2,681 for Derby away!!! What the ****!!!

[Jim Wonk]

For some reason I thought we might get 4000+ and I might have a chance of getting a ticket. No chance now. Bluddy bleedin bas*****

[royalowlisback]

Aren't tickets limited there for every team this season, or did I imagine it?

[Beighton Owl 87]

Why would they give us more than that if the demand is there for home fans?

[sage owl]

Don't we usually get a lot more than that  ?.

[S6owls]

Early KO, police ? Other than that I dunno give them lower end when they visit

[alanharper]

Seems pretty similar to what we've had there in more recent seasons tbh, I think last time we had a big allocation there we took about 6k in 2012 (wow, was it really over 10 years ago?!) when we came back from 2 down to equalise in the last minute and taught Derby the bounce song which they subsequently nicked and butchered. And for some reason they thought they were it when singing it at us the last time we played there, which is a bit like Rolf Harris doing his godawful rendition of Stairway To Heaven in front of Robert Plant and Jimmy Page and thinking he looks reyt cool.

Apparently Oxford got 3100 earlier this season.

Wouldn’t be the worst thing Rolf’s done to be fair

Port Vale and Bristol Rovers did too.

Early kick off is because England will play their second round game that afternoon if they finish second.

The return match could be really important, Wednesday need to ensure Derby only get exactly the same amount of tickets and last game we will sell out

Dunno but I'm sure Bristol Rovers and Oxford have plenty of numpties so I would say that is an imagined narrative.

How many did they actually sell?

Think they both sold out. It’s not far for Vale, and Rovers have a decent following, especially to a ground they will rarely, if ever, have been.

[Groundhopping Owl]

Think away followings are still in the corner rather than behind the goal where they used to be.

 

Bad on two fronts since it's a smaller allocation and that concourse is way too small, it can be downright dangerous at half time.

[Wednesday_Jack]

Running on pitches, arguing/fighting with stewards, throwing things at players/on the pitch…it doesn’t take long for clubs to realise it’s not worth the hassle and extra police costs. 
 

Reducing the allocations will certainly reduce the amount of trouble. It won’t eradicate it but it will make it easier for police and stewards.
