Yes that's right. That's generally how segregation works. The away stand is the away stand, regardless of how many tickets the away team sells in there There's plenty of clubs that have the away fans share with home fans. Huddersfield for example? Just have a shed load of netting down the middle, although I grant the way the Chaddy End is structured that wouldn't be as straight forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he was responding to the query raised earlier about a much reduced capacity due to insufficient trained staff. If Sky are there (which they will be) then presumably we lose a few hundred for that? How many seats did we lose on Monday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our grounds capacity is about 13,500, but we'll never be able to sell this many for safety reasons/segregation etc. This isn't just the case with us but pretty much every club, Old Trafford have a capacity of 76,000, but they only had 74,431 there yesterday. This is due to safety reasons etc @kowenicki Yes we lost about 300 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like if we got Forest Green in the play-offs and they only brought 1200 and we could sell out? We'd just leave 1,500/2,000 unused seats around?

Kusunga_Is_God Posted April 25, 2019 Author Share Posted April 25, 2019 Surely if it was properly looked into segregation in the Chadderton would be viable. Would make a bit of atmosphere at well. That being said. When the RRE is brimmed it makes a lot of noise and is quite a site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairly certain they were voted the worst toilets in English football at some point. I doubt there are 2 sets of loos (male, female and disabled) in the stand.
