FCUM tickets

Bearing in mind the number of tickets allocated to away supporters for the first round tie at Withdean, what is the Club's explanation for only allocating 845 tickets to FCUM fans, when there is clear evidence that more than that want to come?

Following a specially convened meeting of the Safety Adivsory Group, the club allocated FC United of Manchester, the West Stand, being the designated away area at Withdean .

This is an allocation of just over 10% and is the same number of tickets allocated to Woking in round one

We are aware that FC United do have a potentially large away following, but the recommendation from the SAG (endorsed by the Football Licensing Authority and police) was to allocate just the away end for this match - which incidentally is the first category C match at Withdean for more than five years

The Football Association have been advised of the intended ticketing allocation for this match, and FC United have also been advised.
