[gripper stebson]

Following on from the news that it'll probably be Spurs has any announcement been made yet as to whether STH will get their actual seats for the game?

well they can't all ave them

 

[gripper stebson]

That's what I was thinking. Is a binfest to ensue?

 

[BensGrandad]

I would think that STH will be given the option to buy their own ST seats as this will be a full capacity match, I thought.

 

[BensGrandad]

Why not it will be the first full capacity game as far as I was aware.

I thought the first full capacity was the opening league game. This game is the final ramp up event i think

17000 only and including 1901 we've sold more than that, also has to include away fans.

I doubt if there will be any away fans considering the circumstances

 

[BensGrandad]

I thought that we had to have one game with the full certificate in place prior to the league starting but I could be wrong so dont jump on me if I am, just possible crossed wires.

 

[Mr Burns]

I thought that we had to have one game with the full certificate in place peioe to the league starting but I could be wrong so dont jump on me if I am, just possible crossed wires.

I dont think so. Im sure i was told the "big" friendly is the final ramp up, and will gain the safety certificate

I thought this as well.

So to summarise, STH won't have their seat they bought for this game (against spurs on the 30th) then?

 

[BensGrandad]

Why should away supporters be included as their is surely no obligation for friendlies.

If that is the case surely we will have to have a near maximum crowd to ensure we can cope before they issue a certificate. Using an obscure reasoning if they granted the certificate with a crowd of !7000 it could be that we can cope with 17000 but not 22500 and if they have granted the certificate after a crowd of 17000 it is then too late to rectify any problems, like crowd evacuation etc..

Because it is the final ramp up event, and the test to get the safety certificate?

 

[BensGrandad]

As I said in another post we may be able to cope with a crowd of 17000 but not 22500.

eh? dont get that, Spuds fans would like a weekend in B-Town and to see a nice new little stadium...unless something else is a foot of course of which you are referring too?

 

[Thunder Bolt]

There were some problems last year following the friendly with Aberdeen (and Spurs links)

STH's didn't buy a seat for this game.

They bought a seat for league games.

Simple really
