There must be a loophole in the rules or something because I'm sure if we actually had to then we would have done.

I also undestood the 15% rule to be true. I also understood if it was to be below 15%, then it had to be agreed by both clubs. From what has been posted here, it seems FCUM are not agreeble and have asked for more tickets.
I honestly thought the decision would be whether we give them the East stand AND the west stand (2500, 29%) or just the East Stand (20%), but not just the West Stand (850, 10%)
If Brighton's misguided view is that by giving them less tickets will mean less trouble they are so wrong. It will be a load more hassle with a few hundred FCUM in the south stand.
Use your brains - give them the whole of the East Stand, then make a decision on Tuesday as to whether we will fill the West, or they can have that too!

Quite agree. Can you imagine if it were the other way round!! This place would be in meltdown.
I feel sorry for them, every game in this competition from probably the 4th qualifying round has been their cup final (they've not got a great deal to cheer about in the league). Give them more BHA!!
Won't they need to be registered STH, blue or white members to buy tickets in the south stand? and then it's only one per member?
If FCUM only actually got 900 enquiries then surely, given not all of them will turn into a ticket sale, the Albion are trying to prevent having unsold seats by only giving them 10%. What do they do if they allocate the East stand and then find FCUM only sell 700 tickets ? Sell the West stand to home supporters ? I for one would never buy a ticket in the West stand !

Hotdogs, extra onions
There is some quirky loophole over segregation I think.
Also the pitch invasion at Rochdale probably didn't do them any favours!

Abort, retry, fail
Disappointing that we are not giving them more. A stupid decision if we do not get anywhere near selling out the home allocation.

The 900 they speak of, was just a list of people who might be interested. This was before they even knew who they would be playing and on what day. I know most FCUM wanted to play BHA.
Personally, I think we would struggle to fill the North and South stands for this.
Who in their right mind (BHAfans) is going to buy a ticket in the east when its the samr price as the south?
I am an east STH, and I cant wait to move to the south. The East will be empty. The south and North wont be full and FCUM will have a shit view for the biggest game in their history, and only 850 can be there.
Bad decision.......
Give them the East Stand and hold back on a decision on the West until Tuesday. By then, if FCUM have sold out, theywill have asked for more, and we can decide whther to give them or not, depending on how our own sales are going. I agree, not many BHA will pay for the West.
As for them getting in the South stand. I think they will find a way!
Seeing as many of our own whingers complain about how difficult it is to get a ticket... what evidence do you have to support this rather rabid suggestion?
They should have their full entitlement if they want it, and shame on the Albion if they're trying to wriggle out of it on some spurious 'security' issue. Loads of clubs have both sets of fans in the same stand without any bother at all. The idea that FCUM absolutely must have their own stand is utter nonsense.
As others have said, if our allocation for an away tie got cut by a third, we'd be up in arms.

Many FCUM fans will have either bought a ticket in the past, or have a friend who did. Remember, they come from all over!
And, not that I would condone, but there is always the ticket exchange.
BUT, should not come to this, give them their 15%, or even 20% (west stand too) and lets look forward to a great game and atmosphere at Withdean
