JPT on Monday 1st September, but that could always be rearranged if necessary. Not sure about City's commitments, though.

Can't get onto Sky or Setanta at the moment?? Anyone else having this problem?

in 'the good old days' any replays were played the week following the Saturday tie but the police decided that they needed 10 days notice to man the matches so they refused to allow clubs to play the matches. It was all changed to allow the police a 10 day breather to organise the replay. I think that under the terms of the licence etc to use the ground they would refuse to allow the match to get ahead if they were not entirely satisfied with crowd segregation,which could be difficult at Withdean if any other area than the away end was given to Man City fans. I would expect them to be given the away end only, much as they may possibly complain. The over riding factor is safety and at any part of the ground. ie. family stand or thereabouts presents problems with leaving under the bridge and would necesitate trhe away fans saying in for ages after the game to clear the area thus causing possible train/travel difficulties, espec ially at Preston Park station.

I think that common sense will prevail and they will be given the away end only.

Away fans leave under the bridge anyway !

And always used to when the away stand was that end, and on Tuesday when Barnet had the East stand

A little be different with 50 Barnet fans than over1, 000 Man City, especially if we won.

Internationals that weekend, so players will be with national squads

 

[BensGrandad]

And when the away stand was at the east end ?

The ground capacity has increased by over 50% since then.

Bollocks

I am on holiday the two weeks after that as well

So

The point was away fans going under the bridge, and in fact when the away stand was at the east end is had more fans in it than the away stand does now and also we are getting lower attendences now also

 

[BensGrandad]

The difference being the number that would attend that particular match, which will be a sell out, as opposed to our normal. The away capacity at present is higher than it was when they had the East Stand plus we have never played any team at Withdean with the support of Man City, so I am convinced that the police will say it is a safety and security issue and add their twopenneth.

May well be the same as the Swindon game in that Swindon were given the family stand and part of the north stand, that could have got much more ugly than a league cup game will do!

Would be surprised if Man City didn't get J block (didn't the Coventry fans get this a few seasons ago) Especially given the walkway between the away stand and J block.

FINALLY the content starts relating to the thread topic again.

Is it just me or have there been too many threads recently that seem to be hijacked for discussion over multiple pages regarding the complexity and highly skilled nature of the profession of STEWARDING.

Sake - It's hardly biochemistry is it? If we ever have our own resident atom physicist then we could be looking at 900 pages.
