Cuts down on the segregation and stewarding needed as the far left blocks are separated from the stand on the side of the pitch. If it was sold from behind the goal going right, 2 segregation lines would be required. Happens at every ground where the stands aren’t attached.
Is this the first time you've bought away tickets?

I’m definitely waiting till Friday now when al6 opens
I’m fully aware of the reasons behind it, it was more a rhetorical question. Never seems right to give those fans who travel nearly every week the worst seats selection to start with. It’s not as if we won’t sell it out.
Well perhaps you could let TB know that you'll cover the cost of any that don't sell out rather than the club! Agree unlikely it won't sell out but it's been this way for years. Also, it's subjective which are the best seats.

How are these selling?

Yes, as it happens there is.
Away fan sections in most grounds tend to start in a corner or end of a stand and spread across towards the centre where there will be a segregation area before the home fans carry on. To maximise sales clubs will want to sell any spare tickets that the away club do not use to their own fans. To facilitate this the segregation area can be moved/adjusted within the stand whereas obviously the corner/end cannot be moved. So, unless an away club is very confident that all will sell, the tickets are released starting from the corner/end and as sales carry on then blocks closer to the centre become available.
I will say that in the past i have criticised the club on occasion for being over cautious, however i feel they are definitely improving in that regard. As an example it was pleasing this year that the whole of the away section at Chelsea was released in one go rather than corner first.

Early on the club only released AL9 and AL8 but they then pretty quickly also opened AL7.
Block totals are as follows:-
AL9 434(includes a section of 60 seats which have not yet been available, poss club comps)
AL8 757
AL7 844
so just over 2000 released so far. Currently still available 342 in AL9, 259 in AL8, 489 in AL7 total 1090.

Hope I don't get to have another argument with a Liverpool fan in the away end again.

Was it resolved by the use of the phrase “calm down” by any chance?

AL8 might just be half sold, the others barely even a quarter.
Have to say would be going to this any other time of the year, but so close to Newcastle it can't be justified in my household at least

i know it's subjective but if I was only doing one of the two I know which I'd plump for.
