Sunderland have recently chucked em up in the gods like Newcastle did as well.

Leicester - put us in the corner.
Leeds - put us in the corner
Palace - put us in the corner
Derby - put us in the corner
Burnley - put us in the corner


Just off the top of my head.

Slight corrections here.

Burnley is at an end behind a goal and Palace is at the side of the pitch. Also Derby (excluding the PO game) had us at an end. Plenty of games we have had away fans behind the goal, but still one. It makes pretty much no difference unless your taking a penalty at the away end.

It couldnt happen at the Amex now anyway due to STH locations with match-by-match only being in the South (behind goal) and WSL, as well as dotted sporadically around the ground.

Although Burnley and Derby were indeed at an end, they were both much further into the corner than where Derby fans will be Thursday night. And it's you're not your :)

They Should sort this out and put away fans in east stand and se corner. Leaving most of south stand for us.

We tried something similar last Season by putting the away fans in the South East corner with some blocks in East, and some in South.
We dropped that as I guess that away fans were not willing to pay the extra for the tickets in the East.

IIRC it was dropped because of bitching by BHA fans in the ESL.

How big is the South stand? No tickets on sale to home fans in the middle yet so maybe we will give them move if home tickets don't sell out.

The old south stand before the corners were added is 2580, which is exactly what Derby's initial allocation was. I suspect the allocation included only half of S1F and a bit of S1B. The extra tickets will now, IMO include all of S1B.

S1A is quite small, so even if the segregation area was tiny, there probably would not be more than 100 or so home tickets available here. Half of S1F on the other hand can hold over 300. If the club wanted a minimum segregation area or say a couple of rows, then we could get away with losing just 50 or so seats, so there is the potential for another 250 here.

I could have got it wrong and Derby have already been allocated most of the western half of S1F, but I doubt it, as it would make sense to release this (and reduce the sterile area) only if demand dictated.

The only way we are likely to know for sure before the game is if we can shift most of the 2000 seats that are currently available.

This would be the first game in which there were actually 30, 000 bums on the seats though, as opposed to including those who didn't attend.
