Of course; guess i wasn't clear in asking.
Was trying to get a West stand ratio of seats to capacity figure.
Did City's 10% allocation fill the west stand completley, or did it leave some spare?

Looked fairly packed in the West stand that evening dones't that hold 800 odd? Which would have been the 10% I guess.

FA Cup is defo 15% minimum - hence we had 6500 at Villa last year spread across 3 stands! Not sure how many times at Withdean a club has actually wanted 15% in the FA Cup, if ever?? But Woking did hence they had Family & East which hold about 1200 which is about right - they didn't sell their full allocation but did sell more then East holds.

FCUM actually play in Bury, which is 5-6 miles from Rochdale. Their average home gate is about 1750...........FA Cup 1st round proper for first time, away to League 1 club 5 miles down the road on a Friday night......work it out!!

They took 3.5k to Rochdale, but that was local though. I reckon they could sell 2k for our game though

The reason we were in 3 stands was because Albion fans bought tickets in the home ends , the allocation was for the stand behind the goal and part of the Doug Ellis stand.

It's not just the seats that are an issue, you have to be able to provide a segregated area behind/underneath the stand, so you can't just go splitting banks of away fans up, or seating them in random new places.

They'll probably get the usual away end, plus a bit of the north stand if they want it. It's been done before, you just take a few seats out of the equation and chuck a few stewards in. It's not like this is some kind of aggro game.
