South Stand V Hull

[kingcole]

Anyone is the know, know why this wasn't partitioned?

I doubt if Hull will bring more than a few hundred. I did ATC but never got a reply.

Hull have sold more than 1100 tickets which means they cannot partition the South Stand

 

[wigman]

Hull have sold over 1300 now so they have the whole end.

Out of interest when they do partition this stand (Barnsley will be first I presume) how do they divide the concourse? Is there just big shutters down the middle? And therefore we'd never be able to fill more than half of the South stand even if the away team only brought say 100?

There is a big shutter in the middle of the concourse.

Guess there could be the barrier under the stand but netting further along the seats. Although doubt that would happen for fire health and safety reasons with the amount of people getting out of fewer exits.

Submit or die in the concourse at half time

wow - I'm amazed Hull sold 1300 - I didn't expect them to shift half that. Where is this info?

 

[Caveman]

Not a bad turn out comsidering the distance and time.

I saw it on the afc Hull City website yesterday.

First things first 1300 is a good effort for a 5.30 kick off I'm not sure we will take that many to hull.Although Brighton is a lot more attractive to visit than hull.Also I don't think that we will play a game at home this season that will warrant the away end being partioned off.I don't think there is a team in this division that has such a poor away support that a partition will be needed.

Barnsley

 

[kingcole]

Barnsley and Hull were my bankers for a south stand partition.

Was not sure about Middlesbrough, Coventry and Burnley

 

[wigman]

Coventry will sell less than 1000.

Hadn't many of them bought their tickets before they knew about the time change?

 

[champion7]

No away team will sell less than 1000 tickets this season,it's called new stadium effect.

Agree, Although I would say Barnsley on a Sunday will most likely be the only one that get's partitioned off.

 

[pottert]

I don't know this for a fact but I think for the away end to be partitioned off there would have to be less than 600 away fans

I have posted on another thread that for Barnsley the South Stand will be split.

Should be interesting to do we're the North Stand, we're the West Stand, we're the South Stand, we're the East Stand....

This is the reason I feel the end stands should have been much bigger. I can only think of a handful of clubs who have a whole end exclusively for away fans: Barnsley, Doncaster, Millwall, us. I can't think of any others. I may be wrong, but I think having home fans at both ends is an advantage. Could they consider putting the away fans in the South East corner when it is filled in?
