you should be made to play a couple of home games behind closed doors asumming you can get them on for the amount of time and money you have wasted other clubs and fans in recent years.

It may not indeed…

They’d probably have sold more before the last few days. Now we’ve probably maximised the demand.

As long as going forward we are able to provide room for 2000-3000 away fans, then all is good. When we start getting 5000 home fans regularly, it can be looked at again.


Doesn't the Willbutts hold about 3500? I see no reason why every last seat can't be sold, that was the point of putting them in there

The logistics of dealing with capacity crowds needs revisiting, including if GMP have input

For instance, at some Premier League grounds (as far as i can make out) away fans are separated from home fans merely by a low wall, or even a single line of stewards. There's clear daylight between stands at COA

As for the Carlisle decision, the club taking a stand (pun intended) on restrictions to Dale support away indicates our new prowess in not taking nonsense from anyone, and i support it

same to you Judd.

that very same sign is still their and in use it gets updated for every home game a video is even made of the guys changing it and goes online.

I remember Sweeden we were all walking up from the S&C when you noticed! good times then, i also remember you saying how good it is and you lot should get one on the old message board, the good old days eh!

It could do with abit of a spruce up tho i think, been their a very long time now it survived 2019 and then covid.

Can't understand why everyone is getting so wound up over this?

Why offer opposition teams any kind of psychological advantage when they come to our place? A full stand of 3500 fans, outnumbering our own? No thank you.

We're trying to get promoted and we should do whatever it takes. Even if that means doing ourselves out of potential income. That money will be a distant memory if we go up.

Correct decision.

Carlisle have been treating away fans abysmally this season. They only bolted 66 seats onto the open away terrarce after being threatened with legal action. If you have a disability or are elderley and struggle to stand up they basically put two fingers up to you. It's first come first served with those seats and you can't reserve which seat you want. Treating fans like cattle. It's a long trek up to Carlisle in winter and to deliberately move away fans into a open air terrace with no shelter from the elements and very few facilities is callous on their behalf. If other Clubs are responding accordingly to their fans being treated like that then you can't blame them.

If Carlisle fans have a beef about away allocations they should take it up with the clowns who run their club and ask them to explain the reason behind it. Your point about giving the home psychological advantage away is a good one. We should limit the York tickets also because they've been arsey with visiting fans over the last couple of seasons. Give them a 1000 tickets and we'll sell the rest if it's a title decider.

This.

Don't know about anyone else, but I would personally pay the cost of another season ticket right now to make up for an empty seat in the away end if it meant 3pts at every home game from now until the end of the season.

less away fans the better if you need promotion and not desperate for the extra income
