Normal allocation is 1200 and can go up to 2020, wouldn't suprise me if they only gave us 1200 and sold the rest to home fans.
By FA rules dont they have to allocate away fans 10% of the capacity? Or maybe i dreamt that up :sleeping: lol
I thought it was meant to be 15% which is about 3000 subject to being able to segregate. Derby took 2300 at the weekend.
they have to give us more than they would for a league fixture im sure it is 20% of the capacity if this is possible this is why ipswich got all the vic.

Perhaps but taking the fact it'll be on TV into consideration. I'd be dissapointed if we took less but it's just a hunch.
I think we would sell out actually, I already know a fair few people that don't normally travel away that will be going. The club better take all 3000 seats.
