Can anyone answer this query for Stoke game please?

[mrfrostsdad]

I have a friend who lives in Scatborough same as me who is a Stoke fan. He gets to a few of their home games but is not a member of the 'away fans club' or whatever it is so can't get tickets for away games. If Stoke don't sell their allocation will he be able to buy a ticket for the away end on the day. And if so, where from.

TIA

They will make that decision closer to the game I imagine. Remember Leeds earlier this season didn't sell their allocation so pay on the gate was a available to them. If it looks like Stoke are close to selling out, however, they won't do it for risk of more turning up than is available.

Buy him a ticket in the home end, if he keeps quiet no one would be bothered.

This from Stoke City might answer your question (I'd get him one for the home end if he really wants to go)

Stoke City FC ‏@stokecity 
So far, City fans have snapped up 3,206 tickets for the FA Cup trip to @drfc_official and 1,851 for the @premierleague game at @LCFC #SCFC

That's what I would do. He might even enjoy seeing the game from the side rather than from behind the net.

As it stands, we somewhat ironically need 1879 more home fans to take us to a 10,000 gate for the Stoke game...

We're obviously a bigger draw than the team currently 2nd in the PL 😀

Nice. I'd really like to see a 12k+ gate with the pricing being what it is, although I guess it's a tall order to sell 4k tickets in 10 days.

We've given them 4200 tickets. I suspect they'll get nowhere near that many at Leicester"

So we've sold 5000 then?

Minimum 3000

[mrfrostsdad]

Why a minimum of 3000?
I think they only have to give a minimum percentage of ground capacity for cup games?? Maybe not.
Plus it's only £15 for the cup game. Think it will be slightly more than that at Leicester

Note to self : Put at least 8121 down for the Attendance prediction thread (coming soon) and so avoid the Turd Trophy for a second time !

[Copps is Magic]

If Stoke bring 4k then 12,000 should be feasible. We had 7.5k home fans against Scunny.

Premier league rules, 3000 or 10% of capacity, whichever is the lower
