I struggle to pass on spare tickets, we'll not need it bar the prem plus championship with the nobbers (only just there)The main issue with giving an advantage is that our temp east gives them the whole of the side of the pitch, so no matter which way they're going they can be fully supported. As opposed to an end of ground like at other places.
Of course it doesn't mean they'll win or even outsing home fans if we're at it.
It does seem mad to turn away revenue but also we should do more to fill it ourselves, with deals and initiatives.
We've had a very up and down league 1 campaign, played in many peoples eyes boring often ineffective football and have struggled to push into the playoffs at any point. We should have at least over 10.5k home fans tomorrow still, bit it could be a lot more with some effort.
If we had generated a buzz in summer and gone with a low price strategy with some better football and actually done better we could probably be getting an extra 1k+ even in league 1.
That way this debate wouldn't be necessary as we could fill a section with our own fans.
When the east is built around 3k max seems a reasonable target for away fans, depending on circumstances, if we can fill it ourselves that's always the priority. Ideally we'd fill it and gove them the minimum, bit we are a way off that yet and under the current circumstances.
