CCS away allocation

Sun Jul 21, 2013 9:00 pm

I've just been speaking to an Evertonian mate whose heard they're only getting 1,800. It probably varies from club to club but I thought it was around the 2,200 mark?

If you talking about the fa cup game they were in a purpose made enclosure on the bob bank and most of them had gone 20 mins from full time due to getting attacked constantly from all sides. They had 2000 max

Think you're right, as I remember somebody posting that we had to give them 10% or 3,000 (I know that 3,000 is more than 10% of our capacity btw :) )!

NO, for stadiums over 30k it has to be 10% 3000, but under i'm not sure :thumbup:

It'll be all their lads. Out of all the premier league clubs i expected them to bring the biggest mob. Seeing as its been over 30 years since we last played them, they're all making a concerted effort

Purpose made enclosure may have been temporary barriers at best back in the day and the odd St John Ambulance man to hold them in place . Entered the Bob Bank via the Old Canton Stand and as you say attacked from many sides.
