They are just a big club and if CCFC had any brains they's give them 5,000 tickets and make some cash.

Personally, I never want away fans to have bigger allocations than needed because the bigger the support, the more it helps your opponents.
If there is one criticism I have about this division is that teams can charge what the want. You are right down near the cheapest at £24. Norwich are charging £40 for an away ticket for a match that is live on Sky on a Tuesday night, the week before Christmas. Sheffield Wednesday charged £48 an away ticket and sold around 4,700, bringing in just under a quarter of a million in away ticket sales alone, excluding what was spent in tickets.
