There are currently around 50 home tickets left available to buy all in poor positions and a queue to get in on the ticketing website so it’s plain to see this will be another home sell out . Sellout in any reasonable construction of the English language is when no tickets are available to buy. There have been around 7 or 8 occasions this has occurred this season and we are17th in League Two . Anybody who thinks we don’t need more home capacity is either disingenuous or very stubborn and can’t accept they are wrong

No tickets at all left in The Upper, Lower or Pontoon today according to the OS and about 20 (non-restricted views) left in The Main.

I think Jason Stockwood's answer regarding capacity was all about managing expectation. They have a clear plan to get things right on the pitch and support that with improved infrastructure. I would rather they prioritised that now than be distracted by an expensive relocation project. Andrew Pettit also stated that they are looking at ways to improve capacity at Blundell Park. Relocation has not been ruled out, just pushed down the agenda. Rightly so in my opinion.

I think relocation is a long way off. AP referred to something better than temporary seating in the obvious areas available (can’t remember the exact words). That indicates to me they see us at BP for the medium term at least.

Agree completely about managing expectations - that’s what’s it’s all about.

Can we introduce a policy for away teams - you can have 500 tickets or say 600 to 1,250, and we charge them for 600 if they take the bigger allocation and don’t sell them. Is that permitted? That would take home availability to 8k for games against the poorer supported teams.

No we can’t there is a minimum required allocation for away supporters of 10% of certified capacity. Our capacity is still stated as 9500 ( even though it obviously isn’t) so that’s 950

A better way to manage expectations would be to say we can’t afford it at the moment not say we are running 2-3k short of capacity so it’s not needed . That just makes him luck either out of touch or disingenuous

So I assume we have to ask them to take the lower allocation in the Osmond corner but they can refuse? Harrogate fans were going in the corner. That means we could lose revenue. Colchester won’t bring 500 today. They could have been given the corner.

I’m 100% sure the club are aware of the demand or perceived demand and if there was a need to add extra seating they would.

After the supporters forum, a big cup run and a strong forward momentum it feels like people are just creating sticks to beat the club with so they can assume their default position of being a moaning s0d.

I’m not sure anyone is looking for a stick at all. I totally get the owners position on this. They’re not daft and will know exactly when a lack of capacity is costing them revenue. As a consequence, I’m pretty sure that they’ll know when it’s time to move.
