Unfortunately, with the vast minority of so called 'fans' on both sides intent on causing trouble these days I quite understand that with 1000+ Notts supporters in the Osmond it was logical to restrict that end to the away ticket holders only. Simples.

What does puzzle me is that the capacity at BP is officially given as 9000+.
Over the last 20+ years or so I have never seen an attendance above 7000+ - even given 'sell crowds' against Lincoln & Scunthorpe.

What does our Safety Certificate give as our capacity?

Shame the 800 tickets not sold by county werent
Made available then. Sure, would have needed police segregation in the Osmond no doubt but tickets weren’t a available on the day for away fans so surely they knew figure sold Friday and had time to release more tickets this morning?

800 x £22 - £17,600

Never mind

£17,600 profit , minus an astronomical Bill for police segregation.......We would of probably lost money 🤷🏼‍♂️

What a draft thread, attendance was great and long may it continue.

I have a thought that the 9000 capacity might include those green seats we had in the corners a few years ago? I might be wrong, but it doesn't look logical that we can have a sellout, 1000 away fans and sit at 7000 odd.

The capacity is definitely not 9000+ anymore. I thought it was about 8.5k nowadays  

Plus we lose 140 ish seats behind the dugouts which have to be kept empty for covid rules so they are removed from capacity.

We about 1k short of actual capacity I would have thought today, by far most of which was in the osmond obviously.

As far as I've known/thought, the capacity has been 8700 for many years now.

I thought this in midweek... But then at the game i looked at the osmond at kick off and accepted that there's no way we could have done it safely.
