What's the percentage of away support the FA Cup has to have allocated? would have thought there were about 8 or 9000 Leeds Utd at Salford for their cup game...

yeah there's a point there was 9 000 leeds fans at OT for the fa cup 3rd round fixture.

The two RU games were both sold to the fans with very cheap tickets which have made no difference to Sarries normal home gates which are arond 8500. I would agree with the comments re Leeds at Bradford though.

And the difference with Jr Season Ticket Holders getting in away games for free is?

Incidentally, minimum £20 to watch kick & clap at Wembley - whereas watching Sale is similar in price to watching Wire, so would hardly say tickets were very cheap...

£20 to watch Sarries at Wembley was cheap, there were family tickets on sale for £20. I agree with you re Jnr Season Ticket holders, but think thsat it's a good investment by Clubs. Does it still happen?
In Football, restrictions on away fan numbers are certainly lifted for FA Cup Matches. For example there were 7000 Barrow fans at Middlesbrough last season for an FA Cup Match, compared to the usual maximum allocation of 5000 for League matches.

3000. I'll be one of them.

Liverpool and Man United both take 7000 to Ewood Park every season.

7 000 you serious?

Yes. We both (us and United) sell our full allocation at every game no problem and Blackburn give us 7000 tickets.

The percentage of away fans in football is 15% I believe, that's how many the home club have to officially allocate anyway. The away club tend to bring the number down themselves depending on their support. The home club can not bring this figure down though.

I'm not 100% sure if there is such a rule in RL, but I'd imagine that if there was, it'd be about the same.

Our highest away following for a regular SL game is somewhere in the region of 5,500. You can choose between Wigan and Saints for that

In the Premier League the rule is 10% of capacity or 3000 tickets, whichever is fewer, hence Portsmouth with a 20,000 capacity give us 2000 tickets but United with a 76,000 capacity only give us 3000 - a considerably lower percentage but within the rules. Some clubs give more if they rely on away fans to fill the ground for them, hence Blackburn giving 7000 tickets to well supported clubs.

In the FA Cup is 15% of capacity so you get much bigger away followings if the demand is there but they can be capped at a certain level by police for security and segregation purposes if neccessary, hence Leeds got slightly less than 15% of capacity at Old Trafford this season but still far more than for a normal league game.

How many did we (lfc) take the JJB the other week?

Cheers for that. I think when I last discussed it, it was centred around an FA Cup game, which is why I had 15%
