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%

3,983

Ta.

That was a weird one. In the past they said it was 5000 but this time they said that. When I got there it appeared to me that we had the full normal away end, so 5000. Unless there was 1000 seats cordoned off out my line of sight for no obvious reason.

Thats the allocation we were given.

It was down from other seasons probs due to standing

1. I don't think Sky would stoop that low
2. The fixture was confirmed as a Sky game before the season even started
3. Anyone who is interested in the game because Thomas is gay needs to have a word with themselves
4. I'll give him stick because he's a born and bred yawnionite, but to insult someone because of their sexual orientation is nothing worse than horrific.

I'm not saying any of these points apply to you Trout, just making a general point

there were 1600 scousersw in Lille the other week.
