Expect a couple of days, max, for the clubs to agree pricing and allocation. Then I imagine they'll go on sale to ST holders with 1100+ points for a couple of days then down a sliding of points scale for 24 hours at a time.

RFCUK
Svlad Cjelli Allocation rules say it's 15% in the FA Cup, so the probably is the whole away stand unless they can sub-divide it and the concourse in some way.

Interestingly, though, yesterday's attendance vs Newcastle was only 6,644.


According to their official website, it was sold out.. So perhaps some people couldn't make it..? Only equates to around 6.5% of people not showing, which I am sure is about average for an apparent sell out of any sporting event?

Sounds a bit high but then there may have been seats taken up with extra media presence, sponsorship or kept empty for segragation - so doesn't sound unreasonable.

Why so much more interest in an FA Cup tie over the mighty Stevenage compared to West Brom?

What a maximum of 1,400 compared to 11k home fans at the West Brom game? You talk a lot of rubbish

I live in Stevenage and these tickets were definitely sold out. With such a high profile game I would have thought that the club would have tried to get bottoms on as many £30 seats as possible! Lets just say that the Newcastle game was a rehearsal for our match and fingers crossed more seats will be available!

That would be the equivalent of a mad stad sell-out only drawing 22,500.

Romance of the cup? Been a while sonce weve had a decent FA Cup tie Away against to a lower league side.

But as for the WBA gate, i cant for the life of me understand why so many people would choose not to go to an FA Cup tie with reduced ticket prices, yet so many turn up at full price for a run of the mill League game v Leeds. Give me an FA cup tie any day.

Stevenage are currently 15th in League Two, and this will be the first time the two teams have ever played each other.

roadrunner Away stand (South), holds 1400, so we may actually get the whole stand rather than the 10% (710). It doesn't look like they could partition the stand off for both support (facilities etc).



They've done a nice job on this ground. Very tidy away end.

Really impressed with that. :wink:

That might explain the wailing and gnashing of teeth over getting a ticket a bit more.

Club reporting on Twitter that judging by the number of enquiries they have already received for tickets a lot of people in for this. Expect quick sell out.
