On segregated games only a part will be sectioned off the dependent on the size of the traveling support. The way i understand it is we only have a obligation to give 20% of our total capacity to visiting fans thats 840 slightly less then half of the new stands capacity. Oliver mentioned on twitter that away teams will be allocated between 300-600 tickets.

And how many clubs bring that amount of fans?

Isn't it a bit weird to have the bigger stand as the 'away' end? Not really Aldershot and Dagenham do it.

Been thinking about this for a while - it seems daft not to have the best stand, with the best acoustics, as the home end.
But of course it's been designed from the start with away fans in mind - turnstile access, segregation, facilities, etc, so that's that.
Except maybe it isn't. With the new turnstiles at the Town End, you could use them as segregated away access and give the away fans the TE. Not an easy solution. obviously, as the loos and the chippie would be isolated in the new away end. But it wouldn't be too difficult to provide extra loos and another chippie (or move the existing facilities, and replace them with smaller ones). But it would cost, of course, with no immediate return - so on that basis alone it's a non-starter.
But wouldn't it be great to have our own Kop?

That was my first thought. Perhaps the home fans wouldn't take the biggest area but they'd usually take the best one.
I suppose people will gravitate to what they think is best for them.

According to the latest missive from Bill, they are going to take an 'official' photo of the new stand at the Sutton game, so they want as many supporters, and as much Black and Amber in that stand as we can cram in.
So let's all at least start the game in there!
He also points out that the Stand Up for the Stones fund is still open, so those of us who haven't yet contributed still have a chance to show our appreciation (the fund closes at the end of the month).
I'm not exactly flush at the mo, but I get 'paid' just before the deadline, so my rather belated £50 will be on its way.

will the sutton game be segregated? They didn't segregate us at theirs, so I hope not.

Obviously a canny move by the management to make this the grand opening - more black n amber (or black n chocolate allegedly) in the stand for the photos!

The concourse has a black and Amber segregation fence that can be brought down and bars are set to be fitted out in the future

Can one of you enterprising internet types post up pictures of our home ground in 1997 and in 2007...just to remind us of the fabulous journey we have been on?
