Possibly to do with segregation in the foyer. They’re not going to want both sets mixing. Maybe they could just put a line of stewards in between like they do at the seats, but could depend on the layout of the bogs, bars etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like there will be around 1200 knocked off the capacity, plus whatever they don’t sell. Shame really. Still, never thought I’d see the day we sell out 4 days before a 3rd round tie against League One opposition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you still have two sets of supporters in the same end and that's never been a problem before, so what's the difference just because the away team has more fans there. I've never known previously when two full sections have been left clear. The Oxford game was 52,000, though they had fewer support 3.600, it was still more than a normal league away attendance.

I am guessing that some of the extra blocks Cambridge have are in the home side of the concourse? I’m guessing in the concourse there is a block between the home/away, but presumably Cambridge tickets cross over that barrier so Newcastle have kept blocks empty up until the next blockage?

Whitley mag Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Yeah must be some issue with segregation in the corner section to justify leaving 2 blocks empty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're probably right, just never even known 2 blocks to be left empty throughout the period since the capacity has been 52,000 Edited January 4, 2022 by et tu brute Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why they are leaving 2 blocks totally empty. That's probably 1,200 seats which is a decent amount of cash for Cambridge. Cambridge have already said they have approx 200 tickets remaining from their 4,920 allocation and won't be requesting any more. Just seems a bit silly.
