Only 2,400 allowed for Norwich away!

by CV6Fox (U12762)

Just read this on LCFC.com..... bit of a shame as I think we could easily sell-out 4,000.

in-case you're at work:
Norwich City advised us of their admission prices on Friday evening but, disappointingly, we received notification on Saturday that only 2,400 away tickets will be allocated. Upon further consultation with the Football Association, it has been confirmed that, despite the exemplary record of Leicester City's travelling support in recent seasons, the decision was taken on the grounds of crowd safety by Norwich City's Safety Advisory Group.

I'm lost, how is this anywhere near the minimum of the 15% according to FA regulation?

Sounds like elf 'n' safety to me

They only leave several hundred seats empty for a home league game, so why would they need to leave so many seats empty for an FA Cup fixture?

I assume this means there will be around 2000 seats left empty for safety reasons, and not given to the home fans as this would be unbelievable if they were.

As it stands, we have had 49% of our allocation withheld for safety reasons, the only way this would be fair is if Norwich City had 49% of their usual home allocation withheld; which it clearly won't be.

If Carrow Road can not support a 15% allocation for away fans, as per competition rules they should be forced to play the game at a neutral venue.

From what I have heard Norwich sold tickets to their season ticket holders first so they could have their regular seat. It might not be true but it will be interesting to see how many seats are free come next weekend
