Is this the first ever tea time kick off we've had ? Trying to cast my mind back but can't think of another..and have we sold out yet, Sean seems to think it's above the 22,400 v Wednesday. Hull City at home a few seasons ago - the one where they 'boycotted' due to bubble transport Ah, yes...rescheduled due to police 'intelligence' ..now there's a thing

I'd snap your hand off for a draw now. Saturday a much harder game for us than Tuesday and I (unusually for me) expected us to beat Brighton as everytime I've seen them they've been utter rubbish, whereas everytim I've seen Huddersfield they've been very good. I take it your telly was bust last night? Ujpest Dosza - now there's a name from the past, Didn't NUFC beat them in the Fairs cup around 1969? I saw about 10 minutes of the game last night during which you were winning 1-0!
Aye, last major trophy.

Don't want to upset you (!) but around these parts we don't consider the Fairs Cup a major trophy because of the invitational nature of it (but mainly cos Leeds won it too).

Leeds were the last winners in 71 - it was changed to a proper competition the next season (EUFA don't recognize it as a European title though, strangely, FIFA does). I used to have the programme for the home fixture for some reason and the name Upset Dosza always sticks in my mind

It'll be fine Nick. The groundstaff will get the pitch under control for both sides for the rest of the season. Just need some better weather really.

We need to crank the noise up to a new level on Saturday. Blast Newcastle off the pitch.

Lets hope Schindy somehow appears

I can assure you that the only person who rates Colback is Colback, he's the worst player at our club.

80 individual single seats scattered around the stadium left for Saturday Might be hard to shift those all being single seats...but to all intents a full house of around 23,300. and just 1,900 away fans in that figure...Dean's gamble in keeping home fans in the SS has paid of handsomely, we don't have room for 4,000 away fans anymore... The stadium capacity looks to be around bang on for the number of home fans though..not been any turned away this season I don't think.

We could have probably sold your ground out. The ticket allocation have been poor for us this season and we've sold out nearly all of our allocations. I think the only game we haven't sold out was against Wigan when we still took 5,000 away on a Wednesday night. Villa were the most pathetic, they had a stand closed and refused our request for more tickets.

One whole section of about 800 in the south stand will be the segregation thats simply ludicrous when at city theres a line of stewards and a railing , so yeah Detox id say about 23 500 ish

Newcastle holds 53,000 or so, huddersfield just 24,000..less than half yours, but we've actually given you more than half what you gave us. be grateful. Anyway there are rules on this from the FA, and we comply.

Dean knew he could be losing around £400k a season but in reality this only applies where we have a sell out and are turning fans away...which hasn't happened yet. Longer term it will become more of a problem if we continue to show success be it in the Championship again, or premier League. I'd like to hope someone, somewhere has a workable permanent solution...but i doubt it. We've had the debate many times and I guess it'll come up again if indeed we look like getting promotion and are actually starting to turn hundreds of fans away..and if we do in fact go up this problem will keep resurfacing. maybe someone on the ATT panel can shed light on the longer term plans ?

If you want to play in bigger stadiums- don't get relegated from the PREM! So what if you could sell our ground out- so can we, even taking into account the pathetic allocation you have! At least those of you lucky enough to have a ticket won;'t need an oxygen mask and binoculars to watch the game

Don't go getting all "Sheffield Wednesday and Leeds" on us with the "we could have sold a gazillion tickets" routine.

Villa were the most pathetic, they had a stand closed and refused our request for more tickets.[/quote] Itsmemick i have enjoyed your posts to date, however you have completely misunderstood Huddersfield Towns position on away allocation of tickets.(or maybe you havent ) I believe we dont actually want to accommodate large numbers of away fans, we dont really want to hear you support your team. We want to place our supporters in the south stand and hear almost exclusive support for Huddersfield Town. I believe our chairman wants to allow/create a home crowd atmosphere above taking extra money from yourselves. Im not sure what the minimum allocation could be, I suspect it might be 1200-1300 I would welcome that and i believe other Town fans would. Its not a hate thing its simply about a home atmosphere being the priority. Also please dont talk about the allocation you give us like its a gift or something generous, its really undesirable to sit miles away from the pitch up in the clouds, it is a truly ridiculous stand (its been said by several other clubs)- but we understand you dont want us to be heard. Thats fine Villa and others probably think the same as us re. away ticket allocation Your chaps should watch it on the TV, its on Sky Times are probably changing some of the little clubs are getting bigger and have principles and maybe will try to fill their own grounds with their own fans. Its not rocket science. Its actually quite nice. Oh and i would drop the "we took 5000 here and 5000 there" its very old fashioned - the fans of the big boys in the premier league laugh at the "great fans, sh*te team" concept, harsh i know but that's what they say.
