Those upper away end seats were on sale a few days before and only by phone. The club also made no attempt to publicise it either. There were people on here last night pointing out they wanted to go but there were no tickets online.

The start of the 25/26 season is more realistic. It's at least an 18-month build - let alone the demolition of the existing stand. It's not likely to start until late 2023...Thought I’d heard or read this week that the start of demolition and project won’t be considered until council stump up some cash for witton station improvements . That’s partly the reason the club haven’t contacted current North Stand ST holders re relocation yet

I am assuming the Lower terrace of the North Stand will be kept open subject to timing.
I wonder if the front rows weren't put on sale for 'safety' reasons.

I had the feeling they wanted to shift a few up there but only limited numbers as it might have created stewarding problems having home fans above away which never really happens usually. Hence phone booking only.
Unless they've changed very recently the required allocations to away clubs are a minimum of 3k, unless ground capacity is under 30k, then it's 10% of the ground's capacity. So unless we get special dispensation we'll still be giving away sides approx 3k.

I don't know if that's right or not.15% is regardless of ground size in the FA Cup. It's only 10% in the PL if the ground capacity is lower than 30k. So a 25k capacity ground is meant to offer 2,500, 15k 1,500, 30k+ be it 31k or 80k is a minimum of 3k.
