The Kop
I don't think there will be enough interest in the game, don't get me wrong I think we will turn out more than usual by a couple of thousand but I don't want to spread the home fans further. I would prefer to keep them in the 3 home stands as we wont fill them noting home capacity is just short of 18000 which is more than enough leaving Burton in the Kop
Will make the ground even more sparse. IMO if they were to split the Kop, they'd have already announced & advertised it by now.
Burton sold over a thousand before this morning
If North End aren’t to get in the play offs I’d be delighted for Burton to stay up. People talk about PNE punching above their weight, Burton Albion certainly are.

Sort of makes the argument that there are those that would like the choice and would take it.... The loudest protesters always seem to be those from other areas of the ground that just seem to want their own bit filling.... Very odd thinking.

Clubs like Burton really is what the game is about.
Just out of curiosity, would you prefer to give away supporters the town end and reclaim the kop ourselves or, is it that you only want half the kop for home and leave the away support in the other half?

A third would be nice.... Graciously given up if the away support and revinue warranted it....It worked before and I really don't see a problem.

Not if we set the away allocation at "Bugger all"
Newcastle United ticket information:
We are delighted to announce that Newcastle United have been allocated a total of bugger all tickets for our upcoming league fixture against Preston North End at Deepdale
Filled by -
Liverpool
Man. United
Man.City
Everton
Newcastle
Arsenal
Spurs
Chelsea
Burnley
Wolves (depending how the seasons going)
So you'll get your wish for half the games against teams that aren't particularly big draws anyway.🙂
in the prem we would only be obliged to offer away fans 10% of our capacity. (Might even be less) But I belueve Bournemouth offer 1146 tickets to away fans. Most allocations would be 2500-3500. And with heightened interest from home fans pretty sure we would split the kop.

I believe this to be the case as well. Same rule applies for the play offs, hence why we only got 1,100 at Rotherham.
It seems to me that football fans always want the opposite of what they are given!
Fans used to clamour for the seats at away games in the 80s. Now it’s all seated, many insist on standing up throughout not caring whose view they block.
Similarly a big clamour for the Town End to go to home fans throughout the 70s and 80s. Now we want the kop back.

If you want to sit down, specifically at away games, sit near the bottom. Fans prefer to stand at away games, as it improves the atmosphere.
I get your point though, football fans will never be satisfied.
No we don't. Its the away end now. Just a few knobs like Libs.
