If we do get 2nd leg home advantage we really do need to make it our advantage and that’s south upper only for the away fans. Like the Barnsley play off game would love to see South lower full of wanderers.

Also if it is Stockport we need to give them the same amount of tickets they give us, so we could give them half of the South Lower and we have the rest including the upper tier.

Still rather half of South upper for away fans, further away from the pitch with less influence.

Don’t know if we can split the upper tier but if we can then let’s do it.

I know it is a bit of a kick in the bollox for season ticket holders, but why not make the home leg of the play-offs a tenner for season ticket holders to bring another.

Would fill the ground and give the away end the least possible.

We wouldn't be allowed to unfortunately. It's 10% or 2k minimum that you have to give as the away allocation in play off semis.

So playing Stockport would really be annoying, get a measly 900 or something and then have to give them the 2000 in the south upper.

Reading would be the ideal team to play in the play offs: they've been rubbish and we'd get at least the 2k

Stockport do not give 10%

Bang on 10%. That's what we'd get if we played them

Stockport would be a ball ache for getting tickets so for that reason i would rather avoid them.

This is from last year when we had the seats down the side.

Does their marquee hold more than the side?

Play off aren't included in your STs

Just make it tenner for everyone

Look at the link I've added for last year. Orient got 1088 tickets, exactly 10%.

Don't question my attendnoncery

Wasn't there a thing where we got slightly less, it's was impractical to give us the full 10% without compromised security ? 

If we finish 3rd we will probably have already got the results we need in the run in including Stevenage, Pompey, Cardiff and Bradford away plus Stockport, Luton and Huddersfield at home so if we are in the kind of form to get through that lot unscathed, it really shouldn’t matter who we get.

However if we go into that run in with a decent enough cushion from our March games, there may be a case for resting players the moment our playoff place is confirmed. Personally I wouldn’t but there’s always a risk of injuries.

Teams can cap it at 2k in the play offs which is what has happened between us and Barnsley, if that's what you mean? 

Or if you mean in the league matches v Stockport it's different rules, which is where we end up with 900 or so

Im right in thinking semi final dates haven't been confirmed yet, only the final?

2 full weekends between last game and the final so could feasibly be a leg on each weekend

 

They haven't been confirmed but they're broadly the same every year. First leg Friday-Sun and the second midweek. 10 days off before the final.

All at dogshit times for TV. So get ready for a Friday night or Saturday morning in Stevenage.

What i meant to say season ticket holders get two tickets for a tenner each........If they just went on open sale for a tenner  away supporters may get tickets

Giving the extra ticket when you purchase yours would eliminate this

Back on topic, I'd want to avoid Wycombe. Morley would no doubt have a blinder and they've just signed Lowe who will do much more for them than Stockport I imagine 

I think the EFL dictate a minimum price for the playoffs also. Could be wrong though.

Also there were 24.5k on vs Barnsley in the second leg a couple of years ago at £20 a ticket.

Absolutely zero chance the club are going to give up hundreds of thousands of pounds by doing cheap tickets. And nor should they really.

Fine by me, only 45 mins away.

They're a faff especially with the daft allocations, but I think i prefer having a week between legs rather than our 90s play off campaigns of only about 3 days between them.

didn't even feel like 3k missing either

felt like a full house in a play off should feel

Stockport

Mainly because I don’t want to play them at Wembley 

We're going up - beating Bradford at Wembley. I can feel it in my water.
