As a Don Amott dweller I can only see it as a sensible business decision by Ben. Sad that the lack of support could mean more support from away fans than we can muster.

Difficult to see how Burton fans can show their interest to be in the Don Amott stand if they can't buy tickets for there?
So, if you are a Don Amott dweller and want to stay there, how do you go about things? Buy a ticket for the Popside and look to transfer to Don Amott if club decides to sell the Don Amott to Burton fans?
It is a muddle of a statement.
I cannot see how it can work.

Burton fans dont show their interest ,that is the problem, having away fans at both ends,will certainly be difficult policing. Splitting the pop side seems the m.ore logical.And would help keep the fans segregated, 3000 away fans should give us a gate of 5000,again this should be the end of our interest in the competition, 2 Premier league clubs 7-500 gate,sorry Ben Just hope it is on sky. I am pretty sure though the club have done a lot of soul searching,

So when is the cut-off date that the fans have to buy or not to buy a ticket, that is the question? That is the tickets that aren't on sale at the moment. The wording is we need to fill the stand with home fans, we won't know will we, cunning way of dealing with it, not! I don't say much negative against a well run club but on this occasion I'm dismayed at this announcement.

It looks like it could get a bit messy.
If they have expressed an interest in 3,00 tickets, how many is that above away end and usual (safe) seated allocation?

I'm a popsider so it doesn't impact me...
But if I was a Don Amott person... As Ian said... What the hell do you do?
Wait it out? I guess there'll be a ticket going spare in the popside.
Hard to judge demand.
What I'd consider doing is having home tickets for the Don Amott on sale, if there's capacity remaining in the Popside then transfer all of those tickets to the popside. Sell the tickets on the caveat that if there's not enough then home fans will need to go in the popside with their Don Amott ticket.
I don't think that'd be too hard to orchestrate.

Only sensible option.

Just print them with home on, if it goes to away fans in the end print it with away on. The ticket checkers can check as people go in. Easy

Hard to judge demand nobody? The demand hasn’t been there for seasons and despite working miracles we only see apathy and criticism. Let’s get sone money in - we play better away anyway.

I totally agree we should let more away fans in makes complete sense. I think the logical way is to split the pop side. Is the reason they are doing it this way easy to manage without spending money on a barrier. Why not use the money we make on creating a barrier we can use all the time.

I don't think the issue is segregation in the popside. The issue will be related to the facilities at the back of the stand. Only 1 set of turnstiles, bar and food kiosk for example. There are probably health and safety regs with the two doors for the bar for example which means you wouldn't be able to filter fans left and right through the turnstiles without them still both being able to enter the bar. There are other practical things too re: space. The easier solution is the west stand.

Away fans in the west stand?? Good grief, surely not...... I wish I could quote the other thread 😉 I will be giving this one a miss Giving games a miss seems standard for the Burton area,and supporting a club comes second, Leicester have been given a standard away allocation,for the 4th round of the Carabao cup. So any one supporting Burton can get a ticket, this leaves 5000 spaces for the Burton public,to see the game. But you would rather a lucrative game like this be watched in comfort by the 2000, who bothered with Bournemouth. This is another big game in Burton's history and the players deserve a big match atmosphere, And Ben Robinson is at a cross roads does the club grow or decline Events on the pitch have out grown the area . 8000 Forest fans travel to Arsenal in mid week for the 3rd round..Over 28000 watched Derby in their new 5 year plan after a week of turmoil,putting it polity. it wasn't long ago in Burton we played these clubs,and gave a good account of ourselves. It is off the field we Fail. I support Ben Robinson and what he has achieved,Nigel Clough supports him. And if a Stadium holding a capacity of 6=900,, 1-700 away fans leaves only 4-500 home fans to compete with top clubs,Cannot be achieved, some serious thinking has to be done by the club.=====4 non=league teams have better gates====15 league 2 clubs have better gates==20 clubs in league 1 have better gates. Burton Albion have a problem long term. Gates have to improve. So 3000 is our base. I support the area.and if keeping top football at the Pirelli requires change. I am with Ben Robinson and the club====Giving the Don Amott stand up would not come easy, Nigel was a big supporter of giving the south stand at pride park to the home fans, and putting away fans were they belonged in a corner. .Be super if we could do that at the Pirrelli. But alas we are a different beast, No home fans,just 3000 Brewers but passionate. could be 2999,a little bit more room for 50=50 split. just to put salt into the wound, Everton fans can watch the match for free,on their t-v station. Shows what you can do ,when you have a big ground,and big support, you can bring free bees in, Me little old Burton cannot make it== £10 ifollow

I wish I could quote the other thread 😉 I will be giving this one a miss I have to say I am surprised by the West Stand potentially being given over to away fans for the reasons I gave before and I stand by those. If I am wrong then at least I will come on here and admit to it. Presumably the safety people and Police have agreed to this option should it come into play as ticket sales go on. My main issue with your post previously was that your numbers didn't stack up. But if you intend not to be there that is just 4,499 Burton tickets to fill areas of the ground with a capacity lower than 4,000. It remains to be seen how the people of Burton react to the game. Hopefully we will not need to give over both ends of the ground but if we do then we appear to have a willing audience from Leicester to help swell the coffers.

The Burton people aren't being given a chance yet of purchasing tickets for the home end of the ground therefore how can anyone at the club gauge interest between them and Leicester fans, go figure?
And just to add... Leicester city say they have been allocated 1701 tickets for this game, they go on sale 6th October.

Doesn't seem like rocket science to me. Surely they will gauge whether demand for pop side is above or below normal levels. If it is above they will release West Stand to Brewers fans. If it is below they will release West Stand to Leicester fans and tell remaining Brewers fans who were hoping to stand there that there are tickets available in the pop side.
Not saying it's a good thing. Just thinking through the logistics.

Not saying it's a good thing. Just thinking through the logistics. Yes, you're right. Having quizzed the club about it tonight, that is exactly how they are thinking. But I also think Ian's point is bang on and I've said this to people at the club. How can they gauge demand for a terrace which isn't open? I have asked the straight question: will people be able to transfer to the end if they've bought a Pop Side ticket and then the end is subsequently opened? I've asked this of the club's media people and they cannot give me a straight answer tonight. Their hands are tied. I respect that (the club's current media people are the best they've had, full stop). I have suggested to them that it's an ambiguity they need to clear up. Watch this space....

Owing to the unclear messages being announced regarding ticket sales for home / away support I think the attendance figure may suffer.
