A win (or even a draw) by the Latics on Tuesday should see them all snapped up!

Blimey, I might not be able to confirm my attendance before they sell out. If we score and you see someone going mental in the home end, that’ll be me.

We always used to offer away fans the option of seating under cover though, can't think of an occasion where we have only offered away fans a terrace

Not sure if it's up-to-date but this used to be the EFL Rule.

34.2.1 Each Club must make provision for at least 2,000 visiting supporters at every home match or such number as represents 10% of the Club’s certified capacity, if less than 2,000. The League may, on the prior written application of a Club, suspend this Regulation or reduce the figure either for a particular League Match or for a period of time. Each Club shall, subject to any dispensations granted by the Board, make provision for at least 200 of the visiting supporters to be accommodated under cover. Any Club which fails to meet the requirement of 200 visiting supporters being accommodated under cover and which does not have a dispensation granted by the Board shall have such amounts as the Board shall determine (in its absolute discretion) withheld from that Club’s central distributions from the Pool Account until such time as the Club can meet the requirement.

So FGR ought to have 188 seats for away fans, not the 100 they have put in. They presumably have an exemption, but I imagine that they go up they will have to spend money on the ground to meet the rules.

What about the covered standing, doesn't this count towards that total?

I can't even see that they have offered 100 seats, where is that an option on the Ticket News?

I think they're still very much on for building their new (to replace the already pretty new) stadium. When I was in Stroud in February I remember seeing a model of the proposed ground in a shop window (presumably an Ecotricity shop).
