Away Allocation

[GrimsbyTownFAN]

Hi Slough Fans, 

Looking forward to visiting a new stadium.  Whatever our allocation is we will 100% sell out. However, what will our allocation be?

 

Regards

Grimsby Fan.

Hi Grimsby Fan,

No idea, I’m sure when we know exactly when the match is, and whether it is moved for TV, the Club will be in touch.

I think because of our average home attendances of 800 we only have an official capacity of 2,000 (which we filled for past FA Cup matches with Rochdale & Gillingham), but our Club might be able to increase that if you were bringing a big following down.

Hi Grimsby Fan,

Our ground capacity is currently set at 3,000.

It's possible for safety reasons the maximum attendance could be set lower than this at around the 2,000 mark.

The allocation given to Grimsby will more than likely be decided between the two clubs.

Plucking a figure out of the sky do you think you could easily sell an allocation of say 500 tickets?

Just seen your post Curtis.

I'm sure I read that our stadium capacity was changed to 3,000 a while back.

We will sell the full allocation given, we take 1000-3000 every away game. The demand for away tickets is huge and we have alot of london based Mariners.  If given 500, they would sell out in 2 hours of sale.

I was going by this:-

Arbour Park

Sports, leisure, and business in Slough

A community sports stadium, and now the home of Slough Town Football Club, Arbour Park on Stoke Road was the first of the new facilities to be completed.

Arbour Park is home to a state-of-the-art full sized 3G pitch, accredited by the FA, and offers:

a stadium with 2,000 capacity

500 seats

bar and catering facilities

conference and training facilities

facilities for community hire.

We had around 2,000 for both Rochdale and Gillingham but I can’t recall how many tickets we gave them. Pretty certain the current capacity is around 3,000. If that figure is correct then I guess we’d give Grimsby at least 750.

The below is an extract regarding the Gillingham FA Cup match.

”The ground will be able to accommodate approximately 2,800 spectators, but in order for this to happen we will need to implement new methods of segregation, after consultations with various parties and receipt of safety advice and guidance from experts.
• Therefore, for this match Arbour Park will be segregated and ticketed into four distinct areas (North, South, East, West) each with toilets and concessions. Once in a segregated area, you will not be able to move into another area of the ground.”

I did hear that we've got a licence now for 3,000 but not sure if that's correct or not?

Anybody know?

I think Glen has just answered.

Our fixtures secretary will be in touch with Grimsby as soon as we know the date, including arrangements like these.

Well expect a decent atmosphere from us, and I'm looking forward to visiting your stadium.

We like to make a lot of noise and with our ground being packed out bodes well for a exciting game and atmosphere.

Looking forward to it GTF.
