Not all the "600" season ticket holders will be able to go, so there needs to be a system in place that confirms they are going, even it it means 'buying' another ticket, many won't be given their usual seats anyway
Not much point having empty spaces when there are other people wanting to get in

Surely that would be a breach of contract? Aren’t the EFL meant to represent EFL clubs? The two finalists are two of the clubs who were prepared to sell out the Premier league. It would be totally demotivating for the 12 clubs involved.

Unrelated to the possibility of the match being moved from Wembley.

You all can thank me for sending my passport off to be renewed as the reason for making the playoffs. I've always said I'll be at Wembley when we make it, and just my luck this is the one year I probably wouldn't be able to (granted I'm not sure if I'm even allowed in the country at this point)

According to the Bbc it's something to do with the pitch been dug up

Think they could have waited extra couple of days

I suppose if it is Newport giving up the advantage of being at home for the second leg, it is up to them? FGR will have been happy to swap.

Newport have been given the game as a test event so fans will be allowed in

So fans back for our play off home tie. Will be interesting to see how the authorities determine the numbers allowed in. Is it the local council or County who decide :?:

If it's the County wonder if they will be the same rule for ourselves and Blackpool.... :?: :?: :?:

If it's the local council. don't expect any favours.... :cry: :cry: :cry:

Authorised by the Welsh government presumably as fans would have been excluded from both games if Newport had not been allowed to have fans in.

Yes. I would guess our crowd will be 25% which will be just short of 1500, approx half of which will be season ticket holders - big scramble ahead no doubt

I think it will be a minimum of 1450 but hopefully the club can squeeze a few more out of the authorities. Be such a shame to see some long time fans miss out.

It depends what the council decree I suspect.
50% capacity, home fans only would be 3250, which would be enough I suspect.
25% home fans only could be 1625, then yep, bit of a scramble!!

I thought someone said a while ago that it's limited to the seating areas, i.e. no fans in the standing areas, so if that's the case, then much smaller numbers.

So 1558 tickets for sale. Cant just be the seats as we only have 1950, so there must be some standing.
Be great to get them in but pity it’s not 3000.

Slightly concerning that there’s no measure at all to prevent someone who’s never been to a single game before getting a ticket ahead of someone who could’ve been the most passionate fan out there and bought every iFollow game etc but not a season ticket for this season. But, it’s fans back in the stadium so do I have a right to be negative?
