Allocating away fans : Mon Mar 16, 2009 6:22 pm  

I always wondered if as in football you have to guarantee away a percentage of the capacity?

Is this the case in RL or if you wanted can you have a stadium full of home fans

And the number of total sell outs a season in rugby league is???? Are you hoping Hull fans get no tickets for your ground???


BTW the away percentage in football only applies to FA Cup and League Cup ties. Clubs can totally ban away fans for league games if they like as used to happen with Luton and until recently Cardiff v Swansea games. I think the last football league game no away fans were allowed into was Wolves v Cardiff a couple of seasons ago.

I doubt it has ever come up but I'd guess there are guidelines for the cup not the league

except – you have to, under SL rules, make a certain percentage of tickets available to your opponents for them to sell their fans (we got caught out on this on our first return-to-SL game in 2008 [or2006])

I always thought it was 10% of the capacity
