CB Fry Posted 22 June, 2015 Share Posted 22 June, 2015 I have a question. How do you sell out games in the Premier League if the opposing club doesn't use up their allotment? You need to grow your allotment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes to allotments you reap what you sow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you call communal areas of veg plots? Can't remember but = allotment in English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is joking, an "allotment" in England is also piece of land divided up and used by lots of people to grow plants and vegetables. You are allotted a small piece of land. I think they are called "community gardens" in America... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't even realize that community gardens were a thing and, by googling I discovered that we have several right near where I live. http://centralcoastgrown.org/site/docs/ccancommunityfoodresourceguideoct11-1.pdf I do not suppose anyone can answer my original question now?

How do you sell out games in the Premier League if the opposing club doesn't use up their allotment? You could reduce the number of tickets you sell to the away side and open up the blocks in the away end to home fans. Saints do also use the phrase "sell out" when they've sold out the home end tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, how are security concerns dealt with? (I mean the need for segregated seating.) If not, is it fair that a club that buys lots of away tickets has their availability reduced because, for example, Sunderland fans don't want to come here?

(I mean the need for segregated seating.) If not, is it fair that a club that buys lots of away tickets has their availability reduced because, for example, Sunderland fans don't want to come here? In fairness, if it is apparent in advance that the away end isn't selling out then another block or so can easily be re-allocated to the home fans, there is netting at the point of segregation that can be moved as required. Also, for cup matches when a larger away end is stipulated there is the possibility of isolating a larger section of the Northam Stand concourse to cater for more fans. In reality though, you need a full away end to reach a full house. The better measure may be for the percentage of the home end that is sold, but, on personal experience there always seems to be a few seats spare in some areas, including the Itchen/Kingsland corner where I sit. A sign in itself that Stadium expansion is not a great idea right now. I still believe that St Mary's is just about right for our needs, one of our often reviled former chairman's better judgement calls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alehouseboys Posted 23 June, 2015 Share Posted 23 June, 2015 You basically have to climb the top tier stairs like its a ladder judging by the viewing angle. Why are there not thousands of people hanging off the barriers at the front of the top stands trying to save themselves? You obviously don't remember Charleroi from Euro 2000... That stand is no longer around but at the time must have been the steepest ever constructed...and no doubt pulled down for failing modern day safety standards!

kwsaint Posted 13 February, 2016 Share Posted 13 February, 2016 You reckon our current form might make the management think about expansion? Apologies, I've had a few and thought it would be interesting to resurrect this old thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
