I guess it's whether there is any advantage handed to Swindon by giving them the whole stand - if not then just sell them anyway. 

But if there is a perceived advantage being given to them then if reducing that advantage helps us into the play-off final lost revenue won't matter. The revenue from a Wembley final would far outweigh those lost 3,000 ticket sales. 

Don’t disagree Rob, but wouldn’t it be great to have 4500 Vale fans rocking in the Hamil

We are getting the 'Stratton Bank' behind the goal.

2,200 tickets. If we get the corner of the Arkell's stand too, then 3,400.

I imagine that would then result in them getting the Hamil end at ours.

Park the away coach transport on the Lorne street car park and give them that stand. Can't see how the police can complain about that - away fans witht heir own cars park all round the town and Synetics car park, mingling as they go to the usual away end anyway. Fill the Hamil Road end with 4000 Vale and futch Swindon I say

Cannot coaches drop off fans in Hamil Road and then return after the game to pick up for the journey back?

Swindon have announced their ticket details on their Twitter page and they have given us all behind the goal.

Not clear if we get the usual corner of the Arkell's stand as well. If we do, it'd be 3,400 tickets in total.

2,200 if just the Bank.

Think there are rules on having to give covered seating to away fans as well, which means they'd have to give us the Arkell's as well. I imagine it's part of the deal where they we get that and they get the whole of the Hamil.

Give them 20 tickets for the wall by the carpark side of the Hamil. That's where I used to sit in the 80's

And me.

Then go in to watch the last 20 mins

Would make the most sense for all. I can live with 3,400 v 4,000. We get a fair allocation and we don't have to spend money/time sorting out movement of fans for the home leg. 

Hopefully sense has prevailed.

I'm not expecting them to put a roof on between now and Sunday but their away end doesn't compare to ours. It's almost impossible to make any noise there.

On their website it says Stratton Bank only...that's 2200.

Give them the same...2200

It says only away fans will be in the Stratton Bank, not that that's the only place away fans will go.

EFL rules is at least 200 away tickets have to be under cover (article 34.3 of the EFL regulations), so it would seem (after hankering), the agreement is Stratton Bank + corner of Arkells (around 3500 tickets) in return for the full Hamil in the 2nd leg. Completely fair and sensible - each club can maximise revenue and be fair to away fans without major logistical challenges.

That's better for us then! 

I can't see them bringing 4000 on a Thursday night but it's a fairer ratio than only 1200

Hope your right Joe, there might actually be some tickets left after I finish work.
