If the pitch starts to churn up worse now in the next few weeks we won't be seeing the likes Kane, Ali and Erickson risked on that.

The club need to tie it in to another game at least, so you have to buy a Crawley or morcombe ticket as well, so when tickets go on general sale it’s £40-£45 for a ticket that covers two matches so no individual Tottenham tickets to be sold

What's the rugby capacity? there must be scope to increase the capacity for us.

As right as you might be, let’s not start putting that out there and planting seeds of doubt in peoples minds as rumours like that could affect the demand for tickets.

7850 for football
8700 for rugby

In theory the difference is supposed to be the segregation for football, but that's only about 10 seats wide and the depth of the Bisley, which is 11 rows, so that's only about 110 seats. Guessing the rest is "safe terrace capacity".

Trouble is without a new safety certificate we're not getting any more in the ground, and the closure behind the dugouts also needs to be considered.

I seriously doubt that mate. It’s spurs for gods sake.

There was loads of space on the north terrace yesterday. Probably room for an extra 1500.

Pochetino has already spoken about how important the FA Cup is this season and played a strong side in rnd 3.

Its at least a couple of hundred down from that because some dickheads decided to launch missles at the dugouts

What's happening with that area? Could it possibly be open for the Spurs game?

Even more doubt.... Spurs play Man Utd a few days later in the premier league.

I may have the dubious pleasure of watching Spurs in successive away matches. At St Mary's on 21st and at Rodney Parade the following weekend.

Staggered how people are proposing fleecing the fans for this. Ticket prices are a joke in this Country. We're a league two side and we need to be thinking of the bigger picture. Increasing ticket prices by up to 50% as proposed by some on here would be disastrous from a PR perspective for the club. Would it sell out? Probably but people would pay through gritted teeth and supporters might think twice about coming in the future, or sticking their hand in their pocket the next time the club comes knocking, cap in hand...

I agree entirely.

I would add once again that for many people the cost of football is prohibitive. If you cash in there is the possibility of two unintended consequences. Firstly that genuine fans are priced out. Secondly that people will pay as Caerleon says through gritted teeth but then give a miss to a league game in February. So the overall gain is negligible in any event.

If we are serious about being a fan based club then we need to know the difference between making money and exploitation.
