The policy seems to be an initial allocation of whatever their Bisley section holds (650?), with more available (north terrace) later but rarely requested. A recent post by NGR indicates the average away attendance (for this season) is 443. Colchester offer us a vast area of covered seating but it's an awful ground to visit.
I stand to be corrected, but I believe the Bisley Stand away section holds approx 400...
The numbers of away fans visiting last season, indicates that the South Stand would have been needed on just 6 occasions (if my figure of 400 is correct)....The season before, was just 5 occasions.
Moreover, in the last 53 home league games (2 full seasons + 7 this season), the TOTAL number of away fans stands at
17429...an average of
328...with the "400" exceeded on just 14 occasions in 53 games.
