Couple of points.

Our current "real" capacity is around 26,500 not the stated 27,000 (after wastage)

We have sold 21.063 season tickets

Section J (subsection 7.1) states we ALWAYS have to allocate 10% (2700) to away fans even if they dont take up the allocation.

Subsection 4.9 also states the club must allocate at "least" 5% to casual fans. (non ST holders) (1350)

Not sure what "at least" means but I would assume this is 5% of official capacity

quick math

21,063 ST + 2,700 away fans = 23,763

leaving effectively just 2737 casual tickets available

Which also means the ST allocation must be capped at 22,450 based on real capacity of 26,500 (27,000)

Meaning........ if they cant increase capacity....... and you are think of buying a ST........ buy it NOW before its too late.

Even if we increase capacity????, we still have to give away 10% to away fans and 5% to casual fans so it wont give you that many more STs
