Who is going Stoke away?

[bocadillo]

The football league does have a rule, it's just very difficult to find out what it is online. I've found a couple of sites that say it's 10% but I'm still trying to find an official football league or club document that should prove it conclusively.

Look at the Southampton Charter for 2007-2008. It's in several other clubs' charters as well.

I have seen that...but it doesn't state that 3,000/10% is the rule, just that that's the number they allocate to away fans.
Most of the club charters have a line like "The club abides by The Football League regulations governing the allocation of tickets to visiting clubs.", without mentioning what the rule actually is.

I suppose Leicester opted for the lower amount because they have to pay for any tickets in which they don't sell (that is what I'm told anyway)

That only applies in the Prem where the first half of the 10% allocation must be on sale-or-return but the home club can demand payment for any unsold tickets in the other half.

Sloppy formulation of the charter!

I think they probably did. And if I had bothered to read before I wrote, I would probably have seen it.

That may be the effect, but it certainly isn't the reason.

So when do you reckon we will find out whether we've been given anymore tickets or not?
