On top of the 2,580 seats that were originally allocated for Derby fans, that total has now been increased to 2,809 - with around 400 remaining as of 10am this morning.

I can't help thinking they're pushing to get 30,000 in the ground.

Out of interest, what is the rule regarding %age of tickets for play-off matches? I know the league rules(The lower of 10% or 2,000), are they any different?

Also, their queueing system

It technically counts as a cup game so goes up to 15%

It could take some time...

My guess is that normally we have two strips of segregation which separate home and away fans - for larger followings anyway. By removing one of them, that would release some more tickets?

Might be wrong - but we are defiantly pushing for our first +30,000 gate.

Its not a cup game (except for our own season ticket purposes)

The same as for League games...

3.3 The Visiting Club shall have the right to claim 2,000 tickets for use by its supporters (or such number as represents 10% of all tickets reserved or otherwise sold in advance, if less than 2,000).

Ah! Sorry! I wasn't aware of that.

Play off games certainly used to count as cup games in terms of away ticket allocations. Hence why when we played Swindon at Withdean they were given a small section of the North Stand in addition to the away end.

I hope nobody's thinking of joining the queue just to make it take a bit longer for them :jester:

No need to apologise , I wasn't 100% sure myself, would be great to have 30,000 there.

There were... er, issues... with whether we were allowed >30k according to our safety licence. Hence the difference between in the attendance announced at the match and the FL official figure. allegedly

Only to bums on seats which another website showed the stats on I believe as far as I was aware 30,003 is still the official record

Its a league game, subject to the usual league rules. The Swindon game was probably subject to those same rules, and they were entitled to the extra bit, because the (original) away end at Withdean, made up less than 10% of the total.

That's what we need right now - defiance.

Ah, I see. So in reality there might well have been +30,000 there but that would only be unofficial?
