No, a repeat of the Tuesday firecrackers doesn't interest me.

Well the police will move ko to a time that's awkward but doesn't actually make a difference to the always ultras behaviour.
I won't begrudge something else I have to do turning up.

Under FA Cup rules our allocation is 4500 tickets, so yes, I will go

Yeah, about that...

"Arsenal's Safety Advisory Group, which is made up of representatives from the club, local authority, police and transport, reduced the standard 9,000 away allocation under the competition rules due to fears over safety issues from supporters standing in the upper tiers of the stadium.

Despite Liverpool's request for the full allocation of tickets, this was turned down by Arsenal, following the advice of the Safety Advisory Group. A similar request made by Tottenham Hotspur for 9,000 visiting supporters' tickets in the third-round of the FA Cup was also rejected.

Any decision on ticket allocation is made by the Safety Advisory Group; however, Liverpool Football Club have been in continued dialogue with Arsenal and made every attempt to obtain the full allocation for fans.”

In short: no chance.

Is there an upper tier in the South Stand then?

No, and you know there isn't.

The point is there is a very clear precedent for SAGs to deny the full 15% allocation. Given the show put on by your rabble last Tuesday, expect to see the same.
