Pittodrie Capacity Changes

[swaddon2]

The AFC have made an announcement regarding the Cathedral of Football's capacity for next season.

The salient points are:

• The Red Shed is increasing in capacity by 200
• The South Stand fence is coming down, meaning that away allocations can vary between 300 and 1770
• The club are to speak to other Premiership clubs regarding ticket availability for away matches

So no physical segregation between home and away fans?

Fair play to the club for spending a bit of cash on the stadium even though we will be in our new home in a few years

Excellent news, we can start by reducing celtic/sevco/hertz allocations to 900/900/600 respectively to match the tickets we get from them

Hearts rarely take more than 600 up anyway

Need a movable segregation fence in the South Stand.
Don't believe the Police would be happy to have the Huns and Tims totally unpenned
Your only asking for trouble otherwise
Personally I would feel much happier with a fence between rival fans even if the away support is dimished to a small collection of the great unwashed

Why would you feel better? There is no fence at other grounds. The fence only leads to a sense of security which makes for worse behaviour.

And that is on a good day!
