The not very wide concourse won?t be an issue or come into play when we play Mansfield Town or if we ever get another big boy in the FA cup.

Isn't that because in that scenario the road will be closed off (which comes at a cost) to facilitate emergency evacuation which, for smaller crowd games, is not cost effective, so the concourse width then becomes the limiting factor?

I think we've learnt our lesson from last season giving away teams like Manfailed a larger than we should allocation. Cheaterfurlough gave us 10% so we'ver done the same.

I think they are closing off the road behind the Sirrel tomorrow tho.

We would give them the whole stand if we could, but the safety certificate says we have to limit No's in that stand

They are indeed...

"To ensure a safe exit for all supporters, road closures will be in place around Meadow Lane after full-time tomorrow "

No we wouldn't

But what we've given them is far less than we gave Mansfield last season. I'd say this was a concious decision by Notts rather than an H&S issue. The concourse issue is only a problem if we have home fans in the stand as well. JP mentioned this in an interview.
