Don't have to concentrate to hard, 2 have sold out already
What are you wittering on about? We don't have an allocation for the Golf stand. We have to brave your smelly shop and pretend to be interested in your tacky merchandise to acquire tickets for the Golf stand.
That, against the horrors of the other end, is preferable for some. But many simply either don't realise they can sit in the North, as (for the derby only) it is a Rovers allocated stand (which hasn't sold out) or cannot be bothered to go through the whole sorry charade. Why should they, when supporters of every other club can buy their Golf stand tickets conveniently at their own club shops?

You certainly didn't for the last craven park derby. Was only half full.

I tried to say this the other week. SirStan almost had a seizure:

By your assumptions, the gate would have been 1,500 less than capacity (less than 9,000).
Your sums dont add up pal.
PS: Yes, I have just returned from the pub!
It almost makes one think held-back figures were added to the official attendance that day to keep the sponsors and creditors happy ! The South stand was less than half full and the Golf was about a third empty. I trust mine eyes rather than Hudge's manipulations.

Not sure what the capacity of Craven Park but it's more then 10,239. Thought the North stand was almost full. Where does it even say that the South stand is sold out anywhere?

Dunno. You're asking the wrong person both of those questions. I certainly haven't seen any Sold Out signs. SirStan thought the capacity was even less at 10089, but he was just back from the pub.
