5,000 of 'em at £20 a pop means a lot of dough to us. Surely we can find an area with the least season ticket holders , Upper West, East blocks nearest the South Stand, and bounce 'em out for one game. Send them all a voucher for a tenner off their season ticket renewal. Half of 'em probably won't be turning up anyway. Would be nearly enough to pay off Parky.

Lets face it, no one will be bothered if they missed the game !
Is this being floated as an idea? Give them A and B blocks and seg a bit of C. Could work but would the Police allow it?
even an extra 2,500k equates to £50k in gate receipts. I just wonder how much the Club actually thought about it. If they gave it due consideration then fine. If it meant my seat for one game then ok. I'd be as happy in the West Upper.
100% sure the club considered this angle. If it's not happening then there would be a reason.
tell em they aint geting fu*k all tickets unless they pay double, job done.
They wouldn't be able to as they sell out nearly every home game..............and we'd take about 700 away!
If we had to win the last game at Nrwich we would have a few more than 700.
As for give em more tickets ----------- what like Goldman did re us at Palarse a few years back ? gestures like this would stop me ging EVER again.

Spot on Goonerhater.......
I know we have bugger all to play for but still can not understand how someone would want to give such a bonus to an opposing team..
or the total alcohol bill for Derby this saturday..... so second thoughts let them come ;o)
“We initially applied for the maximum allocation from Charlton, which we received. We subsequently applied for a further allocation through the ticket office, and that was declined. I then spoke to their club secretary and they referred the matter to their board to discuss and their board, having discussed it, were not willing to make any further tickets available, even though they could, because to do so would mean them relocating season ticket holders, which is something they were loath to do.
The most plausible option would have been to give them blocks A and B of the east and segregate block C, which would have affected 400 STs, but only created about 1,200 extra away seats. We would then have incurred extra costs from the segregation required in the east stand and the compensation to STs, so the financial argument was not as overwhelming as has been suggested.
give trickets to schools etc etc.
have a good old fationed wake.
I would - I've booked my flights, and Gatwick to Narwich is a long way :-(
Didn't Blackburn do something similar for one of the "Operation" matches a couple of years back?
Unless there are crowd control issues I'd look into closing off blocks A and B and giving Norwich fans that area.
who did invent the skip? ;-)
This isn't the time to risk annoying supporters more by moving them to accomodate the opposition. Some people won't like it and if we put a few hundred season ticket holders off renewing then the 100k won't be such a bonus. Knowing how much people love a moan at the moment it wouldn't surprise me if this drove some away.
Probably we'd only make around £25K assuming around 1,000 extra Norwich fans, but given that there'll be large gaps elsewhere in the stadium it's worth doing. Bear in mind a lot of Norwich fans will buy tickets anyway so there'll be groups of them all over the East, West and North Stands. Now what's worse, co-ordinating this properly and getting all the Norwich fans in one area under proper stewarding etc, or having several hundred fans dotted around all over the place?
