    The whole system is questionable!

    I have been to four games which I have no Loyalty Points for. If the computer can lose points like that, then it is hardly a reliable and accurate tool.

    They will be tickets that we don't normally make available as there's no need to, if everywhere else is basically sold out then we might as well put them on sale. These will be where the supporting pillars are at the back of the Kop upper tier, some will probably be fine but others I'd imagine will be awful as the pillar will block most of at least 1 of the goals.

    Thought our capacity was 25,000, appreciate we loose about 1,000 in segregation to protect the away fans lol but thought we'd still have 2,000 left based on Orient selling all of the 2,500 allocation.

    Think the bottom right hand side of the Bradford End is also closed off based on the Grimsby game

    That was a painful one. I remember a young Dalian Atkinson ripping us to shreds

    Thanks Silver, what were the Arsenal and Villa’s official attendances in the LC run?

    Either one, three or four games left. I've thought all season that if we go up, it would be via the autos but now that slimmest of chances has gone, I'm trying my best to believe it could still happen via the playoffs, which isn't easy when another thing I've thought all season is that Mansfield will be the winners of that. :worried:

    Anyway, in my attempt to still have hope, I've been looking at the fixtures since the Colchester game - 12 in all, and I've broken them down into 3 groups of 4. The first four games we amounted 4 points from a possible 12, the next four we got 10 from 12 and then the last four we've just played we got just 4 points again. I know points don't feature in the playoff's but if that pattern continues, we should be entering another round of four games where we pick up 10 points (if they were on offer). I'd even settle for 8 as that would be enough.
    Yeah, I know it's stupid but it's all I've got.

    The Club have mentioned, on a number of occasions over the years, that the 25,136 is incorrect.

    However, there is clearly some 'disagreement' at to what the capacity actually is, as there is a clear variation between the safety certificate figures, as posted by @Storck@Storck, and the figures posted by the Club on the official website.

    Below, are the figures, as stated by the Club on the official website. I've added the comparative safety certificate figures* in brackets:
    Morrisons Family Stand (Main Stand) 9,004 (*9,135)
    Bradford Lifts Stand (Midland Road) 4,500 (*4,435)
    The Kop 7,392 (*7,486)
    TL Dallas Stand (Bradford End) 1,644 (*1,610)
    North West Corner 2,300 (*2,223)

    Total Capacity 24,840 (*24,889)

    The highest attendance, in the stadium's current format, was the Darby Rimmer MND Foundation match against Liverpool in 2019, which produced an official attendance of 24,343. I'd say, realistically, that's probably the limit. Then deduct any closed off areas for segregation purposes (e.g. Midland Road seats between home and away fans).

    On that basis, if we've lost a few hundred seats in Midland Road, plus a few hundred at the front of the kop, we are probably looking at a sell out capacity somewhere in the region of 23,500 for the Leyton Orient match.

    It’s forecast to chuck it down from 8am tomorrow. Will give League a headache if waterlogged. Just thinking…
