Away capacity what is it ?

I thought it was just over 600 but yesterday it was announced Northampton had brought 575. Yet all week we were told the Cobblers had sold out.

So - the club let Barrow youths in for free and then reduced the capacity for paying Northampton fans? Shouldn’t we be maximising revenue?

The capacity got cut weeks ago due to safety reasons.

No away fans should be in The Holker End. The goon who came up with that idea should take full responsibility if/when something serious occurs between rival sets of fans.

Suitable arrangements should be put in place to house Away Fans in the old Steelworks End.

I really don’t know what the answer is but that ain’t going to happen when it’s the same end as the fan zone and the corporate.
