Thanks for that.
I think that gives cause for concern...

I don't see why, there's plenty of National League games that aren't segregated, Woking away last week being one example (we had over a hundred there). Not expecting any problems other than the time it might take to actually get in and the queue at the bar when everyone goes in early as a result!

Took my number and will call on Sunday or Monday. Told me everything I wanted to know so all worked well so far. Fingers crossed now.
Ideally the tickets would have benn available at the game tomorrow because we're visiting family for the weekend and will be at the Eastleigh game. But the club have all the posting in hand for us exiles so no worries there.

Emma and her team have certainly improved things.... They seem on the ball with this one...

There are 300 - 400 seats and definitely not that many season ticket holders.

It looks like being a sell-out. If fans of both clubs decide to change ends at half time - presuming both sets of fans are behind the goals - surely this will cause problems? The stadium looks very compact. Also, if the latter does occur and the police decide to prevent opposing fans from swapping ends there could be fans of both clubs who won't respect that decision. Like I say, it gives cause for concern...

Only if there are total knob-heads present...you know, absolute [SwearFilter] clag-nuts.

All towns have a contingent of undesirables who surface for the big occasions. I'm sure Taunton have their own...

Only if it's 300 people going one direction and 2000 going in the other. There is no way that it will be . Taunton have about 50 people who change ends and even with hangers on that will only rise to about 100. Barrow meanwhile have 300 tickets but not everyone will change ends as some want seats, and others just won't bother.

It is definitely going to be tighter than usual and trouble could occur but I judge the risk as low. The 2300 ground capacity was laid out by inspectors (police, The FA, council ...I'm not sure) who will have had safety in mind.

Just sharing a few more photos for no reason in particular. It is definitely compact down the near touchline where the largest stand is (second photo above) and quite open around the other three sides...

Unfortunately not

I heard in pub last night a local business have made some half and half scarfs.
