Ticket News Sittingbourne FC H Isuzu FA Trophy - 1st February 2025 3pm

Looks like it will be over 4k on the day.

I remember playing in the efl infront of crowds of 3500-4000.

The whole ground being open.

 

[Gt Yarmouth Shrimper]

Am still contemplating this one.
I will definitely go if they open the Wes.
Come on Tom, you know it makes sense.

Regrettably think it's to late for the West Stand to be opened

They won't do that , needs the Shakespeare drive side to be all unlocked as the South standers will be coming in by the East stand

 

[Supershrimper]

Don't get the fascination with the west. More obstacles than you can shake a stick at. Especially half way line, you have stand pillars, plus ladder and supports for the TV camera stand

Yeah hopefully one day the West Stand will get a new roof and a new TV gantry built without any obstruction.

South Upper tickets selling well about 120 sold which isn't bad since it hasn't even been announced that's its open.
Will be interesting to see what option today will be used to give Sittingbourne extra tickets.

Not to mention us when we went to the Paint pot trophy at Cardiff and Wembley.

many on here will never forget the train journey back to southend from cardiff a few kids were late to bed that night / very early morning ,plus some very angry mums and wife`s waiting outside stations

At last!
I might have missed others saying the same thing, but the West is the worst view in the entire Hall: not that deep, more stanchions than the Forth Bridge; and if you're coming from Victoria Ave, a right schlep!

 

[Swiss Tony]

Once a west sider always a west sider, you happy clappers stay in your wooden seats or knees under your chins in the south stand, only banter chaps but west is best.

The West's a lot more comfortable though. How's the view when the sun's shining?

 

[Uncle_Rons_Teapot]

Having sat in the East stand for a number of years I'm glad to have switched to the west.

Uncomfortable is one way to describe the East

TICKET COUNTER UPDATE:

This should now accurately show the sales in the North Bank, split between Home (Blocks NA, NB & NC) and Away (Blocks ND, NE & NF)

Current (seated) capacity is around 9,168*.

*This doesn't include the currently closed for online sales, Blocks A, P, X, Y & Z. It also won't include the seats that have been taken off sale around the stadium as part of the reduced capacity, or of course corporate sales which add roughly another 600. All told if every seat was sold and corporate full, we could probably squeeze around 10,000 in the Hall as it stands.

[Cricko]

Well done mate, I wonder if that is it for away fans now it shows none available.

 

[Smiffy]

They've sold what has been allocated to them (Block NF, NE and half of ND)

We've given them over 20% of "available/on sale" capacity, which easily fulfils the competition criteria of I think 15%.

 

[Cricko]

I see also they have closed the South Lower now and moved them to the South Upper.. makes sense.

The West stand is going to feel lonely.

I'm lucky in that my seat in the East is within the old paddock section, so have unobscured views, plastic seats and the leg room is adequate (if your 6ft plus you may think otherwise)

Do you have Prawn sandwichs delivered to your seat over there aswell?

I think you were correct yesterday, the club had no idea of the numbers that wouild attend, in retrospect it would of been far easier to open the whole ground and would of probably increased the numbers.

Caviar and blini board at half time

Colfester opened up their whole stadium for 4k fans at the weekend
