Noticed that it was segregated for todays game against Maidstone, away allocation is generally 315- 15% of the capacity according to google. If tickets sell out then would easily be able to buy one on the gate for the home end and just wander round to wherever the segregation cut off point is

Thanks Hemel, that explains why the away fans section for our game there hasn't just been put on sale. We probably could sell out 315 tickets so it'd need DW to manage the access to them to ensure owners/ST holders get first dibs...

I did see on the W&H forum they were complaining that the staff had set up a bar for away fans - which makes sense when you say there was segregation.

EDIT - Just seen the highlights from today's W&H v Maidstone game (on the front page of the Maidstone website) and it does look rather tempting to sack off being in the segregation and just buy in the home sections. There's plenty of spare seats and a whole lot more space...

@dorking-eagle Yes I think that's what I'll do, tbh.

Attendance was 928 yesterday, from what ive seen it looked like Maidstone had a single line of fans from behind the goal and then along the side up until the away dugout, the area itself is spacious but as its just hard standing flat space once the front gets filled up the view might not be great if stood behind people. I am 6ft4 so should be alright🤣👍🏻

That would be an area similar in size to what Maidstone give us, but with 315 there instead of up to 600 at Maidstone, so potentially not terrible space wise....weather dependent of course 

I see a couple clips from Maidstones visit and there was absolutely zero atmosphere at all. Clear to see why people have said it will be the worst ground in the league. With fans already disillusioned and scheduled boycotts, by the time we roll up they could already be in the shit. Key players from last season have left, two heavy defeats and the on going financial troubles its looking like it could be a long hard season

@dorking-eagle Difference is, at least with Maidstone you get some covered terrace, as you did at our place when the rest of the away end was flat standing only. 

Agree Ade - at Maidstone and indeed Meadowbank, within the away sections there is at least an area of covered stepped standing, which whilst not enormous at least gives the youngsters somewhere to all group together and try and generate an atmosphere. 

At Weston super-Mare on the last day of last season, we had a good amount of space, but we were so spread out that it was very quiet.

The other thing I noticed from those W&H highlights was the sheer amount of black rubber flying up from their 3G pitch, it honestly looks worse than ours, which I didn't think was possible! 🤣 

Not quite sure how many Maidstone took, but I am wondering whether the no mans land area can be adjusted depending on how big the away following is as there is a lot of dead space that could be filled. I reckon Maidstone didnt sell out the allocation

Another defeat for W&H last night, who are finding life difficult in the NLS with a -9 goal difference

Any news on tickets yet, does anyone know? 
Their site still says away tickets unavailable 

DW need to give out the purchasing link to ST holders and shareholders

I would guess that it will come early next week when Ollie is back from honeymoon?

@dorking-eagle I think W&H are selling the tickets through their ticketing site, still no idea why they are unavailable for away fans though
