I see the club is reinstating category A fixtures and pricing “due to increased risk levels, resulting in higher stewarding and operational costs.” Beyond Carlisle, Southend, Hartlepool, Boston United and, possibly, Halifax I am scratching my head as to what might fall into this category? I am not sure at different times in different leagues any of them would have been categorised as high risk?
And not one of the teams you mentioned brought more than 700 fans.
The more sensible approach could be to house all other team fans at the end of the threadgold stand and save money on gatemen and catering, many teams bringing less than 100 fans one who only brought 23, rather than penalise both home fans and away fans that bring a reasonable amount.
