Saints have been allocated a paltry 1,800 tickets for the trip to Brentford.
Before we start lets get things right here,certainly Saints have done all they could have done to try and get more tickets and im lead to believe that Brentford themselves have tried their best to help, but this decision is made under police instructions.
This means that Griffin Park with a capacity of over 12,000 will be barely half full for a game where Saints could probably have filled the ground themselves.
The police have probably decided that it would be a risk to allow a large number of Saints supporters to attend, but I would say where is the risk, certainly Chelsea, QPR & Fulham all near neighbours of Brentford have far more visiting fans to their games, surely the real risk is of many ticketless fans turning up and trying to get in the home ends, indeed this is likely to happen with many Saints supporters living in London or within a short drive of Brentford in the north of Hampshire, the security risk is heightened by this, surely better to accomodate a large away following and police it as happened at Orient, not to mention the problems caused by large groups going up without tickets and not being able to get into the game packing the local pubs and drinking too much, many more police will be needed to contain this than in the ground.
In this day and age with football clubs struggling to survive, its ludicrous that football supporters cant get to see a game when there are seats available.
