To give you an indication of spectator numbers for away fans:-

It is generally accepted that the away team are given a minimum of 15% of the Stadium capacity for FA Cup ties, segregated.

That means with a 5,000 capacity Stadium, the away team will receive an allocation of 750 tickets.

In the EFL away teams are expected to receive a minimum of 2,000 tickets, segregated, although with small Stadiums (typically minimum 5,000 capacity) that number is negotiable & could be reduced.

IMO, the Boro's new Stadium design should provide an Away End accommodating 1,000 fans (as at Liberty Way) & make provision for a further 250 seats to be allocated to away supporters, this can be either within the Main Stand, or in a purpose-built much smaller seated stand on the opposite side to the Main Stand, adjacent to the Away End.

This would give the away supporters an allocation of 1,250 tickets & 25% of the Stadium capacity.

IMO, this would help towards a good Stadium design & a very fair allocation of tickets for away supporters.

1,250 tickets in a 5,000 capacity Stadium is a IMO a good compromise & should be negotiable with both the FA & the EFL.

Just my thoughts!
