OK, here we go.
The DW Stadium hasn’t had an away allocation over 5,000 for about a decade. This mainly due to the safety aspect of having more than that on the concourses, the congestion and crushing that has occurred in the past dictates this decision. There are other reasons, like encroachment, broken seats etc, but the concourse crush is by far the main issue.
With regards to this particular game, as was eluded o earlier in this thread, the Marquee and other hospitality areas will have the other tickets that take it to the full safe allocation (which as mentioned is around 5,000)
Hope that is definitive enough for you, it’s all I’ve got.
