How did we manage 12,000 against West Brom then? The Guinness Stand didn't hold more than a few hundred? Maybe something to do with it being an FA Cup game. Don't you have to offer the visiting team 25% of your capacity for those matches? Perhaps that meant that the number of spaces lost for segregation could be kept to a minimum. (West Brom had the whole of the South Stand, plus the normal away terracing. I'm not sure how much of a gap was left in the East Terracing between Rovers and Baggie fans). The crowd that day was 12,011 - 95 (only 95) more than the maximum capacity quoted today. But it was 95 over the maximum capacity quoted then, too!

You're making perfect sense and its as good a reason for how we exceeded capacity that day as any. We managed 11,085 against Alfreton last year by removing the segregation on the East Terrace, I wonder what the crowd would've been if Alfreton had sold their end out? I hope we're planning to do similar this season, especially for Dagenham on the last day but also it should be achieveable against Crawley; I'd hope Exeter and Yeovil would bring enough to justify the use of the away terrace.
