With a normal away fans capacity of 2800 and the F.A. guide of 15% for away fans (4500) will Stoke give us more than usual?
We over 3000 to West Ham and 5000 to Arsenal mid week so can see a problem if only 2800 are allowed... STH will take up most if not all so could be tricky decisions to be made by both clubs...

I'd wait until the draw for Round 4 tomorrow before worrying about our allocation, I'd think 2,800 would be more than enough in most circumstances though, it's a short trip for most but it's nowhere glamourous or anything like that and it's a ground many have been to before, I'm a ST holder who probably won't be able to get out of work in time for it so that's at least one ST holder who won't take up a ticket...

I very much doubt we'll take more than 2-2.5k. Might not even break 2k to be honest.

Who knows, it's not far. I will pop up as I work in North Shrewsbury, so easy to get away up the A53. It's the other end and parking that's the issue.

I’d be amazed if we got close to the 2,800. How many went to the League Cup game a few years ago ?

They don't have to give us the full 15% allocation is there are any issues with safety, for example segregation. I would have thought that 2800 will be plenty.

Three replays so far and with Stoke possibly under new management by then then the game must be in with a chance of being televised

Can’t see us taking more than 1,500
But then I said that for West Ham too

Probably not as it isn’t a EFL game, I guess you could find it on a live stream if it’s going to be internationally broadcasted again as yesterday’s game was.

I was hoping to go as its only 20 mins on the train or driving but Parking near the ground seems a problem. They do run a shuttle bus from Stoke City Center but not sure I fancy the walk at night or the bus to and from the ground. Still hoping to go though.

On the day they got relegated I was driving along the A50 as loads of dejected fans crossed a footbridge over it, think there must be some parking that way somewhere? Not a ground I need to "collect" having been there when we won the play off penalty shoot. A great day.

I went to that game Great day, both sides supporters sitting on the grass before the game. Parking was easy for that game as I paid £5 to park in a field next to the ground. Guess that's not an option when it's Stoke that are at home though. Longton rugby club looks a good option Away fans seam wellcome, 10 min walk from the ground and Bar open.

Between 1,000 and 1,500. Talk of us taking 2,800 is crazy.

Train from Shrewsbury not really an option, due to possibility of extra time and penalties. Last train is 10.47pm Longton Rugby club looks interesting, just to find a driver

Got 2 tickets just before 5pm and over a 1000 sold now. It is all ticket though, so people need to get buying. Hopefully we sell a few hundred tomorrow.
