I understand that it took a significant background effort by the GM and eventually required the Met Police to write to the FA warning of concern that fans may travel without a ticket, in order to get permission for the beam-back at 3pm on a Saturday. I have no knowledge of the costs but I would guess that it is several hundred pounds which as a fan owned club we naturally should try to recover as best we can. Anything over 120 fans should cover it. I have no inside information regarding crisps!
From previous understanding I believe the initial set up to do this is a 4 figure some, so not much money is made on the first game. But now gives us the opportunity to do it again at little cost

Should be a bit more comfortable than the thimble sized away end.
It makes the Luton away feel like a sensational experience with acres of space
How can they build a terrace so shallow, when there's dugouts and beams in the way?
You don't have a chance of even seeing the corner area, or whether the ball is out of play. It's a surprise on leaving seeing there's quite a large area between the line and the fence too!
@Malone Don't forget it's really only a non-league ground (belonged to Kingstonian), and actually better than a lot a grounds we used to go to pre-1993. Adequate for crowds of, say, less than a thousand, but totally unfit for the sort of crowds AFCW get. Still, we might find ourselves rocking up at the new Plough Lane in a couple of years.

Its down the side by the half way line that it gets awful, you should really get a minimum standard comparable with the home fans , the price certainly is. Efl are useless but we should really be given the end behind the goal.

They'd have to create a new route to that far end round the back of the current route. There's space, it looks a right wreck yard behind our terrace.
But then you'd have to either lose the seats, all 70 or so of them, or have our fans separated.
I can see why they'd not bother changing it. Away fans experiences are never top of any club's priorities.
Being of average height I chose to sit in one of the few seats allocated to us; view was very good provided you stood up when the home fans did. Despite supposedly being sold out there was three rows of mostly empty seats behind me.

Oh flip. I meant to add in my earlier post “bring own crisps”. Only joking GM.

I'd say we'll cover the cost!

It's nearly as crowded as this terrace. Not the same atmosphere though, I'd wager
Was it even in the area?
163 Chairboys in there according to Twitter.

Tru dat.
I expect the view was better in all the other stands.
It's just sooo crap a view in ours.
