Bigmazey Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 (edited) Will it be 3000 or 1720 for capacity on 11th July. My understanding is uefa don't allow standing. Seems a bit crazy at this stage. Edited June 19, 2019 by Bigmazey -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killie_billy Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 I've woke up far too early this morning, so decided to read the Europa League regulations, to try to me get back to sleep. At this stage in the competition matches have to be played in 'Category 2' stadia. No standing is allowed in category 2 stadia. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big_al Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 (edited) sorry folks, seated capacity atm is only 500, they will have to get some temp stands to put on the running track or switch the game https://www.footballgroundguide.com/leagues/welsh-premier-league-clubs/gap-connahs-quay.html switching it to chester would give 4,500 seats https://www.footballgroundguide.com/leagues/conference/conference-north/chester-deva-stadium.html Edited June 19, 2019 by big_al -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killie billies pal Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 Looking at google earth there doesn’t seem to be. Lot of room for temp stands, it is already seated right around pitch, has to be more than 1720 seats, Rugby Park enclosure is six rows of seats and holds 1,500, their main stand is that at least, then three rows around the rest of pitch 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cill Mheàrnaig Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 (edited) From what I can make out, the games have to be played at a stadium within the club's own association - so Chester or Wrexham's grounds couldn't be used. Going by what Andy Morrison has been saying in the press I'd be surprised if the game was switched as he's described Belle Vue as a "leveller" and a "typical old Welsh ground" (whatever that means). They'll get a cut of our gate for the second leg, and looking at the stadiums available to them I can't see them bothering moving the game.

I take your point but Nomads did say they had asked the Welsh FA to make enquiries about using Wrexhams Racecourse Ground. The Welsh FA themselves have used it in the past as Wales played international matches there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there's suitable venues in the FAW so was unlikely any request would have been granted. 2 minutes ago, Squirrelhumper said: They won't get a penny from the game at RP.

Prahakillie Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 I could be wrong but I understood it as geography. In my opinion it is the Welsh clubs belonging to the FA who would have to seek clearance from UEFA to play in Wales if they wanted to play at home in Europe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the case it seems strange that the FAW wouldn't be able to switch it from Rhyl to Wrexham. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
