Such a strange event. I listened to this yesterday and I don't know what some fans expect. They seemed to go round and round in circles.
The most new thing we learnt was that away fans cannot be kept back for 15 minutes after the have as we don't have the required space.
It also seems a bit of a contradiction that we have Lee Hoos saying (absolutely rightly) that behaviour needs to improve, we are a family club... And then blokes keep getting up to say we need to kick the kids out of the lower loft to create an 'ultras' type stand behind the goal.

I am puzzled by the comment that we do not have enough space to hold away fans back. Surely if we have enough space (and facilities) to accommodate them at the School End then that is enough..? Am I missing something?
It must be because they know fans won't stay in their seats and then it becomes a crush in the limited space behind the stand if they are locked in. It sounds likes it is a rule from the police/council/League rather than anything the club want/decide.

One of my guests tonight clarified this issue. Apparently the concourse at the School End is even narrower than elsewhere and is considered a problem, so the fans are released earlier than elsewhere (and allowed to mingle with home fans). Perhaps another reason for the local authority to consider us for the Linford Christie site....
