stoke 2000 i wasn't a fanclub member and i got there at 1pm... no pushing or line jumping at all and i worked out about 7th or 8th row in the FC pit

i know this is different, but it's really only a few people who do go down very early. At Ostend there were 20 there very early morning... and it was only really early afternoon/late morning that more people came. I think even by midday there were less than 800 (both GA and FC) members even though the gates opened in 3 hours or so
