The grounds have sections which are reserved for away fans only - there is minimum allocation of total capacity that needs to be catered for (unless special circumstances like a ground redevlopment is in progress). Clubs then sell those tickets to the away club who manage the sale to their fans. Away clubs usually have to buy up in bulk so will choose how much to take of their allocation, but those seats remain empty and not sold to home fans (usually).
Swindon has a stand, the empty one, called the Stratton Bank. It is included in the away fans allocation to reach the minimum, but very few clubs ever bring enough to even open it. So long as we know the away club won't use it, we could open that Stand up to home fans if required because it is sectioned off from the other away fan section.

Over £1.50 per litre for my premium unleaded Are they playing catchup from the lockdown periods or has the price of a barrel risen?
