Robert Elstone insists Everton will strive to maintain a fair allocation of tickets for fans at cup and away games.

The Blues chief executive explained that the issue arose at a Premier League meeting last week, and he was quick to try and protect the 15% share for away fans.

Toffees supporters were dismayed last month when Arsenal decided to give travelling Blues a reduced allocation for their quarter final clash at the Emirates stadium.

Elstone said: "I led a small group of clubs who were really keen that we protect that FA Cup ticket allocations at 15%.

"The majority of clubs in the room wanted to reduce it and I feel that's wrong. We're keen to make sure that we do protect the maximum possible allocations."
