Do you know for sure that’s the reason, John, or just speculation?
I’ve heard nothing about such plans, except to make a “singing section”. There are, or were, no plans to shut any particular areas.
What did the letter actually say?
It doesn’t matter what is says George , the bottom line is he can’t have the seat he has occupied since the east became allocated to home fans. If we had still been in Championship I strongly suspect he would have been able to renew.
If they want to have specific areas for singing, make the east stand a sit where you want job, that will allow people to get in early if they want to sit in the middle blocks and allow gangs of singers to get together and make a fuss. The pricing structure can be aligned accordingly.
The letter he received today was the first my lad knew about this change, which confirms that although we have been a premier league club on the field, off it we have never got beyond conference North.
I remember investing in an away season ticket with promise of best seats, blah, blah, blah, it was a load of shyte and I spent more time sat in a pokey corner of the ground with a pish poor view, whilst my mates had prime seats behind the goals having bought their tickets a few days before the match.I am coming to the conclusion that its no coincidence that our demise started when a certain Jonathon Jackson became CE. Penny pinching here and penny pinching there, a manager conveyor belt all of which he has been involved in. Mr Jackson seems to be like Graham Barrow and sneaks about under the radar, whilst the focus has been on Dave Whelan and a series of incompetent managers and players. Has the CE actually been accountable for any of this sudden slide? One big fat no is the answer!! :angry:
From Matlock to ManU
What a journey!Har har de fuckin har! Still seen more live action than you though over the last 14 seasons eh! You need to knock a few years off your username !Really? Have you been on your Bob’s mushrooms?
Firstly, how exactly do you “knock years” off a user name of ‘Griff’?
Secondly, I seem to recall you once bragging that you’d only missed 8 or so home games since we moved to the new stadium. So, that puts me those 8 in front of you in the last 14 years, plus all the JJB/DW games in the two years before that (1999-2015 is 16 years, not 14), plus the last few years at Springy (though I confess I can’t reacall if I went to all of those as well as I can the new stadium, I’m sure I misese done or two) plus all our home friendlies since 1999, and that’s before I even get on to away games.
You do know what away games are, don’t you? Mind you, if you can’t manage a full home game, it’s understandable if you can’t manage an away game.
If you get in quickly with your new seat application, I believe there’s a space next to the drummer. Hurry!
I don’t understand what you mean JR. If the stand is open to home fans, then surely it will need manning in the stand and concourse, or is it that the lower rows of seats are being ‘netted’ off?That’s exactly what it is, Horc. Basically, the first four or five rows at the bottom of the East and South stands, I believe. The ones that only lunatics would sit in because you get pissed wet through when it rains.

Scandalous! The least I would have expected is that Jackson and Sharpe came round to your lad’s house to explain it to him in person.
As for your last paragraph… the capacity of this site to spout collective shite about things it knows nothing about never ceases to amaze me.
And before that imbecile, The Torch, comes on to say he thought I’d packed in on the site, this stuff is just too hilarious to ignore

I don’t think he was talking to you ;)
we have looked at ways in which we can ensure that the matchday atmosphere is improvedWhy not close the West Stand and relocate everyone to the East/South which hold 14500 between them? More fans packed together would create a better atmosphere and also paint a picture of a larger crowd on Manish’s late night highlights, when the West Stand wouldn’t be shown.
It would also save on stewarding costs as I’m sure the Executive Box occupants could manage without someone showing them to their seat!

Damn it, you’re right! Bring back Brenda. All is forgiven (cup of tea anyone?)

Because it’s bad enough when they allow East Standers into the West for pre-season games.Har har de fuckin har! Still seen more live action than you though over the last 14 seasons eh! You need to knock a few years off your username !

Keep up Mutty, Manish is gone, long live Channel 5 at 9pm.
Anyway, as much as it may upset some, those front few rows always made the crowd look worse than it was and I’ve said before to sell them off at a cut price.
Covering them with advertising similar to the sides od ES1 & 9 won’t affect that many and will in fact push more folks together.
Bearing in mind this decision seems to have been made after season tickets went on sale, says to me after the initial purchasing, sales have dried up or they’ve had a big advertising sale. After all we need all the income we can get.Just off the phone from ticket office. Rows A-G inc will not be available across the whole of the East Stand, I have been offered several pairs of seats 2 rows higher and upwards than our existing ones in the same block and so I am happy with that. She apologised and even gave me the option of coming to the ground and personally being shown the options available in the stand which was a nice touch albeit not necessary for me! I shall contact my mate and we shall decide on which seats to take!

and make it easier for you to individually count everyone and satisfy your obsession with attendance figures perhaps?
