Whats the point of reading any more of your post when you say that?

sorry
I was too busy watching the game, rather than looking at the stands.
Just looked at the booking site and it would seem that nearly all the Jester cheap seats are gone, but there are plenty of £25 seats available.......Some right beside L&L.
Also, the only place you can book seats on the site is the East.......both the south and north are not available.
Really sorry

You really are clueless when it comes to this.

Nope...not swerving it at all. Can't say I have noticed the south and North stands open. Saw a few kids (looked like players) in the South at the wire game, but didn't notice people sitting in the North. If that is the case, then yes, the club should sell seats in the North to Away fans. As for the financial grounds stuff, I thought I had explained that one.
Let's try again shall we.......
Average gates of 4,000 odd..with average receipts of £38k a game. £494k from 13 games....so let's round that up to £500k. Maybe another 500k from residuals such as jerseys, beer, food etc......
SKY..........give us £1,250,000 a year and have asked us to experiment with the 1 full stand scenario. You and I know that it won't work, but the single biggest revenue source for the club have asked them to try it.......so they are.
Sorry

We understand the reasoning behind the move....

However, the stands behind the sticks have been opened in games that I've been to. So therefore instead of using them as overflow, open ONE of them up for away and sell as GA.

IF we fill our stand, open up the other stand behind the sticks as overflow. Its simple, gives all fans a better experience, allows for growth, keeps SKY TV happy.

At the moment having the two ends empty looks worse then the scenario we are talking of having one partially filled and the main stand 3/4 full.

Well thats great, restrict fans if £15 tickets are gone (for a 12k stadium) and force them to buy of their price range at £25...

Paying £25 for a ticket I could walk up and get for £10 last year?

I wont be able to get any of the guys to come for £25, I can get premier league tickets at that price.

Was going to come this weekend, but looking at availability it looks like its easier to watch on SKY

sorry. I must pay more attention to the crowd, stewards and away fans than to the game........
I buy walk up tickets. I am not particularly pleased with the selection of seats left when I get there an hour before KO, but what the hell, these are the chances i take and choices I make.
There are appx 1,150 ST holders, leaving about 3,000 seats to choose from if you book on line or over the phone.
AA, AB, AH and AJ are the cheap seats, with AA and AB for the away crew. That's 1,000 seats at 500 a block. So, with 2,000 seats left to fill 1,000 being Jester, the rest premium, there is always a chance that you won't get seats together in prime position. This is not the clubs fault. To the poster who can't commit until match day, you can still call up in the morning and collect your tickets when you arrive.
I can see the point being made about openeing the North for Away fans only......but I refer you back to my observation regarding SKY, the request they made and the £1,200,000 that the club receives.
FWIW, on the club site, the Jester seats in AA, AH ans AJ are pretty much gone, so loads of walk ups may get a nasty suprise when the roll up and get asked for £25 notes instead of the £15 they expect to pay.

And you dont see this as a major problem?

This is a stupid thread.

1- away fans were behind the goal - we moaned it gave them an advantage

2 we moved to Lexus and they moved to the east stand - people moaned about having to sit in expensive seats.

3 we move back - everyone complains that the view is rubbish - get over it you spoiled noob the view is fine.

4 We complain away fans arent behind the goal.


our fans are idiots
