Why dont you fuck off you selfish sod. As has been said on many occaiosns its about moving and not about the price hike

How am I selfish chesterguy? I didn't know about any of the moving before I posted what I did otherwise I would have mentioned it wouldn't I? Forgive me for not trawling through 58 pages to find that out.

Fair enough then I dont know if you would have or not many of here have done. The attitude of many on here seems we North standers should stop maoning and move and be pleased to. It has even been suggested that wherever we move too will have a better view and atmosphere than the North stand.

Well I have a suggestion why dont the club base the season ticket allocation on number of years of of being a season ticket holder I wonder how many in the SS would be plaesed if a load of old timers from the North stand evicted them from their seats

they should stagger yor increase over the next 3 seasons.

But i agree that moving from where you like just to let kids in is a bit unfair. But so many other threads over the season have moaned about wanting louder more adult sections, so shoving all the kids in one is one answer.
I sit east lower, like i did at maine road, and like i stood at maine road, so i know that if i was made to move frmo the view i've watched from for over 20 years i'd be a bit miffed too.

But many in the posts ive read are parents moaning about having to pay more for their kids - and to those people, read my 1st post :)

Having fully read up on everything now, it seems that the idea of turning the whole of the North Stand into a family stand in one fell swoop is a pretty foolish one. Why not just put a stop on newcomers that don't meet the criteria and give the existing ticket holders a 2 or 3 year period in which to shift? As the stand begins to fill with more and more kids, it's likely that they'd voluntarily want to shift anyway eventually. Forcing them out seems a bit draconian.

And are they sure they've properly thought it all through? Those that are forced out of the North Stand will fill the season-ticket gaps that exist elsewhere in the ground. Then in a couple of years time, what happens to the lad and dad who've been sat in the North Stand for 8 years when little Johnny turns 17? They're kicked out of the North Stand as they don't meet any of the criteria but there's nowhere else for them to go. Hardly seems fair.

So if any of you North Standers have got a child whose around 14 years old, I'd look at taking this opportunity to move now before it's too late and you end up with nothing in two or three years time.

I'm all for kids at the match (it's how we all started) but dedicating an entire stand to them seems ridiculous.

Shit thats us.

So if we stay put in North stand Level1 then we might end up with moving to the back of the gods as the only option as everywhere else decent is likely to be full?

1/8th of the capacity dedicated to families. Let's not get carried away here.

If we're as successful as we all hope we will be, you'll be lucky to even get the back of the gods. They've removed an entire end of the stadium from your list of options, the SS is already full, and the L1 and L2 on the sides will be full/expensive, so it'll just be L3 available. They'd best hurry up and expand the South Stand!

Anyone know any information on the Valuecards?? what does it mean by the for fans expecting 'no thrills'? that its only available to use against blackburn,wigan, stoke etc?

It seems to me they havent really looked at the survery response properly, they already had their ideas and thats why they was askign the questions in that survey... i mean nearly everything in that survey is being implemented in the wrong way

I mean there was a question in regards to having a season car parking pass at a reduced rate...
I've seen on the site today that 'this reduced pass' costs £150 for the season - £7.90 a game...whereas it only costs £5 a game at the moment - madness!!

Do you want entertainment for kids at the game? do you want a more eifficient bar staff?
I.E they were implying, do you want a strictly family stand with a circus act to keep the kids entertained and no one without kids to be moved and charged & we will implement a great new state of the art, designed by us - 6 beer dispenser at a cost of 5% to all of you?

This sucks. So we can stay put and be really shafted in 3 years with more expense for much worse seats or we can move now if we can find somewhere but that will cost the lad twice as much and probably cost me shedloads more too unless the South Stand still has ST seats spare?

And I have sat in the gods and I can assure you that it is feckin soul-less even compared to the North Stand before someone tells me how good the seats are all over the stadium.

They mean it in a budget-airline type of way. i.e. you don't get to choose where you sit, you just get what you're given. I imagine you'll be allocated the single seats amongst groups of season ticket seats that are virtually impossible to sell.

What I can't figure out is whether it's open to non-season ticket holders or only existing season-ticket holders.

Yeah i thought something similar to that, but, that totally eliminates buying a season ticket (ValueCard) for you and a mate wanting to sit together doesnt it!)
