Attendance v Swansea

[gingerthai]

Does anyone believe this part:

"The club has received numerous complaints regarding persistent standing in the block in which you are seated. "

found this on the ever reliable wiki
Swansea City and its supporters are unofficially known as 'Jacks'. One explanation for this name is that during the 17th century, sailors from Swansea were respected and any 'Swansea Jack' was allowed to join the crew based simply on the town's reputation for good sailors. Many, however, believe that the name originates from the renowned life-saving dog Swansea Jack.

Beat you to it Mat look 3 posts above. ;)

I believe there will have been complaints yes. I've moved about 30 seats to the right as 109 became fully standing last season and my dad at 67 can't stand up all game every game. We didn't complain, just moved across a bit though it's still a pain in the arse as I knew everyone around me after being there for years.

To be fair you will get legitimate reasons like your own. I do question how many will have complained though. As you said yourself you didnt. You would also think the majority who know they want to sit down would avoid those blocks.

Is this not a good thing? People who want to stand know where they have to be to stand. People who want to sit down can without someone stood in their way.
I think the club should be commended for taking a relaxed approach to standing in the south stand and the singing block.

How will one block hold all the people that want to stand?

There's more than one block in the south stand

I was basing that on the turn-out for the Community Shield game...

Why? This isn't a friendly.

Swansea?

Do me a favour...

You've lost me.

I'm gutted to be honest. I enjoy standing.

I think you've missed the point. Its been said that next season only 111 will be alllowed to stand. So that is only 1 block that can stand.

If you read the letter it says the south stand as well

No idea why you'd draw that conclusion. But I'm not a funny ****.

As for "it's only Swansea", I go to watch City and who we are playing, so long as it's a meaningful game is of little importance. Same for most blues I know. You may be different which is fair enough but I'd take a league game against Swansea vs a friendly against anyone, any day of the week.

There's about 800 seats in 111 I'd say about 10000 (we took 9000 to Old Trafford for the semi and nobody wanted to sit down nor told anyone else to sit down, I bet it was double that at Wembley for the semi and the final so I bet there's more than 10000!) fans around the ground would like to stand at eeryone single football game (I know I do but I sit in 105, there'll be LOADS like me all over the place).

10000 into 800 doesn't fit!

No one has said the south stand cannot stand
