Where is the representation of people who currently sit in the North Stand on these Fans Forums, if that's what the Club calls meaningful consultation then its not on. I can tell you that everyone I spoke to today about this was absolutely furious and I've promised them an update as to what the Clubs response is to me. Once we have the response if it isn't the one we want you can expect a coordinated action from many in the North Stand.
Firstly: Furious about what? The club make the NS bigger, but they aren't proposing to ask you to leave your seat are they? It's just a considered possibility of people moving to the available seats. If they do move to safe standing rail seating I'm sure you'll be given the option to move or stay just like those impacted by 93:20. Some stayed a load more moved, the choice was theres the same way as it will be yours.
Secondly: The Family Stand, the lower tier was created by the displacement of existing season ticket holders and seems to be no longer fit for purpose given the number of Mums, Dad's, Aunts & Uncles who seem to forget the kids on matchdays but enjoy discounted season tickets. City just need a proper pricing for kids and improve the child facilities in all stands. Uncle can the buy his own ticket without counting on the no cost upgrade to an adult.
Those that moved to SS3 didn't know what they were getting, other than in a lot of cases cheaper season tickets, and neither do you. Yes voice your opinion to the club, get a petition if you want, but if the Family Stand moves and if that effects you, you have a choice. Move to the new Family area or stay where you are and pay the new ticket price.
You never know you might enjoy it..
