Garry Cook - Clueless

[KenTheLandlord]

can you name a few?

relocation of car parking and further distance to walk

possible different and more congested route to games to access new parking area

increased costs for ST's

splitting up established communities of fans

possible difficulites for older fans who have to move from level 1 upto level 3

The only way that rubbish would affect you, is if this is how you travelled to the ground from your car.

I really cannot believe some of the garbage on here. If you have a nearest and dearest you wanna sit with - then go and relocate together ! FFS

Its not difficult !

Cab people not understand that things had to change ? We are a top 6 team now, and there had to be changes. We cant be the same little club we were 3 years ago.

Still no answers to the questions put forward?

And who has asked for a cut in prices? Who has asked to be 'kept'?

(Although, if you want to talk about being 'kept' then I assume you are going to explain to me why the fans are the only people at the club adjudged not to be pulling their financial weight at this time? No? Again, you can't explain it and make no effort to)

I am asking why the fans are the only people worse off?

How difficult is it to get that?

(I've just deleted from here a sentence about how of course the only priority of someone who lives on the other side of the world will be for the team to win everything and how the fan's treatment won't be an issue. Even I realise how badly and crass that comes across and how it doesn't take into account personal circumstances I can have no idea of. But from my position and faced with that last post, it is an easy, but snide comment that seems tempting to make when someone who presumable isn't going to the match is lecturing others on how they should pay whatever it takes to make the team win - especially when that payment is having absolutely no bearing on whether the team wins whatsoever)

You seem to be ranting from the standpoint that the fans are being ripped off. The vast majority of fans may well be put out by the moves they are going to have to make - but the price rise? Nah, nobody, and I mean nobody, will be giving up their S/T because of it, simply because there is a wide range of price brackets in the ground to cater to most people's financial situations - including a 250 pound season ticket. 250 quid to come and watch a group of players who next season will probably be as talented as any other team in the whole fucking world.

To be quite honest, the level of cynicism you've shown in this thread is bordering on malicious. No matter who you aim your argument at, be it Cook, Khaldoon, or the owners, it just doesn't stand up.

Sorry mate but that's melodramatic claptrap.

Quick phone call, couple of minutes extra to get bearings first game.

Job done. No tears.

Sorry mate-but that's totally dismissive of some very valid points.

you must have cried solid for a week when we moved ground. How did you cope with all those new nasty fellow blues around you.

Shadygiz is right, there are a lot of olderfans North level1 who would not be able to see anything from the 3rd tiers (rear seats are the free ones), and may have problems getting up there.

Where are the other blocks of spare seats? Front of North Level 1!

There is no choice.

Other than picking up the phone and asking?

There are thousands of seats in tier one available for the dozen or so people this may apply to.

But Dave they all need to sit together, in the same way, in the same conversion, with the same hampers they have had since the year oohhh 2003.

You don't know anyone else's personal situation in that stand.You don't know whether or not they can afford to move seats.We may lose them as fans due to them having no choice in the matter.You don't know anything.

One thing I do know is that it is a bad time to be forcing-yes,forcing people to move seats.
No amount of "comedy" pics and silly digs will change that.

In the North Stand where they have to leave.

Season tickets sold out on level 1 bar the North Stand.
