Absolutely 100% spot .on is there no national letters page or remotely sympathetic journo out there to get it to a wider readership ? It deserves it .well done

It can happen. As long as there is a groundswell of readership on social media you can sometimes get weird little off-shoots from it. Was asked to be on Radio 4 from a Norwich article one time and something I wrote on the London Paralympics was published in the London Evening Standard.

Hopefully similar might happen here because this is a very rare example of something I've written where I'm not arsed about getting hits for my site - and certainly dont expect to get financial gain from it - but just want it out there.
Genuinely fucks me off how things are heading and there should be a counter-argument put forward.

I have no idea how twitter or Facebook works but can you not send it to every journo you know ? And can people on here not like or what ever
Its called .I feel very strongly that this article is too good to be lost on the interweb !!

Very difficult to argue with many of the points raised. In terms of our own club few if any can't be anything but happy with our progress BUT I for one hope that they are able to accommodate all comers regardless of their spending power.
It seems obvious that to reintroduce safe standing in selected areas could be a solution, say on the lower level of the South stand. This would give the opportunity to provide lower cost tickets in this area.
Not new thinking but seems to help resolve many issues such as cost, atmosphere etc etc

Stuart Brennan seems like a very reasonable guy, perhaps give him a try as well.
