North Stand Construction Discussion

1894 statement has been posted to social media

Yes I think having 7/8000 rail seats in the extended stand plus plus SS3 rail seating is a silly red line. Does anyone think 10, 000 ish standing nearly 1 in 6 fans is what is wanted or needed ?
Plus just IMO 70% of the 8000 being S/C holders is too many, closer to 50/60 % is closer to whats needed.

I’m pleased to hear they’ve included alcohol free areas and religious rooms, just what you need at the match - these will ensure that the place is absolutely bouncing

Faustian fucking pact

:-(

You said "They are better staying in SS".

I'm saying they're not better staying in SS, they're much better moving to NS.

Happy to correct you ;-)

They say they're staying in SS1...I'm conveying their current thoughts.

Happy to keep correcting you.

I'm not bothered whether they relocate or not, but if they do I hope they have more influence over the atmosphere than they currently have.

We’re not selling close to 31,000 match day tickets every home game.

What does everyone reckon are the chances of them opening up new season ticket sales for the expansion?

Probably.

At wembley in cup finals and semis 18,000 of the 33,000 allocation we get is lower tier. Practically all of the lower tier stands. It’s a myth to think fans won’t stand or there isn’t an appetite to stand - or that there’s somehow not enough singers to go there.

It’s up to the club to make it more attractive atmosphere wise than the south stand. A larger safestanding area is a signal from the club to say they are serious on atmosphere

I'm hoping some increased noise from the north stand will lead to some fans in my block joining in.
Stand up for the champions gets some on their feet, as does the occasional Poznan, but it's dead much of the time and my voice in isolation is not a good idea!!

I also feel like a lot of one off match goers wouldn’t be too bothered if they had to stand unless they had a disability of some sort.

I was there. You obviously were not.

So was I and it is bullshit, how the fuck would you know how an opposition player felt.

I'm happy to take that correction, although you did originally state that they'd be better off staying in SS.

And on your last point I absolutely agree with you, I hope they can have more influence on atmosphere than they do at the minute. Time will tell, but their statement isn't the most positive unfortunately.
