Yep... 93:20 is only on the Southern section of CBL2 and ESL2. The Northern section (which is separated in each stand by a full hospitality/corporate section on the half way line) has not been converted to GA+ seating (yet).Are you sure? I think the 93:20 are included in those full blocks,not certain though.
The supporter gets a guaranteed seat/significant discount on the matchday price and the club gets to know weeks in advance if they’re turning up or not, avoiding the problem of no-shows and season ticket hogging. You talk a lot of sense jrb but in the scheme of things flexis are not a problem, they have gone to fans who are loyal and vocal, it’s horses for courses like a lot of things fans have paid for over the years like Superbia, Platinum, cup schemes, Joe’s, parking, 93:20 etcA start would be to fuck Flexi Gold off + the £150 markup (for good), and instead offer new normal season tickets for the expanded North stand.
But Khaldoon, Soriano & Co aren't going to take any notice of a no-mark posting on Blue Moon.
In 2022/23 block 204 and part of 202 (north side of EL2) were taken out of GA and started at £1,750 for a new sports bar. It will creep block by block.Yep... 93:20 is only on the Southern section of CBL2 and ESL2.

It is arguably 2/3 years too late.I can't agree with many of today's posts...
The expansion is definitely needed. We shouldn't judge it based on a low-key, midweek game in late November. Instead, we should base it on the derby and Liverpool at home (plus games like Real Madrid in the Champions League) where demand is far higher than the current capacity.
Hopefully, it will benefit us regulars in the long term (the club will lower prices for games like last night to ensure more seats are filled).
I do think the increased GA+ seating capacity (as well as the lack of a push for 'atmosphere' in the expanded NS) will lead to essentially a bigger version of the current NS, though (lots of tourists/away fans/empty seats when compared with areas like SSL1). The club (Soriano) want Disney Land. They don't care about the atmosphere or hardcore fans. They want ANYONE who will go and spend a lot of money (on tickets and in the club shop) to fill the stadium. It's not about support; it's about revenue.
Tunnel club mostly!What are the empty seats below, at L1?
Flexi Gold is bad for fans. It's a money grab from the club (otherwise, they would just offer new season card holders the choice of Flexigold or a standard season card - I know which one I'd take).The supporter gets a guaranteed seat/significant discount on the matchday price and the club gets to know weeks in advance if they’re turning up or not, avoiding the problem of no-shows and season ticket hogging.

I would have thought Flexi gold is a good idea if you can't make the game & if you can't it gets sold onFlexi Gold is bad for fans.

Asking fans to pay £150 more than a normal season card is wrong.
Asking fans to log in and buy a ticket for each game proves it's not a season card; it's a membership that guarantees discounted matchday tickets.
Having to log in three weeks before a game and not being able to transfer or cancel the purchase afterwards is not flexible.
It's a terrible idea, and it comes at the expense of proper season cards, which are the lifeblood of a fanbase.
Also, if you remember one of our lot said the other week that his mate who had Flexi Gold couldn't get a derby ticket as he logged on the day after the 3 week deadline was up and the club had already flogged it. Now I get that it's the responsibility of the fan to make sure they don't miss the deadline but people have other stuff going on in their lives, could easily forget to do it, and by the time they've remembered it's then too late.Flexi Gold is bad for fans.
