The Waiting List

[Kakhaber Tskhadadze K.O.T.A.]

What you have to bear in mind is that if they do one stand it will almost certainly be filled. It will hold 6000 people and of this, at least 1000 will be away fans if not more. That leaves 5000. You then have the displeased and displaced level 2 padded seat lot (myself included) who will want to move and will quite likely end up in there. My estimate is that there will at least 2000 ST holders wanting to relocate from those areas. Even if some move elsewhere, you will get some ST holders who want to move to the new stand and pay less from other parts of the ground so I actually think demand will be high and therefore that stand will be sold out.

If they just build one then there will be empty seats for match day tickets but many of these will be in the now sparsly populated padded seats and be priced at £100 plus a game so not attracting back any of the fans who had left for financial reasons.

This is why in my opinion they should build 2 and price it the same. One stand (North) could then be filled by mainly ST holders from level 2 (Lets face it, not the noisiest bunch), movers from other areas wanting cheaper price and waiting list people who dont want South Stand.

The other stand (south) could be filled by the waiting list people who want a bit more atmosphere, movers who want atmosphere and the odd match ticket.

What I think building two would create is lots more available seats in both the padded areas and up in the gods on level 3 of CB and ES. Out of sight and out of mind for anyone worried about empty seats.

Maybe match day tickets could then be reduced for those areas to a more reasonable level. Just above ST cost but not reaching the ridiculous levels of £50 a game.

The club could then use incentive marketing for games to make it more appealing to families and get more people in.

Rags, Liverpool etc will sell out but clearly against teams like Hull and Fulham it will be a struggle so they could do a family of four for £60 or something like that for those games as the seats will be available.

At least having the space, gives the club more options on ticket prices and attracting fans back in.

Disappointing so far that we have not become involved in this away fan initiative that I thinbk is great and one that all clubs should follow.

If only the south stand is built - then only those level 2 seats south of the dugout/directors box/half way line in the CB & ES will be converted to corporate - Those seats in L2 North of the halfway line will only go corporate if the North stand is built.

Where was that mentioned. I didnt see that.

Straight from the horses mouth - Danny Wilson rang me a couple of months ago after I had a little moan about being ousted for corporate types when the proposal was first mentioned. He said as we all sit in the north section of the CB2 then we would only be affected if they build the North stand and that would only happen if there was demand for additional seats (Hence the "£100 waiting list" to gauge serious demand) . Fair play to Danny, he rang me on a Friday night about 7:00pm and was on for 45 minutes explaining everything.

If we built a level 3 on the north stand could we not consider using levels 2/3 as the family stand and having the lower tier as the "One end" a lot of our supporters seem to crave

Well I am North side of CB too so maybe not affected. Not sure how they can justify the price rise on one side and not on the other for the same view in the same seat. I accept that you get access to a bar but at least £400 a year for access to a bar seems hefty!

That's not a bad idea ell ..... although I'd imagine it would be logistical nightmare for the City ticket office - (L2s and NL1 relocations all at the same time + new season tickets ) , but it would help to create a better atmosphere at the north end.<br /><br />-- Fri Oct 18, 2013 11:58 am --<br /><br />

The carpets, upholstered booth seating , plastered walls and chandeliers mate - that's where the £400 is going apparently .

that's a great shout

No way will the club look to have practically the whole south end of the ground moved to the opposite end. It's virtually unworkable.

I didn't mean that, good as it is. I meant the reciprocal agreement between clubs to charge the away fans from each club the same amount.

I think Newcastle and West Brom have set an amount of £15 for each others games.

Im not sure in the world of increasing revenue that we seem to be in now that this will take off for us.
