Whats the point your making there are hundreds of seats available in kippax corner ?
The club would be 100% right
But it could hurt. People moved out with no equivalent seat for view, price and having to be around new people might just give up. Would you like to be turfed out of your seat that you’re happy with? If it doesn’t work how do you get those fans back.Give the stand to 1894 group, have it as the semi-organized European "ultra" part of the ground with standing, flags, inflatables and any other experiments that the group want to try. If it doesn't work out so be it, but it can't hurt.

People would be welcome to keep their seats, of course, but if they are specifically paying for the family stand experience then they'd have to move to where the family stand is.But it could hurt.

I think the club should be enforcing the rule that only family groups with an U16 should be in the area, and try to reduce the size of it. They need to offer a season ticket price that increases gradually from kids price in the FS to full price at 25 or so, rather than a sudden jump, to ease the transition to other areas. They could try enticing people around the ground to move their seats along a row in order to reduce isolated singles and create doubles and groups of availability for these supporters to move into, e.g. by offering a free shirt or free Carabao tickets for a season, that sort of thing.regardless someone’s not going to agree with potential changes..
but it’s worked at uk clubs already and others are following
It was also on Boxing Day with next to no public transport. Our seats were empty because there was no way of getting a train from Edinburgh to Manchester. That seemed to affect teams all around the country.Watching the other games in MOTD last night and there were lots of empty seats at places like the London Stadium and Carrow Road. Covid is stopping people going at the moment. It’s like that across hospitality and other leisure activities.
Initially the club graciously offered fuck all but after supporters voiced their outrage they got £50 off their next SC only from memory.That’s exactly what happened when the family stand was created by the club. Older fans and families who had been sat in the North stand since the club moved from Maine Road were forced to move to other parts of the ground by the club to make way for the family stand. If I remember correctly the club gave them all an incentive to move. Can’t remember what that incentive was. Anyone?
That’s my point though. It’s not a good look and needs to be done carefully.its a bit late for that though. Lots of people have already been turfed out of their seats. Lots of people who were in the north stand before the family stand for instance.
