I’ve answered that

Not really, not getting a response is not really an acceptable outcome.

Or are you not going to really push so you don't upset a bunch of people who likely won't be there soon anyway?

Is there anyone on the site at the moment who has a ticket for 1 of the seats in the 30's that is showing as unsold.I just wonder if there is double selling here .Glad I'am not sat there.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

This is amazing, I am now in segregation from both the Middlesbrough and Coventry fans for Sunday's game. What a bunch of clowns.

 

[Fergusons_Beard]

I must just say, you’ve been immense on here Sky Blue Pete….bombarded with so many questions and not sure where you fit into the hierarchy at the club or maybe just a fan doing some liaison work ?

Pete’s a Fan representative on the liaison board thingy committee.

Without blowing smoke up his arse-does a great job keeping us informed of club matters but also crucially being a fabulous conduit for our opinions and questions.

Keep up the great work Pete

Nobody can think of one though (a logical one, because they will have a reason and it will be entirely devoid of logic). They're segregating one set of Coventry fans from another. It's a bit batshit.

They are afraid of the ruffians in block 14 running through blocks 11 and 12 or I guess lobbing stuff into the away end if they can get near enough.
As I said elsewhere if you have CCTV evidence of people being violent identify them and ban them. Don’t act like you’re shit scared of them and close whole blocks.

it's easier to run through an empty block though

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

wait until they see how much tea and coffee we're all going to drink! That'll teach 'em

Wait till you taste the tea and coffee, shit tea bags and instant coffee

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Cool so I'm guessing the game is now sold out officially then

29k sell out?

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Do you think Boddy and co are reading this thread?

Should be.

 

[GaryPendrysEyes]

I guess they will put some barrier between 14 and 13.

 

[Bennosdancingfeet]

Should have opened 13 and 12….

ludicrous having cov fans segregated from cov fans.

been a shit Show from start to finish

 

[David O'Day]

The SAG is an extension of the council so they'll be subject to FOI legislation?

 

[David O'Day]

No barrier is harder to get by than a a good few hundred people

 

[Evo1883]

29k sell out?

Is it 29000 ? Have they announced that

 

[Evo1883]

Hospitality isn’t is it?

Not sure

Quite or just put up some see through netting like they do on the continent to prevent projectiles.

Take a Switzerland flag...

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Take a Switzerland flag...

I was thinking it was probably half and half scarf territory...

I joke, I joke!

Seriously though, if there is a goal for either team, do I cheer?

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Just guessing that will be approx attendance

 

[SuperFred]

Just guessing that will be approx attendance

2.5k less away fans and 1.5k more home fans than the Brum game so you're probably close

I've said it before but I really don't think their concern is to separate 14 from the away fans. They are miles apart anyway. I suspect they have a paranoid desire to keep boisterous 14 away from the (occasional, perhaps naive?) home fans they are now allowing into 11 and 12. That would also explain why they weren't offering chlld tickets in 11 and 12? It's the only explanation I can think of, but if true they seem very coy in admitting it.
(Most people in 15 & 16 are likely fully aware of noisy corner, and have positively chosen to be near it).
It's time SAG and the club started treating the people in 14 as valued paying customers rather than a 'problem', and they might find the stewarding actually gets easier. To that end I was glad recently to hear they are looking at safe standing in the corner.

I don’t know whether you’re being sarcastic or nice
I’m just an ordinary man doing ordinary things trying to see all sides

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Block 13, 10 and 6 not sold total 2k.

2000 tickets for boro in block 7/8/9.

32k capacity minus the 2k not sold and minus 1k not sold in the away end.

 

[JAM See]

I'm not going to apologise for repeating myself.

Why was the site showing no seats available on the 10th May at 9.00PM, then showing lots available at 1.30PM on the 11th?

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Club are clowns mate

Would probably cite national security as a reason for not responding.

No, just don't go "ok" when the fob you off and then chase up answers to your questions.

If you want to be a representative of a group of fans then do it.

Recently you seem to have been trying really hard no to upset the club even if that is what is required to represent people.

From season tickets to ticket sales you have been a bit of prick to people who are critical of the club.

Totally disagree. They are going to a football game, not a show at the theatre.

The majority had 200+ points which means they are likely to have been to away matches.

The biggest thing is the stand behind the goal is over 18s only. Not like it will be a family zone behind the goal.

Even, even, even if a few kids managed to get near the Middlesbrough fans, there's still and ENTIRE block of segregation!

Overly harsh and a bit full on tbh.

He does a good job and if you think the way of maintaining relationships is just to upset everyone and constantly demand answers when you’ve been told no a million times, then it’s probably good you’re not in that role.

Appreciate we need answers, but it needs to be a balanced approach.

And also need to balance that Pete has a job and a family. He can't spend every waking hour chasing everyone's individual questions.

 

[mark82]

And just to be clear, it's representation at a forum that happens every 6 to 8 weeks. There are supporter liaison contacts on the website if you want someone whose job it actually is.

Im in there too. Welcome to operation human shield, some of us make die, but its a sacrifice SAG are willing to make

A balanced approach is not just accepting being fobbed off or no answers at all.

I am sorry but at the moment he seems to want to stay mates with people at the club and that isn't good.

You can reply with "I'm sorry but I'm not really sure that will be acceptable to the supporters I represent" from time to time

I have asked him to bring it up at the forum and he had a hissy fit.
