TICKETS (10 Viewers)

I may be wrong but 13 is the bit above the exit into under the stands so quite separate in any case

isnt the most likely issue here the club haven’t got enough police to monitor the area?

That may be the discussion or are only willing to pay for a certain number

 

[Grendel]

yes in all probability that’s likely the actual issue

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

That's based off the assumption stewards will act like bouncers if it kicks off , when half of them are more timid than my daughter

Yes most of them are just robots in orange jackets, although the woman steward that ran on to tackle the pitch invader the other week I wouldn't mess with

 

[shmmeee]

It’s not the club

I don’t mean the club. I mean the stadium safety group. I seriously doubt the club is to blame for any of this. Apart maybe from fucking yo ticketmaster and not doing priority sale. But there’s no way they wouldn’t sell every ticket they’re allowed to.

 

[bigfatronssba]

So an update
I’ve asked Colin Henderson who chairs the supporters forum and is a member of sag to follow up the decisions with ccfc
Also the club has confirmed that the reason given for by the stadium safety team was to stop migration from singers corner into the south stand
And yes I have asked who makes up the stadium safety team.
I don’t think it’s many tickets (few hundreds) so the capacity crowd is likely to be slightly lower than the Birmingham game
Think this conversation will run and run

Pete if you get the chance please ask why they think a fence and 1500 city fans already in blocks 11 & 12 won’t stop migration into the south stand, but a picture of Jimmy Hill will?

 

[Nobbie_67]

My points went up…..so I’m guessing everyone’s will in time

The full 230 points for your new season ticket?

Also, the lower part of block 13 is next to that large exit tunnel, so it would be impossible to get into the south stand from there anyway.
Even if we accept their ridiculous argument, there is no reason not to open the lower part of the block

The club is to blame for the piss poor communication regarding this.

Fans have a right to know the reasons

I’ve alluded to what I think is part of the answer. We’d probably need to see what the plan is on the day and how it works before saying told you so
It’s why Colin is part of the sag with his professional expertise and chair of the supporters forum.
Im sure he’s be interested in the discussion.

 

[Garlana86]

Was there many long term posters/fans on here who didnt get a ticket for Sunday? Imagine there was a quite a few?

I’m not certain how many… but it must be around that number. I’m almost 1200 now up from 900

They’ve been busy but once the game is done a full evaluation should be shared will the club.
It’s a thankless task though but they have to see this as engaging the fan base and encouraging them to part with their money as seeing how open and logical and rational decisions are

I’ll add for balance that as humans we are never happy and always ask why and why and why

This decision (bar grendels challenge about police) has been made by the stadium safety team

And still it’s the club for some

 

[David O'Day]

i'd be interested to see if the club/safety team know about the fence between 12 and 13 as they didn't know about the roller stutters in the south stand

 

[djr8369]

This has got to be a first. Has there ever been a game anywhere in the country where home fans have been segregated from other home fans. Its embarrassing.

A big part of the problem here is lack of communication. If restrictions are being put in place because there is more trouble at the CBS than elsewhere then why aren't we getting statements saying that? Put the reasons out there and be prepared to back them up because saying the CBS requires all these additional measures not seen elsewhere doesn't track with the published stats on arrests at grounds around the country.

Not to mention if we've got blocks of segregation and hundreds of police and stewards isn't there a question mark about how they are doing their job if opposing fans can wander over to each other and have a punch up?

When it’s an isolated incident don’t the police just let it play out and arrest after?

This is a different year. Leeds ran on when Jonathan Gould fucked it up in the last minute, loads of them in fancy dress. It was weird seeing coppers (in fancy dress) being chaser by actual coppers. Most of the Coventry ran on from the West Terrace and then quickly ran off. It was harder to get on from the East Terrace (where I was as it was heavily policed and there was still a reasonably sized fence). The bad last day vs Leeds was a few years later in 1996 when we drew 0-0 and things turned nasty on the pitch with fans fighting and police horses etc

Just to add my tuppence to these games...

I was in the Kop for its last day at the 3-3 and remember the West Terrace running on and then running off a bit sharpish when the Leeds fans charged them.

For the dreadful 0-0, it kicked off in the Mercers/Sky Blue Tavern before the game, which didn't bode well. I was on the pitch after the game and it was chaos. Got hit from behind by some Leeds fan and figured it was wise to leave, headed over to the corner between the WT and main stand and helped open that big yellow gate for the mounted police to come on.

Anywho, bring on Sunday!

Yup it’s that little section I remember looking at it during the Brum game wondering why they hadn’t opened it. Guess it’s seen as a bit of a choke point easier to block off.

You must want to smash your head on the wall with answers like that. If they sell block 13, people can't move through a block that's full. Madness.

 

[Covcraig@bury]

It'll have a Boyle Sports banner over it.

The more I think about this the more it makes sense .
Boyle will want maximum advertising as they can and this is it……

But we don’t actually have that right do we? We don’t own the club or anything.

Think they knew but were trying to pull the wool over the forum and Doug’s eyes. We all make mistakes. Not good enough though and had I been more knowledgable I would have challenged it immediately as I have done since and with blocks opening up for this game that have been used by away supporters they know they got it wrong

 

[GaryPendrysEyes]

Pete, could you ask:
Excluding idiots running on the pitch (which is a different thing) how many Cov fans have been given bans for threatening or violent behaviour within the CBS, Ricoh?? Year by year for the last 10 seasons, where relevant.

Could be worse. They could have refunded you the whole amount and gave you no tickets.

I do every meeting
I share the agenda
I share the answers

I know you do and thanks for doing so - but if CCFC pay people to be supporters liaisons then they could/should also make themselves available on forums like this no?
