No point engaging you just ignore and keep swinging the blowssound mate, is it a strange POV to think city fans and the people who use this forum should be represented by someone who challenges poor decisions?
So if you are unwilling to call this ok at fans forum why shouldn't someone else have a go?
That really wasn’t what I said come on play fair
Yep reallyReally?
So they will ignore you if you ask them about it in a public forum?No point engaging you just ignore and keep swinging the blows
There’s way of challenging and ways you will be ignored
fill your boots
Fair enoughYou might want to edit your post if that's not what you meant because that's how it sounds.
I think the decision is wrongSo they will ignore you if you ask them about it in a public forum?
How does that work? Yes they can try and deflect but you can follow up on it and push the point.
The way they will ignore you is email the HoM
That wasn't a challenge Pete?Fair enough
I’ve challenged the decision and asked the club why
I think (being charitable) it's because the club's or more specifically those who advise them are risk adverse to say the least. At worst it's because they are clueless about best practice in large stadia and authoritarian.Ok let’s all calm down
Why do you think the decision is being taken?
it’s not to reduce atmosphere
It’s not to annoy you
It’s not to make the atmosphere worse
Why do you think it is?
Mark tends to reply very honestly and transparently to be fairSo they will ignore you if you ask them about it in a public forum?

No, you ask what was the incident that led to the decision? Then you challenge why should a heavy handed action was taken over such a minor incident.I think the decision is wrong
Well the decision has been taken in discussion with the safety advisory group and the police liaison officer
Well it’s wrong cause I’m annoyed and many fans are annoyed
Ok thanks but we will stick with the decision based on the advice we’ve received
Now what??
As I say I’ve asked the club let’s see what the reason is and debate that
No, no i don't. Let's be truthful now.Mark tends to reply very honestly and transparently to be fair
you sound like the trust reps who go and show how much they know and how much they should be listened to and then get completely ignored
What you want to do is not change anything you just want to shout and whingeThat wasn't a challenge Pete?
A challenge would be something like
"Hi Mark,
I hope you are well.
I was wondering if you could help answer a question that a number of disgruntled fans on our forum have. Why have the seats in blocks 2 and 3 been taken off sale? Was it a SAG instruction and if so what caused them to ask this as there has been no incidents that seem to justify these actions?
Many thanks.
Why assume stuff you don’t know to be true?No, you ask what was the incident that led to the decision? Then you challenge why should a heavy handed action was taken over such a minor incident.

That's not shouting and whinging is it Pete.What you want to do is not change anything you just want to shout and whinge
i want to find solutions and change decisions based on evidence and good working relationships
I am, you doNo, no i don't. Let's be truthful now.
What do I assume? I said you establish why the decision was taken i.e. the actual incident. Is it an assumption now to say that something must of caused this decision?Why assume stuff you don’t know to be true?
What you want to do is not change anything you just want to shout and whinge
i want to find solutions and change decisions based on evidence and good working relationships
What results have you got? There's been nearly a season of awful decisions and nothing has changedI am, you do
I’m not having a go I accept my practice is a certain way of going about things that believes building relationship is the only way to influence
You feel tackling everything as a confrontation gets better results
That’s ok it’s not right and wrong I’m sure you’ve found that works well as I have found the way I work gets results too
This exactly, there is no evidence the please like me method has worked. In fact there's plenty of evidence that it's not working.There is no example I am aware of where a decision has been changed though. Why are tickets sales still restricted in 14-16, there is no reason for it. When will that change come?
All we see are more restrictions, more closed blocks, more netting, more steel fencing outside, more stewards, more police. Where does this end? This is lunacy and needs to be challenged. It is harming our football club. The police bill alone must be enormous.
That needs sorting can’t do a lot when the sun is high but once it reflects through the glass window it blinds you, the windows need blacking out.The North Stand is fine…..at night….but during the day you’re often looking straight into the sun - hopeless.
Not sure why you are supporting this PeteIt doesn’t so why do you think the decisions has been made?
Feels like the kisses at the start of this message are unnecessarily cozy, sort it out ffsHi xxxx
Great to see you yesterday
Lots of questions being asked about why tickets have been taken off sale for blocks 2 and 3.
Was it a safety decision and one the club had any say over?
The feeling is that this and extending the segregation from the blocks in the corner is having a negative impact on the atmosphere in the stadium
Anyway would be useful to know why the decision has been made?
Thanks
Pete
i want to know what trouble they are expecting in that tunnel as there's usually half of WMP and 90 stewards just standing thereWe already have 2000 police and 1300 stewards in singers corner .. do the safety group and authorities think coventry fans are 1990s galatasary ?
Good pointFeels like the kisses at the start of this message are unnecessarily cozy, sort it out ffs
I’m notNot sure why you are supporting this Pete
Trouble is there are quite a number of our fans not all youngsters either who love to face the away fans and do the goading and hand gesture bit, pathetic really and that encourages a response. While that continues blocks 11,12 & 13 will remain closed.We already have 2000 police and 1300 stewards in singers corner .. do the safety group and authorities think coventry fans are 1990s galatasary ?

Why haven’t you sorted iti want to know what trouble they are expecting in that tunnel as there's usually half of WMP and 90 stewards just standing there
No wonder it's bloody crowded up there - almost as many cops and stewards as fans!We already have 2000 police and 1300 stewards in singers corner .. do the safety group and authorities think coventry fans are 1990s galatasary ?
