what they claim is the issue
the stand itself is designed to be used by supports of both teams so that can't be the issue
What was the stuff around access entry and exit was there an issue there?If that’s the answer they absolutely should
it'll be tickets in the away end, Swansea maybe bring 1k to 1.5k abd they will be in a stand that holds 6k and they haven't yet got it ready to be split support
How the fuck can it be sold out when the club say they are expecting 25K. This stuff really needs sorting out, its embarrassing
God nows how many ticket sales we lose when people look, see no tickets available, and don't keep checking to see if they're being drip fed out
Block 5 next??
The other sideThat sold yesterday
They'll probably say they can't do it because someone has put a massive fence up in the car park which makes access difficultWhat was the stuff around access entry and exit was there an issue there?
This is where a lot of the frustration comes from I think. We know it can be done so having the SAG / club just say it's not possible with no more detail given isn't going to be acceptedthey managed to do it for a 2000 allocation for Boro in the PO semi, can anyone sat in the south stand for that game comment on what the concourse situation was?
The other side
The next block into the south standNot sure what you mean Pete! There's only one block 5 and it's sold out. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding..

Ah ok, block 12 on one side or block 6 on the other. Both of those need to be accessed via South Stand turnstiles, so guessing they won't allow that at short notice.The next block into the south stand
What frustrates me most is the lack of information and the lack of intent. I just don't see any evidence that we are on the case, actively considering options for the stadium (which I know we don't own). Why not talk about it with the fans and share thoughts and ideas rather than giving the impression that it's all too difficult and can't be done for H&S issues which then looks like a huge excuse for inactivity. Get a top stadium design consultancy in and look at all options; it would pay for itself in no time from increased revenue.
Doug won’t be happy
Fair point but I want to be more convinced I guess - the mood music is never that positive particularly whenever SAG is mentioned !Tbf, in recent programme notes they said they are looking at solutions for the south Stand to provide more flexibility.

Apparently people throwing stuff.
Did anyone actually see that happen?
if that's the case and despite all the evidence put in front of them they refuse to allow us to operate the same way as every other club then someone needs to have a word with the local mediaProblem with the SAG like any bureaucrats you can give them all the evidence and plead all you like. But the morons in charge will not change a poor decision they have all ready made.

few articles highlighting how useless they are might embarrass them into action
Don Howe?More likely to work the other way. The more scrutiny the less risk averse they’ll be and no one was ever sacked for playing it safe.
Season ticket holders were allowed in block 10? I was there with my son. There are far more away supporters nowadays as well.We've had both sets of supporters in the South Stand for Gillingham, Crewe, Boro and Accrington, each with a different segregation point, plus we sold season tickets in there one season. Not sure what the issue is tbh.
You're more confident than me that if we wait a few more years the SAG will suddenly see sense and do their job properly. Not like this is the first time we've had issues, been going on for years.More likely to work the other way.

So so trueI have no faith in that. Safetyism is a ratchet, it only goes one way. Once a dumb decision has been made in the name of safety it’s unlikely every to be undone.
I don't know and if necessary we change formation. Would be ridiculous to risk injury by overplaying someone. I have no idea whether this is the case btw but if he needs a rest we should rest him.Who would you play right wing instead out of the current squad?
