The worst thing is that trialled is double "l" FFS
The worst thing is that trialled is double "l" FFSis this a wind up? some of our supporters seem to have basic comprehension issues
because that is what they can do this season without any actual workIf that’s the plan, why trial it the other way round?
Why? Sounds logistically more difficult.
Thanks for your resilienceI’ve been asking for this for years , it’s now ( possibly) coming true . I feel very emotionalat the thought someone up there is listen
SBP, just keep nagging them LOLThanks for your resilience
Yes, but some are more complicated and hence likely more expensive than others.Literally every alternative to how it is now has logistical complications.

Love that hardly any tickets have been sold
I know it’s a long way away
I know it’s a Friday night
I know it’s the cup game the following Monday
But we whinge for bloody years about not being able to sit behind the goal and then here you go and there’s lots of:-
No not like that
Not those blocks
Preston?
Not that game
Etc etc etc - very funny
Hope we win Saturday and they sell out of course
A well made pointBecause everyone who wants to sit there already has a ticket.
Yep and reduce the priceThey should let people move one off for the trial tbh
They could have picked a bigger game and opened half of that end as a trial. And I'm not talking Leeds etc but Preston is hardly going to test anything.it is a trial to look at the logistics, it's sensible that the first trial will not have a capacity crowd
if this goes well they will do it again but pick a game where they will expect a bigger crowd
Should of sold it block by blockVery few home tickets sold in the South Stand for this one. Could prove to be an abortive experiment?
The people most interested in sitting that close to away fans are already sitting a block or 2 away.Very few home tickets sold in the South Stand for this one. Could prove to be an abortive experiment?
demand for the corner is very high and outweighs the capacity.
Think with it being a Friday night game probably won't be the most representative. Personally wouldn't sit there anyway through choice (prefer down the sides) but where we're expecting bigger gates is probably the time to trial it properly.Very few home tickets sold in the South Stand for this one.

…is it selling well? Considering how long it’s been on sale.
If you're trialling something it's probably best to do it on a game where a sell out is less likelyThey could have picked a bigger game and opened half of that end as a trial. And I'm not talking Leeds etc but Preston is hardly going to test anything.
Some people just can’t grasp this.This. Also pretty sure the trial is to prove to the SAG that we can use the ground as it was intended to be used without being naughty, or any ballache happening with turnstiles etc. Not to prove it'll sell out every time.
…is it selling well?
13 is nearly sold out and 12 is at least half full. Both will be sold out by 7pm Friday.
Aye. Probably should’ve been block by block then.
I'll hold my hands up and say that when I made my comment about sales I wasn't really looking at 12 & 13, which are small segments near the corner and have sold OK. I was looking more at the larger blocks 10 and 11 nearer the goal, which have sold virtually nothing so far. I suppose it depends what exactly the club were seeking to get from the trial.
From memory I think there's a solid wall in the concourse, somewhere around 13. In practical terms, does that mean home fans on the South Stand side of it are effectively using a separate concourse from everyone in the corner and the East Stand?
Yes the home fans will be using the same concourse as the away fans, there are roller shutters they can use to split that concourse in 2I'll hold my hands up and say that when I made my comment about sales I wasn't really looking at 12 & 13, which are small segments near the corner and have sold OK.

So where precisely is the solid wall - between 13 and 12?Yes the home fans will be using the same concourse as the away fans, there are roller shutters they can use to split that concourse in 2
