I totally agree, like I said there seems to be a different look and feel about the stadium, unless I'm looking through rose tinted specs after a few good results
I totally agree, like I said there seems to be a different look and feel about the stadium, unless I'm looking through rose tinted specs after a few good resultsThe Middlesbrough game with a 28k full house in a near 33k seater stadium was a tad embarrassing with all those empty seats dont you think so @SOCCFC never mind the lost revenue
That was a choice wasn't it to match their allocation to us?The Middlesbrough game with a 28k full house in a near 33k seater stadium was a tad embarrassing with all those empty seats dont you think so @SOCCFC never mind the lost revenue
ChatGPT confirmed.Heck no, I'm just a fan
Or undercover plod...ChatGPT confirmed.
I think the official line at the time was ‘overcrowding in the concourse’. I could be wrong though.That’s how it feels with the excessive segregation.
For instance I still haven’t heard a satisfactory explanation as to why block 13 couldn’t be open in the play offs

Middlesbrough stadium was full with hardly any segregation and no empty seats for the 2nd legThat was a choice wasn't it to match their allocation to us?
Yes but five thousand empty seats isn't an accurate desciption, we chose to take the loss as they wouldn't allocate xtra to us, 3k yes that argument stands.Middlesbrough stadium was full with hardly any segregation and no empty seats for the 2nd leg
You don't have segregation on concerts, and they can drink in stand, I get there will be areas closed off, but a different analogy and different set of rulesWhich we all know is bullsh1t.
Block 13 holds less than 400 people
They have over 40k pouring through those concourses when theres a concert on

So no concourse segregation issues if 13 is occupied by away supporters?Not really
Block 13 is accessed by the main concourse that runs from block 12 right round to block 6.
There are no segregation issues with it
I know, it just don't make sense having a 33k stadium with 28k capacity for a play off semi final, the design is crapYes but five thousand empty seats isn't an accurate desciption, we chose to take the loss as they wouldn't allocate xtra to us, 3k yes that argument stands.
13 can't be occupied by away supporters. Its accessed by the main concourse. It would be impossible to allow away fans in thereSo no concourse segregation issues if 13 is occupied by away supporters?
You said, and I quote, “Block 13 is accessed by the main concourse that runs from block 12 right round to block 6.”13 can't be occupied by away supporters. Its accessed by the main concourse. It would be impossible to allow away fans in there
Why is it we cannot cope with a few gobby teenagers yet Liverpool and Man U had about a metre between them yesterday.Empty seats = lost revenue. Every club in the land would be looking to sell as many seats as possible, whilst working within public safety parameters. As somebody has already mentioned, a few "leary teenagers" are what hamper these opportunities of reduced segregation lines/barriers. And ultimately the cost of securing these areas.
You said, and I quote, “Block 13 is accessed by the main concourse that runs from block 12 right round to block 6.”
That is the away supporters concourse. So why can’t it be occupied by away supporters?
Thanks for the clarity.I meant the long way around the stadium.
Block 13 - 37, the lower tier hospitality, and blocks 1-5 all share a single concourse.
There is then another concourse that runs under blocks 6-12.
It’s because the south stand is built on a different level to the rest of the ground. The concourse is about 20ft lower than the home areas.
If you notice the stadium is built into a hill. The pitch is at ground level at the south end, but quite a bit below the natural ground level at the north end
Next meetingThat shutter has been mentioned many times. I’m sure @Sky Blue Pete said that the consultative group was going to be taken on a tour to see the supposed issues.
Next meeting
One of the group is on the safety committee
Plans afootWhen you go Pete, and they explain why there are problems, please ask what they intend to do about it.
Don’t let “nothing” be an acceptable answer!
None@Sky Blue Pete any update on the safe standing?
You can see all the internal roller shutters in this video. Looks to be one for each block/stairwell maybe.
What is wrong with football fans away from home? The home concourse is pretty much immaculate after games.
There seems to be at least three shutters.You can see all the internal roller shutters in this video. Looks to be one for each block/stairwell maybe.
Exactly, it's been done before, so what's changed?I saw behind the goal for the Crewe JPT game, they'd shuttered off the blocks where Crewe were sat. Segregation I assume is between Block 8 and Block 9 here. I'm pretty sure I was sat in Block 10 and had one block between where I was and the Crewe fans.
