Wilson Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 16 minutes ago, broony said: I got a ticket from a mate of a mate earlier in the season in the safe standing trial area of the upper leazes for Brentford. It’s just normal seats with a rail placed in front to lean on. I don’t think it will change capacity in any way, will be the exact same seats as there are now, just with a rail in front of them. That's my expectation but I do wonder about space, they're crammed in anyway so adding a barrier behind the seat in front of you is going to be a struggle you'd think. My knees are touching the seat in front of me as it is, not a lot of wiggle room. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How they deal with those that don’t want to stand and therefore have to move, will be interesting. Whatever we might think, they are being ‘inconvenienced’ to a degree, and the club do need to be respectful of that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitley mag Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Fuck me god forbid some folk can’t be put out for the greater good. Large swathes of fans stand at other PL grounds, since when did we become infested with the most selfish, theatre going, least edgy and fucking boring fans in the country.

It reminds me of cunts that buy a city centre property and then whinge about redevelopment nearby and the noise caused by people. Fucking arseholes.

Look at who is on the board of our supporters trust and the cabal who run True Faith now. Hard to believe we’re a working class city in the NE sometimes.

TheBrownBottle Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 It was completely inevitable that type of whinging. They’re like those old blokes who think that a seat in a pub / club is theirs and get offended if you sit in the fucker. Just fucking accept a seat swap. No-one ever thinks that the Strawberry corner is the best seats in the house in any case. Watching the match from there is like playing 16-bit FIFA with its isometric camera view.

Heron Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Fantastic. Not perfect but one small step for the stand one huge step for standkind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Of course some people will complain, leave them be. The club will sharp tell them that they either stand to keep their seats, or move. No matter what you do, you will upset some people. When Spurs build their new stadium, social media was full of their fans complaining that they never got their exact old seat back, despite every seat in their new stadium being better than any seat in their old stadium.

Also, hindsight is a wonderful thing but, looking back, SJP should never have been made effectively 100% season ticket holders in the Keegan era.

80 Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Sometimes I wonder what it would be like if the club just stopped selling season tickets. Advance purchase per match only. One way of getting over the seat arguments. Revenue neutral/positive given the sell outs we can expect. Sitting with your mates. A whole new generation able to get in and make their mark within half a mile of pitchside. Sounds great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
