It's tricky as hell. Nah, I’d rather something like Spurs stadium, or the Lucas Oil Field. We’ll probably go for something like Atlanta’s though.

Stifler Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 (edited) It’s pretty damning that the known whingers on Twatter who have season tickets, and hold non-season ticket holders with control are all against this. Aye class, so it’s great for you to say to fans of other clubs that your club has a 52k stadium, and 35k waiting to get in, but you just don’t want to let any of those 35k in and keep skating them over things like the ballot etc which doesn’t even effect you. Honestly though, as a former season ticket holders (over 2 different periods) and as a member, I want my email, and to have my say. Not fair that they are asking people who already have a season ticket, but not asking their potential new season tickets holders who they would be increasing the capacity for.

r0cafella Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Fundamentally, isn’t more seats for the average Joe and more seats for corporates a win win? I don’t quite understand the negativity to this aspect of it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, but there is a little section of our current season ticket holders (by no means all, or even the majority) who are just wanting to bait non-season ticket holders.

I've been unlucky enough to be put up in Level 7 three times so far this season and it's horrible. You just feel so detached from it all and there's more atmosphere on the moon. At the Chelsea game a dad and lad next to us trying to identify various landmarks from over the East Stand roof instead of watching the game. Says it all really. Level 7 can actually work if you get the right people congregating up there, when it was the singing section it was magnificent Standing, singing, near away fans added some spice Loved it up there.

RS Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 People still think we’ll move? 10k on the Gallowgate end. Job done Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 I would move if it meant I could get two season tickets together. Not sure what capacity would be needed for that to be easy, but I’m sure it’s more than is possible to add onto SJP. I’m thinking 75-80k? For me there’s no real downside of moving if we stay in the city centre, the arena site seems ideal. Nice views for people arriving by train as well. Of course we’re attached to SJP but I would become attached to our new home as well. Being out of town would be the only disaster which would kill the matchday experience and the city economy.

The East stand’s concourse is not fit for purpose. If you are disabled and can’t do stairs, to get in the Gallowgate end you have to go round behind the East stand, and there is only 1 lift permanently in use to home fans if you want to get to level 4 or level 7. They can’t add that much more corporate into SJP, and believe me there will be demand for it if we take off. On top of this, an extra 10k seats is only a 3rd at best of the demand by members at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree it’s shite now though It was great up there, if you were up there like I was, but my dad sits in the Gallowgate and he reckoned you couldn't really hear us from there. Likewise you can't hear the Gallowgate from Level 7. I was up there v Chelsea last week and although you can clearly see the lads in the SE Corner going for it the noise just doesn't travel like it does in some stadiums. Honestly think, other than West Ham we have the worst ground for acoustics. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
