Does it not increase the capacity in 1=1.5. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think part of the safe standing thing is that it's the same amount standing as there would be seats. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo79 13,597 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Having said that, when we play at the Piggery their safe standing section looks like it has more there than if it was seating. Maybe it's an optical illusion or maybe they're up to their old tax dodging tricks. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other members get no say, even although it’s our money that may be used for this idea. Read elsewhere that the UB have only 50 members, why is Club1872 even talking about this? How many disabled fans do we have ? What I don’t understand is that we were told at the AGM that there would be a full consultation exercise before any plans were made to implement this. Is this survey in addition to that? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My position has always been that money raised should go to increasing our shareholding in the club although I know the constitution allows for other expenditure. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEARGER 1,829 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 (edited) Looking at CLUB1872 board report from September and it states this “ We have to be mindful, for example, of the needs of disabled supporters and those who have held season tickets for many years in areas of the stadium where safe standing might be installed.” Where would our disabled fans be moved to?

Gonzo79 13,597 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 As no one knows where a safe standing section would be, no one knows if disabled fans will be affected. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye. But don’t you find it a bit suspicious that disabled supporters are specifically mentioned? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
