Paul Barber interview on more seats for FA Cup match with Arsenal.

[Magicman]

Apologies if fixtures but well worth a listen .... scroll to 2 hours 45 mins into show

BBC iPlayer - Sussex Breakfast: 17/01/2013

 

[Country Seagull]

Says the club are going to try to get some seats into the north corners in time for the game, expects arsenal to sell out allocation

 

[Vegas Seagull]

Or summarise on 10 words for us?

 

[Postman Pat]

For those that can't hear, they are trying to get seats into both corners before the game, think they will have one corner filled.

Arsenal are taking 4000 tickets.... Don't think that has been mentioned anywhere else on here.

Will they have Balti pies?

I've not listened to this, but I did catch PB's Roar interview (and this saves me all the hassle of finding a more relevant thread!)

Anyhoo, my point is Mr Barber seemed to make a fair few pointed comments towards misinformation on NSC (what other forums are there).
He then went on to back this up with his own FACTS.
I guess facts coming from the Chief Exec are pretty close to the truth .
Should his definitive statements be made more prominent, perhaps a section here.

Will they have Balti pies?

Yes. But not in 1901 because its declasse.

Yes.

Well it just goes to show that if the Seagulls website is awkward to use and slow to update, then people will go elsewhere

So Arsenal will have all of the south and part of the east lower..Or is that wrong.

not all of the south

 

[skipper734]

The Guy that does the Radio Prog. is a Manu plastic. So much for local Radio. The new seats are Chinese and are on a boat, the corners may or may not be available.
Don't we produce anything anymore?

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Can supporters bring their own deckchairs for the NW corner ?

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

not all of the south

They have to squeeze all the South Stand STH's into one block

 

[kevtherev]

not all of the south

Must have a pretty large chuck of the east lower then if they have 4,000 seats.

I'm not comparing Barber to anything sinister at all (lets make that VERY clear) but history is littered with examples off lying chief execs. I'm glad the fans question rather than blindly accept changes they dislike. This is not a criticism of Barber just a criticism of those who think fans shouldn't question 'the facts' sold to them by senior figures.

 

[Jack Daniels]

People could just stand in the corners!!!!!!!!! Moo.

You can't put towels out apparently.
