You know nothing about me. I have no idea why you think I could never be persuaded. I am happy to be persuaded on issues by sound argument and explanation of issues and aspects I may have misunderstood or not appreciated. Funnily enough - if I am told to "try to think" or somone tells me they...

and Hard to imagine someone so patronising dealing with the general public.

Oh how we'll laugh .................

Did you really think only the last four rows of the North Stand would stand ?

I doubt the fact that more rows are standing than the Club said they will tolerate is going to derail anything. It looks like scare-mongering. And I am in the East - and very happy to be there. No problems with the stewards in the Respect stand. I just look across and wonder why the Club are...

Why bother. We want the best atmosphere we can at the Amex. No-one is in danger. Anyone who wants to sit behind a goal can move to the South. The North Stand drives the atmosphere - let them get on with it.

That sounds the sensible approach. If they need to - look as though they are doing it. Meantime offer those in the North Stand that do complain about not being able to sit first dibs in the South Stand. And let the North Stand be - they can carry on creating the atmosphere the rest of us...

They could also conceivably draw a softer line and simply turn a blind eye. Like they do to the away fans, and like they do to the back four rows. Like other clubs do. The stadium has been a massive success. Permission to get more seats is not going to hang on whether more rows than the Club...

It is all a crock of shit. There is a simple solution that suits everyone - so why go for confrontation ?

And there is a stand they can move to - the South Stand.

It is trouble for the sake of it. Allowing four rows to stand signalled that standing was going to be tolerated. What did they think was going to happen. Now the match-day experience at the stadium is going to be affected whilst the opposite stand are allowed to stand all game. It makes no sense...
