All of your thoughts and theories on how the North stand may or may not choose to interact or join with the rest of the North are inaccurate I'm afraid. It was clear from the meeting that the fans who do their utmost to sing more and create an atmosphere all want to be in the same place, all...

Club open to the BISA concept - "Brilliant idea".
Two comments from me.
1. That's it.
2. I've only reported what club officlals said, not what supporters asked.
Chat away but I felt encouraged by tonight's meeting and it felt as though unity prevailed and a common purpose remained. Game on.
Club needs to communicate better on these issues. Any ideas will be listened to.
HUGE QUESTION AND RESPONSE.
Will the club support safe standing?
Can't say. Theses things start with momentum and in a personal opinion from a club member I won't name... "I hope it happens".
Clubs are bound by...
Having the cheapest seats for the most vocal fans makes sense. Have to fully understand what the fans want before seating analysis is done and decisions are made for next year. Reorganising will need really good communication with the affected fans, but it makes sense where creating a better...
Club is aware of how people want to stand but legalities of standing remain. Flexibility is shown to assist. Bottom line the law is the law and the club must (be seen to) comply.
Can't recreate the Goldstone, as much as they'd like to.
Having unreserved seating will reduce the capacity and...
Bloody typos in that one, sorry. I'll do my best but be a bit flexible, eh? :lolol:
A summary of the meeting will be issued to the people who originally received the email and a pre-match brief in the future will do the same.
Issues around people not wanting to get rowdy when there are kids...
Apologies if there are delays between pages being posted - the 3G signal may drop in and out.
Moving the away fans - would be a massive cost - not a terribly realistic prospect.
Tonight won't resolve much but it's tenbeginjing of a process. Maybe have these meetings three times a year. North...
I've got 8 pages of notes from tonight's events. Once I get on a train back to London I'll start typing them up and posting them.
Queues at Falmer tonight are non-existent. Result.
I don't want to sound like I want to be "the big I am" over this but if people want to PM me with their thoughts then I'm happy to try to collate something for the night. I will, of course, post a summary of what those accumulated views are in advance of sharing it on the night. I'm aware that...
Can't wait. It'd be great to get the fluff and random ideas sorted out on here and then maybe approach the night with a set of 4-5 solid, heavily supported ideas that we can all get behind.
