Its much blander than the CBS, with 4 identical stands. We at least have one unique stand. Also the CBS is much taller I thought

How would that be enforced though? What would be the consequences of ignoring them? The safety license will be with Frasers, but its for operations within the ground. The club have to abide by the terms of the license, which allows up to 32k football spectators

Perhaps we should look to Berlin for the answer?

I'm no socialist but this is one time I feel the need to quote some Tony Benn at the SAG

They can't be that short staffed. There's hundreds of stewards on the turnstiles frisking fans for non existent for coke bottle tops. Stick some of them down the away end.

These things should be budgeted for when setting ticket prices anyway.

Good pay day for them! They only need to be placed between home and away fans. Where I sit in block 23, the average age is about 73, there is no need to have any police stationed there. The amount of home fans in the ground shouldn't have any bearing on the number of police inside the ground.

Exactly that, The club has an obligation to ensure spectator safety, and not oversell tickets. Everything else is simply advice as far as I'm aware. So if the Police say "we don't want you to open block 13", what are they going to do about it if we did? Nothing because the club is legally...

So as it stands, with blocks 6-13 being given to 2k away supporters and segregation, a "sell out" crowd will be 27,500. We will look pathetic on the TV

But the club should just ignore them. It is the club choosing to do this

29000 with 14000 seats for segregation either side

My understanding is though they only advise. The ground has a valid safety certificate for 32k people. The only obligation on the club is to ensure that those 32k people can attend without coming to harm. The fact that the club feels the need to have 2k empty seats to meet its obligations...

The fact that in 2013, when Sisu were at the height of their incompetency, could get home fans behind the goal against Crewe, but we can’t now raises serious questions. What has changed?

I don’t think people are annoyed with you, just the reasons that get given to you

I’d put my house on it to be King of Shaves as the next sponsor

First Sky Blue kit was in 1889. JH just revived it. It’s never really been explained if he purposely revived it or it’s just coincidence that he picked colours from our early years

140 anniversary of the club next season so something like that would be great. I don’t know if any copyright still exists around the Singer logo? The Singer company and its successors ended up as part of Peugeot so would they need to give permission?

How can you remember that level of detail from something 60 years ago? 😂

Lot of people will have been at work all day. Expect a load to be sold this evening

There’s no point in limiting Boro to 2k if we aren’t planning on putting our own fans behind the goal. Might as well give them 4k
