It’s a different world now, we didn’t need woke viewer discretionary warnings that we may see scenes of violence before episodes of the likes of Midsomer Murders in those days (isn’t the clue in the programme title?)

I had based It on a rough ST price, but you are right that the seats probably wouldn’t be filled all season So the actual revenue would be somewhere between the two. We have ended up debating something which is not based on the facts as we know them. The facts are that Sky Blue Pete was asked...

oops, it is way out - by a factor of 10. Should be more like £1.2 million, but still only about 1% of Prem revenue. I will hang my head in shame,

There’s still a lot of available seats which are not being sold.

They are consulting on safe standing in Singers Corner.

Great, the PL can take on SAG for us then. Are you sure every PL game is a sellout?

The Gillingham massive don’t look all that intimidating do they, and from other threads it sounded as if requirements have changed since then.

Exactly.

I find it interesting that in one thread people have been saying that ticketing revenue (and hence ticket prices) aren’t all that important in the PL and yet on this thread the worry is about revenue from 3,000 seats that can’t be used (say £120k per year at ST prices vs £100m PL money). All...

I was being a bit tongue in cheek, but we don’t own the stadium. My post was really in response to those who basically think we should turn the stadium round. Minimal investment in safe standing in the existing Singers Corner and, if we have to, the away section is fine. Any more than that is...

A good point and of course you know that the reference to Warwick was tongue in cheek. Mind you, SISU had identified several options. Alledgedly.

Thanks for the reminder Pete, and the original post is quite clear that it is the upper levels of 13,14,15,16 where safe standing is being considered and not the major reconfigurations some have dreamt up and which have started hares running.

it’s me.

Looks like Shugs has finally realised Pudsey talks nonsense.

One poster has said that reconfiguration is being considered and lots have then jumped on the bandwagon with their fantasies. We won’t know what is proposed until the consultation is issued, but you are quite correct that moving away support would have the propensity to affect everyone and hence...

I didn’t say that, but size of away support has zero impact for me whereas a win will always improve it.

I’m not at all interested in safe standing and personally rather money was spent on the team than on a stadium we don’t own and theoretically could be evicted from, or held to ransom over, in less than 5 years. if I was going to introduce safe standing, Singers Corner and away support would...

The alternative was no football club. Seating wasn’t an option, safe standing is and so using the cost of the former to justify the costs of the latter isn’t reasonable.

The spending on seating wasn’t a choice, it was a legislative requirement.

It isn’t a strange way to consult with stakeholders. Most consultation will seek the views of both individual stakeholders and relevant organisations, in this case such as supporters groups, WMP, our friends at the council. Really anyone who attends matches could claim to be affected if the...
