Breach of my human rights to see away fans celebrating
Breach of my human rights to see away fans celebratingBreach of human rights to hold supporters back. Why it doesn’t happen except in exceptional circumstances
Do you go to the cinema or theatre when there's a rubbish film or play being shown?Where were all these fuckers when we played Carlisle/FGR at home midweek on a cold wet October barely 5k. Could literally hear a pin drop horrible times. (They all rocked up for Wembley that season too).
Agree it's natural progression.
Look into the future and you have the championship play off semi final home leg too.
That crew are all 30’s now, could be less energetic but let’s whip up that atmosphere in any way possibleHope the club ask Tom Grennan or some other local artist to play for 15 mins before kick off or at half time. When I first started going there was the sky blue crew of cheerleaders, not asking for that but be good to do a kick for cash etc.
There was of course the time when season ticket holders were given the chance During the early years. The take-up was poor. I did enjoy it though.BSB .. I would love to see our fans move to behind both goals and push away supporters into 14-15 with segregation and holding them back after the game .
HR west end was split for years with away fans before it became all seating .
overall the club need to look at all options for next season.
Banging my head against the wall reading stuff on twitter today. Some really weird takes. Take the one below, this person peppering the police liaison officer calling for more security. We have the most segregated ground in the country inside and out and he wants more and wanted the kickoff to be moved.

The idiot who did it against Sunderland ultimately gave them the extra time in which they scored and had time to push for an equaliser. Doing it in stoppage time, when we had the ball and there was already 8 minutes added on, was about as stupid as it can possibly get.We unanimously agree people who run on the pitch are tossers.
If someone runs on during this game, with the number of people missing out on tickets, I hope they get everything they deserve.
Totally agree with that, Highfield Road was great, away fans on the side. The Arena was poorly designed in that aspect.I've just never liked the away side shooting towards a stand full of their own support
He showed me and another guy the signed side of the voucher with details on.I'm sure he said it was for two can't be certain he didn't pay any money at all, because we both got served at the same time.The valid date on it was up to May 1st.I've got no grandchildren that age now so I have no use for them.The friend he spoke to had more than 1.You sure about that, it said community vouchers weren’t valid.
The reasons they're giving make zero sense. If the local media had anything about them they'd be covering thisThe club needs to be pressured into acknowledging that this isn't acceptable.
Never again should there be vast numbers of empty seats when the demand exists to fill them

They weren't always on the side. When I started going we shared the West End with them and in around 77/78 they were moved to the right side of the Kop(from the pitch) before they ended up in the Sky Blue Stand.Totally agree with that, Highfield Road was great, away fans on the side.

Its mad, its only a few hundred extra in the grand scheme of things and there's a gap of 1,500 people because they insist on a reduced capacity in the away endThe block 13 thing is very strange.
"We decided it was better to open 4 & 5 than 13"
Just open them both! What's the issue?
I know that, your right, but what I'm saying, it was a lot better when they moved to the away fans to the side. There were a lot of problems when the away fans were put in the West End, especially when we played London clubs. Point taken though.They weren't always on the side. When I started going we shared the West End with them and in around 77/78 they were moved to the right side of the Kop(from the pitch) before they ended up in the Sky Blue Stand.
For a time in the late 80’s and early 90’s, away fans were located on the Main Stand side of the Spion Kop and also seated in up to 2800 seats of the Sky Blue stand. Quite a weird set-up having away fans in two entirely different sections of the ground (although understandable from an allocation point of view).They weren't always on the side. When I started going we shared the West End with them and in around 77/78 they were moved to the right side of the Kop(from the pitch) before they ended up in the Sky Blue Stand.
I’m sure there used to be bands playing at HR during the 90s as well as the Sky Blue Belles.Hope the club ask Tom Grennan or some other local artist to play for 15 mins before kick off or at half time. When I first started going there was the sky blue crew of cheerleaders, not asking for that but be good to do a kick for cash etc.
In the early seventies you had to get in the West End early to defend the central section from being taken. the Away fans could be to the left or right of the centre depending on where they were pushed to. That is except Manchester United who just took the ground.They weren't always on the side. When I started going we shared the West End with them and in around 77/78 they were moved to the right side of the Kop(from the pitch) before they ended up in the Sky Blue Stand.
When I first started going to HR in I think 1975 away fans were housed in the left hand side (as you looked at it) of the west end, seemed to be trouble at the same flashpoints every week.I know that, your right, but what I'm saying, it was a lot better when they moved to the away fans to the side. There were a lot of problems when the away fans were put in the West End, especially when we played London clubs. Point taken though.

Too many people according to SkyBluePeteThe block 13 thing is very strange.

the police and whoever else is involved might as well release a statement saying they're totally incompetent and incapable of doing their jobs as they can't cope with something that happens at grounds up and down the country every week
I know you don’t work for the club, and I generally sympathise when you take crap on here for what you do as a fan rep. However, I think your responses in this regard have been blasé and dismissive.I don’t work for the club
why do you think the club are refusing to sell all the available seats
Hope the club ask Tom Grennan or some other local artist to play for 15 mins before kick off or at half time. When I first started going there was the sky blue crew of cheerleaders, not asking for that but be good to do a kick for cash etc.
If that’s the reason, it would actually be helpful if they said so. It would shut me up for a start.I honest think it's because they've moved Birmingham fans closer to the corner to allow segregation between the seats in 4/5
Too many people according to SkyBluePete

Yeah me too. I don’t understand tried to just be honest not dismissiveI know you don’t work for the club, and I generally sympathise when you take crap on here for what you do as a fan rep. However, I think your responses in this regard have been blasé and dismissive.
I don’t know why the club are refusing to sell all the seats, however I will bear it in mind when they attempt to maximise the revenue from my seat whilst not being prepared to maximise the revenue from the entire stadium.
Well the statement is pretty clear that in discussions with police and safety group they have maximised the number of tickets available. No idea why they can’t sell the tickets in the segregation areas, my guess is that it’s to do with the number of visiting fans coming and the police are risk averse.Too many people according to SkyBluePete
