Seems like its all about breaking seats now Edited by eagleman13 (07 Jan 2019 3.13pm) They'll press gang the club into moving to another section once they realise its got faults.

So you're saying that despite being directly effected and ear-marked for direct replacement, you managed to persuade Steve Parish to let you stay? Yes

Don't let it bug you! Look around the ground, in winter lots of people are wearing black. I do like the idea of @Mapletree, and any other original Block E season ticket holders, wearing bright colours so we spot them and make sure they are joining in with enough of the chants. It's probably been mentioned numerous times but what rows in block E are proposed for the singing section? I believe it's from Row 17 back I am not sure who took that decision, it may have been the club to avoid blocking too many views by having people standing in site lines. I usually wear a black jacket by coincidence I shall see if I can wear an orange one next time, nobody else will be. No, wait...

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise. |

I was at Goodison on Saturday for Everton v Lincoln City. There was no active Everton singing section bar a few puny attempts which didn't start till the 48th minute and ended very mekely. The lack of support, chanting or singing was mocked by the constantly singing Lincoln City fans. It was sad to see an historic club reduced to justified mockery as a "library". All this despite there being 30,000+ home tickets sold. It would be grim if we ever were reduced to this.

It will continue to detioriate until safe standing is introduced. There are a small number of ‘Ultra’ groups popping up around England - Middlesborough, Accrington Stanley (I think). Celtic’s Green Brigade have been around for a long time. It can only be a good thing. We’re lucky to have our own who are desperate to make a difference and Chairman who shares their vision. Manchester United and Watford are two others who recognise the problem are at least trying to address it.

Shouldn't worry about it, there's loads of season ticket holders on here in the surrounding rows and blocks that will happily sacrifice their seat for the greater good, or at least I assume they will by their support of the current seat grab. Then again, they could just ask Maple who can put in a good word with his mate Steve Parish. They'll be top boys in the chorus, maybe one can actually keep time and take on drum banging duties.

Edited by eagleman13 (07 Jan 2019 3.13pm) I had no idea it's from row 17 back, that's obviously not going to last long. The HF aren't going to stand for not being able to be seen on telly during key moments, or god forbid, not be front row to give over their little under 9s football trophy to their player of the season. Those from 17 to 1, get ready to be shipped out. It's enevitable.
