The main point you miss is the safety aspect of moving a couple of hundred uncontrollable,boisterous fans who consistently ignore stadium and safety regulations, into the middle of a group of normal fans, including families, who are there to just watch football and support their team. I just hope that no one gets seriously hurt.

This came up in a pub discussion the other week. It's been widely reported that the HF are still attending games but have their ST's elsewhere. I presume they're not all sat as individuals so, in theory, there's a load of seats in small groups that would be 'available' as it were.

Does anyone actually know where any groups of them are, because there's just a few pairs of them in the main stand G & H?

I received my phone call from one of Paul McGowan's staff this morning.
Basically he asked where my new seating preference would be and if any special conditions need to be considered.
I told him where I'd like to sit if/when moved and he made a note of it.

I WAS asked if I'd like to apply for the new singing area but I declined and I pointed out to him that I just doubt that it will be a nice atmosphere in amongst them all and that I foresee trouble ahead.

I am lucky in that I am just looking for one ticket on it's own and I have the upmost sympathy for all my fellow E blockers especially those wanting to find multiple seats together.

I did point out that where I wish to move to is more expensive then my current seat and it may be an issue in the seasons after next season (after the discount). I will have to review if I can afford to or want to still attend after that.

I'm glad that they did get back to me and I am hopeful of getting a good seat but please don't think that this in anyway means I am still not very disappointed about moving away from the seat I have loved sitting in for the past 21 years and the people I enjoy sitting next to every game.

And I am still angry with how the club and especially Parrish have handled the situation!

How are they going to enforce the "singing" section? Will those who take up the offer be monitored by CCTV and if not seen to be singing will they have their seats taken away? What level of "singing" is acceptable for the "singing" section"?
So many questions...

Your feeling should be the worst or the most disappointed, well it would be if the club could organise a p1ss up in a brewery. They can find multiple seats together of people who travel together for the match, but probably not 20 acquaintances packed together. There will no doubt be more available after this p1ss poor league campaign or relegation.

What I agree and object to is the financial ‘compensation’ in Parish’s words, coming to the E400. If the 50% ST discount money has been eaten up before the new stand is built then they’re obviously worse off, and that’ll only take 3-4 seasons, with the new stand possibly not due to finish in 2-3 years time as some of the objectors argued but possibly 10 or who knows how many years. And in that new stand they should be offered first choice after no doubt the very expensive areas and the complimentary seats.

Usually at football grounds you get different types of supporters in different stands, or in different parts of the stand, and would be the case possibly with a big new stand. But the club can’t organise or promise things with regards to the HF and first choice promises to the E400 perhaps mean so little when that new stand could be whoever knows how long. Half a generation? Once the old 1924 stand is finally condemned?
