BL Lower tier open to home fans for 3 games

Good news I suppose...

But it appears tickets on there are £2 more expensive than the Kop. Why? It's the worst view in the ground. And surely in opening it the club should use it as an opportunity to entice more fans in? Cheaper tickets would achieve that.

Who's going to go on there when you can pay less and go on the Kop?

It would be good to get a sizeable number of home fans in there on a regular basis. This could be a missed opportunity due to the ticket pricing.

 

[Grecian2000]

How much are the away fans paying? Don't we have to charge the same as we are charging them to sit in the same end?

Fwiw, I'd stick the away following on the bottom (as you say it's a pretty poor view) and open the upper for Blades.

 

[BladeInIreland]

so where would the away fans be?

Some people may buy tickets for the novelty of it.

 

[s4-blade]

Lower Tier should be away fans while we have the BL upper, the best view in football. You know, like it always use used to be.

We could also utilise Samir on piss pouring duties when he's not playing.

 

[s4-blade]

Although, I guess the bigger picture here is that SAG and SYP look to be relaxing the needless special measures bollocks, which is great news.

It's obviously in the hope attendances increase. If the only seats available on the Kop are restricted viewing isn't it a cheaper option than SS or JS, which are pretty much full anyway.

Plus as Grecian says, parity with away fans.

 

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

SAG / SYP knocking back 9000+ seats at The Sty.

 

[knowsnowt]

I'd rather go on there than the kop. Last time I was on the kop some fukker pissed all down the back of my legs!

 

[PeteBlade]

Be great to have the fans behind both goals for the big games. Always thought we miss a trick there.

 

[west_yorks_blade]

Biggest plus is that it wont take half an hour for one slow witted ball boy to retrieve the ball when there are a few in there.

That's nowt, someone shat in the hood of my coat.

Check the back. I wiped my arse on that when I'd finished my dump in your hood.

Who knows, they may open the upper tier to our fans in the future. But the club will presumably already have sold away tickets in the Upper Tier to away fans for the fixtures mentioned, so can't change them now?

 

[mattbianco1]

I was on the lower tier vs Stoke when that bird ran across the pitch with her baps out !

 

[Sean Thornton]

That's nowt, someone shat in the hood of my coat.

Sorry. I thought it was Esablades.

 

[west_yorks_blade]

Can someone organise a guess the crowd in the BLLT competition?

I'll go 354 for first match.

Jan aage to the rescue??

 

[Tyler Durden]

A rare concession to common sense. I don't have it in me to praise the Council or the SY Police for anything, but I'm happy with the outcome. I hope to see one tier or the other available for home fans on a more permanent basis.

With Blades Membership holders still being included in the attendance of course.

Sorry mate, 6 pints, and i'm not as young as I once was

 

[mattbianco1]

Honestly can't remember anything about the game. Think Stoke played in like a Sky Blue kit. That and the woman..

good decision but silly of the club to charge 2 quid more that tells me they dont want to sell any there why not just try full adult price and any kids a quid might get a couple of thousand in then

 

[Ricky]

Why would we have to charge as much as the away fans are charged to sit in a different stand/section?

As for the upper tier, I'd like season tickets to be available there next season. It's about time we started making the most of that stand.

Could stick away fans in the Westfield corner. In one way it'd be a shame to lose it for home fans as it's a fantastic view, but the upside would be home fans on all four sides. Towards the end of the season it would greatly increase home fans capacity and reduce the away fans and their influence.

It would be a great advantage to do this long term as we climb back up the leagues.

Away fans can take lower tier whilst we need the corner plus upper tier. Good point about pricing. View is shite but it is obstructed by fucking grotesque steel girders on the Kop .

"...and I pissed down the back of this bloke wearing a Shemagh!"

 

[Bridge Blade]

Would have been good to have this trial over the Christmas fixtures.

 

[vorpal blade]

Club responds to supporters' suggestions; they perhaps read on this website?

Got to say I hate the idea that just because they are away fans you shouldn't give them good seats for their money, after all, we've all been away fans in our time.

Win, win, well played SUFC & thank you.

 

[Alfreton14Blade]

Don't know about all this having to charge what away fans pay on the Bramall Lane End bollocks?

I remember a couple of seasons back tickets for a few games were being sold for the lower tier through the Childrens Hospital and the Philadelphia Social Club for a tenner.

These tickets really ought to be being sold cheaper to try & fill the place up.

 

[Bladeloyal]

Just wondering if h block bottom seats will have the netting removed or do we need a barrier between our own fans ,that's one for the elf and safety committee
