email from club - NO MORE TICKETS ON SALE IN KOP - standing & wrong seat usage

[A_Bladesman]

SHALL we accept him or contact united or could just wait to see what he says. Is that him?

 

[Inter_blade83]

Should be easy to spot, the number of grasses we apparently have up there.

No grasses needed. Get the stewards or coppers to shift anyone blocking entry and exits to the seats. It's a safety issue.

 

[Sharrow Snuff Mill]

Apart from the action already taken - not selling Kop tickets, I would like to know how the club intend to properly resolve this issue.

Watched the behind the scenes ,no blocking of gangways on the kop .watch it ,clear as a whistle

I do wonder if they actually have a plan in place for this. Other than fans self-policing it which in reality just won't happen as folk don't want trouble (imagine asking someone if they're in the right seat only for them to turn round and start getting all clever and go by? Not worth it at all is it?), what can they do?

 

[wizadry]

They clearly haven’t got a plan otherwise it would’ve been said by now. All they are doing is punishing the club and certain fans that usually do as they’re told.

Do you think the people that have caused the selling of tickets to be stopped will be bothered and won’t do it again, will they fuck be bothered and of course they’ll do it again.

I’m still unsure what they’ve done though because I spent years at the bottom of the Kop and used to walk down from the top and it’s been like that since God was a lad, why has there all of a sudden been a closure and what are they doing to eradicate it without stopping the club from earning ticket sale money? It seems very unfair that the club and the majority of fans that sit on the Kop, however shit it maybe for facilities etc etc are getting punished for a minority of fans spoiling it, some obviously ST holders and some not.

A seat next to me could be empty, but I can't buy it for somebody else

Two different people can't buy it and sit together

Why can't you understand you cant buy for your imaginary mate. It's 1 ticket for each membership number.

Let your mate register, add him to your friends and family then you can buy it for him.

Easy to any person of average intelligence.

And there’s the rub.

The only way to stop people standing in gangways or overcrowding in rows is to police (and I mean police not stewards paid £20) it during the game and we all know the reaction if some planks are told to sit in their own seat or get kicked out.

Doesn't pay very well mate

 

[Maidenhead]

Fuck me, I hope you’re kidding.

I’m in KB4, I stand and sing my bollocks off for the 90 (in my own seat). I’m also getting my over 60 discount next season.

So the club will do what exactly? Tell me I’m to old to stand (in an area where I shouldn’t be standing anyway) and I have to move and sit with the more mature fans. Fuck that, have you been in the South Stand for cup games, stand up for GCB and they look at you like you’re a fucking retard.

I don’t know the solution, the club made such a shit effort at communication, I’m not sure I fully understand the problem.

But it isn’t moving me.

The only differences between you and me are that I'm in KM2 so I alternate between sitting and standing, and I've had my senior discount for a number of years.

I'm living proof that you don't have to be young, stood up, or at the back to make a noise, you just need a ground full of Maidenheads.

P.S. I love my seat and as much as I'd love a better atmosphere I'm not moving anywhere for anybody!

That last sentence reveals the flaw in your reasoning.

While l agree totally with your sentiment please don't pad it out with the fallacy that you get stared at if you stand and sing in the South Stand. There’s too much Bigger Blade shit on here as it is.

That’s fair comment, but I was making the point that I want to sit/stand with like-minded blades whatever our ages, not trying to be a Billy Big Bollox, we all enjoy the match in our own way.

I did get told to sit down 5 seconds after the starting whistle at the Southampton cup match though, and got tutted at for calling Ollie Mc a wanker for missing his penalty.

Have you ever tried singing while sitting down

I wonder if he sings “I’m still standing” while he’s sat down?

Is that how much they get? I would police myself and make myself sit down for that.

 

[More Bladier than thou]

So. Iam gonna chuck this in here as relevant.

Why do we have SAG /council restrictions and not wendy after this awful incident last night(also multiple team’s visits to sty reporting the same). Where the fuck are they on this know issue? Some of the Newcastle fans comments on this tweet are both sad and scary, yet it continues to happen at the very ground that started all the problems.

 

[JJBlade]

Newcastle fans saying the stand should be demolished and rebuilt

There's only one reason that hasn't been done......somebody hasn't paid for it to be done for them.

And as Sheffield is never going to be selected as a World Cup or Euro's venue ever again because it's a backward shithole managed by fucking idiots, nobody ever will pay for it for them.

Council will probably fund a new stand for them and close our Kop at same time.

True

Has anyone thought that by about 2025 we will need a 50k capacity ground because from what I’ve heard our fan base is increasing all the time.
