The club consulted with the Trust, and the Trust told the club it wasn’t a good idea,and wouldn’t support it, to replace the traditional end of season awards night. The way the Awards were presented on the pitch last season was down to the club. |
That’s not the way it was told at the fans forum, and I can only take what was said at face value.
Obviously you know more with being on the trust board, so can only take what you said at face value also. |  | |  |

Tell you what, this Sunderland game will be logistics central!!! |  |

I have a seat on row P in the affected area which I selected as gives a decent view and far enough back not to be affected by the weather if it rains. What's the betting I get offered one on row A so a poor view and it throws it down all through the match. Not happy. |  | | |

I'm puzzled. During his interview David said that the idea of giving the Sandy to Sunderland was a non starter because of the proximity of the Sandy and the Main Stand turnstiles.
Is there not a set of turnstiles (which we never seem to use) at the Family Stand end of the Main Stand? | | | |

Yes because a Barnet fan was locked up in them a few years ago.
It’s good to know it’s more difficult to arrange queues than it is to segregate a stand that’s not designed for segregation, ensure the fans can get to their coaches from the segregated stand and all the other nonsense. Logistical nightmare. |  | | |

I’m fairly sure they opened 2 full stands to them for the original game as opposed to the 1.5 stands they open for everyone else (Us included).
This is proper mountain from molehill stuff as the club doesn’t have many options.
Normal, open sale and there’ll be loads of Sunderland fans in the home ends and this is very difficult to steward and police. This seems like the most sensible solution given there’ll be at least 500 empty seats in the pearl street if this move hadn’t taken place.
For the record my ST is in the Sandy and last season was in the main stand. If I’d been asked to move for a one off game in either case I wouldn’t be bothered. |
There are lots of mountains being made from molehills at present.
The club doesn't have much choice if, as stated, maximising revenue is the stated aim.
As David Bottomley stated in the Freeview video this game will generate a six figure sum and 15% of the gate receipts for this season where there hasn't been a cup run.
If it's the "how" it has been announced then you can't do much more than set out why it's been done and announcing that in good time once the safety and police confirmations have been received.
I can't remember the last time the club put out so many Freeview interviews - a positive step. |  |

The continued snipping at David Bottomley is out of order bordering on spiteful. I support all members of the new board of directors we are lucky to have them especially those with local links which I believe all have. | |

So IF the Sandy and the the Willbuts Lane stand had been given to Sunderland the turnstiles need not have been anywhere near the Home turnstiles and both stands could have exited onto Willbuts Lane.
Home turnstiles could have been at the Family Stand end of the Main Stand and at either end of the Family Stand . If deemed necessary home exits could both have been in the corner where the sand mountains were.
To me it doesn't seem rocket science or am I missing something. | | | |

Ah quite brilliant, some choose to question things that aren't quite right, whilst others will sit back lap it all up,then wonder where it all went wrong.
"We are lucky to have them" like it's a personal sacrifice they're somehow performing for us all,how magical. | | | |

I’m not in the know and I don’t know whether or not the new board and CEO will be a positive or a negative but the level of criticism on here over the last few weeks has been over the top and petty. |  | | |

Is a shit idea having five hundred or so mackems in the WMG though. What’s going to happen when they all want to go in stuffs at half time. What’s going to happen when both sets of supporters need to go for a piss or a shit. | | | |

If you had followed this thread and listened to the interview you would find the answer to the questions you have so eloquently posed. What a pity more people don't have the the breadth of language skills you so skillfully display. [Post edited 15 Mar 2019 23:17]

Because it will be chaotic. It's a fookin farce. Season ticket holders are virtually shareholders yet this batch are being treated like crap by a smug looking tit who may nett us a few quid. Just a few when virtually 6 figures are going to happen any way. Short sighted, ill thought out and badly explained . Par for the course with this prick at the helm. And that is not sniping. | |

Quite simply. They pay a year in advance for something that they hope still exists in a year's time. What else would you spunk cash on 1 year hence ? Without the cash injection in May/June this club would be fooked for cash to pay players and staff over the summer. | |

I bought a ticket to a Rolling stones gig a year in advance (at not much less cost than a season ticket).
Shareholders own the club, season ticket holders pay to "enjoy" being "entertained" | |
