One-Size Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Wonder how many away fans who've been to BP before will wander in the wrong end next season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 And this Family Area in the small section of the RRE - for two years kids have been watching this fantastic new stand go up. Imagine the conversations in August "are we going in the New Stand dad?" "err, no" "why not?" "season tickets are still cheaper in the Family Section" "oh, so we're staying in the Chaddy End? Same seats?" "Err, no" "Well where then?" "You know that small section of the away end?......" Well that's bollocks, isn't it? They'd be right beside the shiny big new stand in the Chaddy family area. Either way if you want to pay more you can take them in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archiecat Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Let's face it, the new stand would look a bit :censored:ty with 500 punters sat in it ! This move is purely and simply a means of increasing the numbers sat there next season,nothing more and nothing less. So, unless i decide to infiltrate the Chaddy with Coco it looks like i will be sampling the wonderful facilities on offer in the North stand after 37 years of not liking change ;-) All in the name of progress.

HarryBosch Posted April 18, 2015 Author Share Posted April 18, 2015 The most important thing was to make a clear decision one way or the other. I didn't think there was any decision to be made at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeslover Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 ??? If the kids are going to mither you to go in the new stand they aren't going to be bought off by staying in the Chaddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latics_Fanatic Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Look forward to "The Athleticos" returning to the RRE. Should be a good atmosphere next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveoafc Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I was always a chaddy ender for years. You don't realise how poor it is in there until you actually give another stand a fair go There's at least two stands to choose from with much better facilities, give them a go.

Senor_Coconut Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 What about the people who left the Chaddy End because of the Athleticos? Are they going top have to move again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latics and England Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Just out of interest, are all the non Chaddy End season ticket holders who are expressing support for this move the same people who thought there were 70,000 who had no right to a view on Ched Evans?

NewBlue Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Look forward to "The Athleticos" returning to the RRE. Should be a good atmosphere next season. This is the major positive in my opinion. Putting home fans in the end that sounds the loudest should create a decent atmosphere. Dislike the fact that away fans will be so far from vocal home fans but this is a half decent compromise. It will be weird looking out upon a Chaddy without 'tics in there though. It'll take time to get used to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBosch Posted April 18, 2015 Author Share Posted April 18, 2015 If the kids are going to mither you to go in the new stand they aren't going to be bought off by staying in the Chaddy I didn't get that far in my imaginary conversation. I was trying to keep it succinct. Do I need to take it to it's teary conclusion where the boy get's a life ban after going for :censored:peas?

Hands on Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 The problem I have with this is that it does make good sense. It could be they licked their finger and stuck it in the air. It could be they did speak to some people. They didn't ask everyone but then as it is a sensible thing to do creating a family area and not having to ask anyone to move again and giving the away fans the worse facilities and so on. Why not try the OEC next season, Chaddy End, where you can shout at those nasty deprived away supporters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc-latics Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 (edited) They could have given Chaddy End ST holders first dibs on other stands, but apart from that, it's the right decision. I was debating whether to go to the Peterborough game, but I'll definitely make the effort for the last game in the Chaddy. The club and/or fans should try and fill it for one last time, probably get a few more in if you reduce prices slightly and get as many Latics in as possible.

HarryBosch Posted April 18, 2015 Author Share Posted April 18, 2015 Ok, enlighten me, what's so funny? The suggestion that there's any difference in the "quality" of any of our 3 :censored:ty stands.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underdog Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Will the small section be the family section? The section could be tarted up a bit too to be branded family section. Even sponsored? That's how I read it and it's how it's been marketed too on the official season ticket stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I do think a sweetener for those forced to relocate is in order. Even if it's just a £10 Sports Direct voucher, free pie for the first three games voucher or something along those lines. Consultation is all well and good but from reading previous threads on the subject those who feel particularly strongly about the subject are a very small minority. That said, I'd like to understand more clearly the rationale for upsetting that minority who appear to be long standing fans with a passion for the football club. One wonders about policing costs (although this has been given as a reason not to make the change in the past). For what it's worth I support the decision. But then it suits me not to be kicked out of the RRE every time a team with a following over 1,400 rocks up at BP. A proper family area is a positive thing too and part of growing the future fan base. Developing that effectively is, for me, a big part of what the club needs to do. But I do hope that, given time to reflect, those fans who are naffed off with the change do stick with Latics and continue to enjoy their football in a new stand at an even fuller Boundary Park next season.
