 supports my theory that the facilities  are basic. (Is it poor management?)

The parking situation at BP is at an all time low.  You want to attract new or ex customers then when they show up you turn them away from parking because it is all sold out to "season ticket" holders. All for giving regulars a spot when they pay for it but the car park. (Without the worthless "garden spots" ) could be much bigger..With such a big area all that is needed surely is a good Tarmac surface,  spaces allocated for those that have paid, and sell he rest for match day Income.. The area does not need (or has) garden areas that take up good parking space.

Obviously not in the North Stand.

seriously , the disappointment we all felt immense.

Let's be honest here.  I have been following Latics all my I life and my daughter and grand daughter have been with me all their

 lives. We bought season tickets for the new stand when  it was (eventually)  ready to open.Since then we have all felt somewhat short changed. The viewing is good, the cover In rain is terrible, the facilities are basic ( depending on your requirements) but all in all it is NOT the all singing all dancing stand we expected. It looks good against the rest of the ground, but there are  empty spaces where business should be invited.to invest. However, the basic requiremnt of is to let supporters what is going on at THEIR club..  To watch the  main stand cheering to something when we in the North Stand were oblivious to what was happening during the most momentous occasion in the clubs recent history was abysmal.  My granddaughter (the future of the club) was left wondering what and when the announcement was going to be made about the new owner, despite being encouraged to turn up early on the OFFICIAL  web site.  We turned up on time, heard nothing, clapped something,? and still wondered what was happening..  Th club NEED to sort out the speakers in the North Stand urgently.  

I read daily but very rarely comment on this site due to the many negative comments on the club I have grown up with and loved all my life. The lads in blue (whoever they are) need your support so let's get behind them.

Got my tickets this morning (Tuesday). We are in East Stand with unreserved seating.

I believe it is allocated seating

Just bought tickets. It is allocated seating and they are being sold by the block. Central blocks first as my seat is No 102
