retiredballboy Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I'm delighted. Away the whole of August, so I still get the chance to be one of the first few lucky ones in the brand spanking new north stand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simoncorneyisgod Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Disappointing that we've opened ourselves up to the first match with the new stand being limited by results. Had it been first home game I was looking forward to probably seeing the biggest league home crowd for several years. Hopefully near 6000, now if it's a poor start we may lose a proportion of those supporters. Bit optimistic! Don't think we will be seeing 6k plus until we have a big promotion push game against another northern team......or the obligatory 3rd Rd Scouse invasion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OAFCM35 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 If I had bought a ST, 100 club or a box in the North Stand I would be annoyed but I havent so im not too fused, it will be ready when its ready, wasnt so along ago we was looking at pile of rubble, we've hit a snag it happens.

Hands on Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I'm one of the supporters of Darren Kelly and our players but I don't like the way the club treats us in one main respect and that is there failure to keep us informed. The delay in opening the new North Stand is being placed on the electricity connection. I had a look yesterday and there is still much else to be done. You can have a look after the Fleetwood game just to see if all the other stuff that has yet to be done is completed, turnstiles, concourse, safety rails etc. and tell me how wrong I am if it is.

I don't think up near 6000 is out of the question if it is fully open with a huge promotion push and a good start. Bradford at home in 2013 was the club's highest league home attendance in the past two years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deyres42 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Citeh putting an open training session on to double up as their test event, might be an idea for Corney and co to arrange something similar rather than using league games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the test event needs a certain number of people, we might struggle to get that with an open training session; Citeh on the other hand...

SAV Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 The negativity on this board astounds me.Who wouldn't turn up at whatever the ground is called, for an open training session on a rainy Wednesday morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick_Valentine Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 This is excellent news for me, but not for my 2 mates who are having my ST for the first 2 home games while I'm on holiday. Can't see them being too arsed about watching Fleetwood & Chesterfield from one of the other cow sheds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the club needed my to put my arse somewhere else for a couple of hours and do very little there then I might be persuaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafcmetty Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Dealing with ENW and UU are nightmares for main contractors as you literally have zero leverage over them, no matter if you're Carillion, Balfour Beatty, Laing O'Rouke or Paddy McGuiness and Sons. You have to pay them up front, can't play them off against their competitors and can't threaten to withhold future work from them. Everything is on their terms. For now, but competition in Connections is on the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueatheart Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Do you have a few hundred friends in the same situation? Teachers? School dinner ladies, school cleaners, school gardeners, parents off work with the children who aren't in school. Might even make 50 Latics fans out of that lot.

stevehr64 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Went down Saturday to pick up season tickets for seats I didn't want (kicked out of Chaddy End) that I won't be able to sit in (not going to be ready) but couldn't get them anyway because, at 10 past 12, ticket office and rest of ground were in darkness and locked up. Went round the back to look at stand; not a soul about. Looks like a building site! Yes, I know it is one but with two weeks to go, should be looking a bit more like a footy ground. Electricity supply my arse - it's nowhere near ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehr64 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 1. Would expect a bit of weekend activity with 2 weeks to go. 2. Because having the ticket office open would make it much easier to collect tickets than not having it open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I think that the ticket office opening times should be more clearly displayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
