oafc1955 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 It just shows that regardless of the electricity connection problems, despite statements to the contrary there was never, ever, any chance of this stand being ready for the season's opener!

nesbitt1988 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 a joke of a club and another reason why I wont be buying a season ticket in the near future. I feel for all the fans who bought one in that stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc-latics Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 I feel a protest march coming on. Stand up for your rights! Will there be stewards to tell you to sit down, though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longtimeblue Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 a joke of a club and another reason why I wont be buying a season ticket in the near future. I feel for all the fans who bought one in that stand. I'm one of them and I don't think it's a big issue (standard ST). It'll be a bit comical if it's not opened now though after the announcement. I'd be well pissed off if I was a box/100 club member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarddog73 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 a joke of a club and another reason why I wont be buying a season ticket in the near future. I feel for all the fans who bought one in that stand. This whole fiasco has made me really question my commitment to providing the club my money in the summer, it is a massive disappointment to many fans the way the club is treating its patrons, I don't know of any other business that would treat its loyal customers in such a way, its not really so much the disappointment of not being able to use the facilities you've paid for more the deceitful way they have strung us all along.

RoyleArmy1994 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 What puts the icing on the cake for me is how SC was so assured the new stand would be ready for the start of this current season. Its now mid october and ST Holders are still not in it, with the suites and boxes far from ready and yet noone has come forth and given us stakeholders an explanation as to why this is the case.

Lincoln Blue Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 If it's not open, my son and I are seriously thinking about not coming up on Saturday. It's 2 hours each way and I'm loosing a bit of enthusiasm with the whole thing. I'll never stop supporting the club but they do stretch your loyalty. I said after the defeat on Saturday "We deserve better" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hands on Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 I might have strange ideas but they are based on what little the club has said and it seems the club has no idea at all. I have a vision of a labourer sweeping the concrete dust out of the concourse and a man with a clip board saying "Not ready yet". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueatheart Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 I'll be disappointed if it isn't open on Saturday but the product on the pitch is what will affect my attendance (or lack of) to games. I'm sick of the RRE now and still pissed off I was forced to move from the chaddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamoafc Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 They are putting down the strips on the Isles from the photographer guy at latics. would think this would suggests we will be able to sit in it but around us will be a building site!

AnthonyOAFC Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Might be wrong, don't think they will release a statement tonight. Probably tomorrow now. Thought they would have announced something earlier in the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beag_teeets Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 If I get to sit in my new seat or sit in the RRE just like I have done since the Lookers closed makes no odds to me, I'd like to be in the new one but actually couldn't care less. It is a delay to a building project, not a fiasco, embarrassment, disaster, hanging offence or joke. It is a building overrun, they happen. It will be open when it is open.

palmer1 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 If the stand opens for Saturday & we win this board will be absolutely deserted Saturday night.

bluehobbit Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I do think its a bit embarrassing. The club have claimed xy and z as reasons for the delay which I don't think many people believe. I'll be there Saturday and I hope for the people who have bought seats they are in them sooner rather than later but if I had a choice id rather have 3 points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
