Chaddy14 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Sorry to ask again but whilst I agree with much of the sentiment on this thread, I still do not understand why the North stand safety issues are not dealt with the owners? The owners are not AL, he is the one supposedly trying to buy it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
another fan Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 I have had a telephone conversation with Natalie and exchanged emails but without answers to my questions, All I would like to know is how refunds from last season will be paid . I dont think it unreasonable to offset this against a 2020 /2021 ticket and pay the balance. Also how will the Club deal with season ticket holders when games are played behind closed doors. Until then my money is staying where it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our attendances have been bleeding away over the last 10/15 years because more and more people get bored of being shit. So I'd accept that a 10/20% drop off would be because of that. But season ticket sales have dropped off a cliff this summer, I'd say that's due to a lot more than just folk being bored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Barry himself as so eloquently put - on a match day the responsibility of the stand is that of the person holding the Safety Certificate - that person is Mr Abdallah Lemsagem. It’s the whole reason he said he would be kicking doors down if needed. the stand was able to be open for people to get a butty and a pint before hand and for any events the OEC wanted to run so clearly what the landlords want to use it for is safe - like I said earlier 12 months to unchain a door? Something stinks and I’m not referring to Barry after a Balti pie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShireBlue Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Just for the perspective, my in-laws are Leeds Rhinos season ticket holders and I occasionally go with them (by no means a Leeds fan!). They bought me a 3 game ‘membership’ at Christmas, and since lockdown I’ve had several emails and letters regarding ticketing and refund updates. I’ve just had a pin badge and club shop voucher sent in the post as a thank you for my support, even though I chose to carry over my tickets as credit.

Emcee_Latic Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 If they were going to open the North Stand we would know by now. By playing a political game with the OEC all they are doing is losing fans. They pay rent for the whole stadium on matchdays which includes the North Stand. When I said they pay rent I should have said allegedly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course not. But all that sort of stuff adds up to giving an impression of apathy toward the fans from the club. So no wonder that feeling is getting returned.

Until then my money is staying where it is Refunds from last season are being paid back onto your card. All you had to do to is put your card number, expiry date and the three digit number in an email to the club. That will then sit in an email inbox ready to be processed at a later date. Not sure what was more bizarre - the fact the club sent an email asking for it or the fact that some people have done it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the other clubs in the EFL have been offering refunds too: it would be interesting to see if their fans have had to hand over this information too...

latics22 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 It's a seat with a view of the pitch, does what the other 3 stands does. Dont really get the fuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont really get the fuss. it’s a lot more comfortable than the shed on the opposite side and the fuss is the fans once again being treated like shit. We have one of the best stands in the league and it’s going to be pissing empty again with the cameras on it every week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaticMark Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 It's also been mentioned that the first few games (at least) could have fans socially distancing. If they used every other row, and every other seat, it would reduce BP's capacity to just over 2,000 using only 3 stands! Last season ended in mid-March, so the club has had 5 months to sort the problem out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
