Lee Sinnott Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 With the "boycott" in place for home games next season, are we expecting the club to close at least one of the stands? No prizes for guessing which stand would be first on the list, but it would make more sense to me to close the Chaddy and make the small section of the RRE the away end...

oafc21 Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Just keep the RRE open, surely with what fan base we will have left after these tw#ts running the club into the ground, there will be plenty of seating available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely should not close the Family Section Would encourage an ‘Athletico Juniors’ section in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disjointed Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 If they close the North stand I could see it pissing off what little remains of the attending fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I think if they were to take ideas of this message board I'd like to think the first one would be to sell up and do one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarddog73 Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 You'd open the Chaddy for about half dozen teams the rest should be in the small section of the RRE, makes no sense at all to open three nevermind four stands given the protests announced and the reported low take up season tickets (not quite sure we've only sold a couple of hundred).

Or they could try rebuilding the relationship with the fans and work toward trying to sell more season tickets and filling the ground as much as possible.

It needs to come back the other way now. The owners have stated they’re selling the club, which will happen in time. There’s no reason why there couldn’t be an amicable relationship with fans in the ground in the meantime. Other than the club not wanting one of course.

Have we not gone beyond that? Abdallahs tenure has been an unmitigated disaster and I'm not sure what would change the minds of those who've decided enough is enough, If Abdallah came out reaffirmed his desire to sell, promised to stay away along with his brother and shitpeas and give Shez full autonomy with a budget to challenge would that help? I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
