BP1960 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Maybe AL will close all the stands then he could save on operational costs and have no AL out chants or demos at the ground again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boyyou Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Expect the first few rows of the RRE will also be covered with tarpaulin, like Tranmere (a) and Crawley (h), just to add to the ambience! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The impression this statement gives is that the u16 is, at the very least, unwelcome in that section. It's disgusting treatment of fans again. Refund request and donation to the fund?! That's just a suggestion of course - I respect your choice either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see how they will enforce that over-21 rule, anyway. You may end up being the only club in the country where you need your passport to hand in order to sit where you want. In a ground that is 90% empty.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The craziest thing about all this is that it's punishing the fans that have already bought or will buy tickets. It won't affect the boycotters at all! That's the level of ineptitude we're dealing with when it comes to Barry Owen. And how much contempt he has for fans, even for the ones still willing to go and pay money into the club.

BP1960 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 What next, only the main stand open to over 65s? Actually it wouldn't surprise me with this lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
100milesaway Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 So tell us again Barry, why are YOU shutting the North stand ?. Every single week I keep saying to myself, this utter catastrophic situation at the club, with one volley of shots after another, all aimed at the fans coming to an end. The way things are going there will be no fans left come the start of the season. I have no intention in sitting in any stand at BP, until Barry, and those two psychopaths are gone. What a sad excuse for a community football club we have become. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarddog73 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Weird thing is if they'd have released a statement to say we will shut one stand next season to cut operational costs most people would get that, to then back fill your statement with absolute bullshit is what gets peoples backs up, is he really that self absorbed to think this is a battle he is going to win or is he just having his last hurrah because he knows his days are numbered? Either way this cunt has to go, before the Lemsagams in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightDN123 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 I’ve said it so many times before but Barry Owen baffles me as an individual. No one, not a single person wants him involved in the club. Just go away and stay out of the club like everyone wants. I can’t get my head around it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
