I agree with you in that I don't buy this argument one bit (sky or money), I'd like to hear exactly what sky say since we've never actually heard directly from them on the issue, besides I don't see sky only filming the open stand, near on impossible - what do they do only film from one side? No they film from all over the ground! Besides they only film a couple of games a year! Anyway I can't see that anyone but the club would decide where people sit, I'm begining to think it's certainly not sky?

Thing is I can't see why quins are keeping things like this, I don't think it's cost either as it'll only take another 5 or less stewards.

So why? What's to gain from closing the ground? I think the club need to open the Lexus stand again to have any chance of moving on, I fear though this won't happen!

I think now, more then ever the club needs a fans voice or group who can go someway to finding answers to these and increasingly more and more unanswered questions from the club.

ok, so what are the real problems and how should we go about solving them?

For reasons gone over many times on here, I would much prefer to be in the West stand. I'd pay more for the option, but the club aren't offering that. I think they may be making a mistake there, though without any real understanding of why they've made the decision, I can't be sure.

But the deal that they are offering is IMO great value for money. I had decided that I'd upgrade next season to the seats they're now classing as Silver, but no point in that, I'm going to go for Bronze. I can sit wherever I want in the allocated blocks, move if I don't like anybody nearby (a true boon for a grumpy old anti-social), take someone with me and sit next to them, sit out of the sun by arriving early which I always do, and stay home for the odd evening game on Sky where sun-in-eyes would be a real problem for me. Even at normal prices, Bronze is great value for money, but at geriatric/student special rates it's almost a giveaway.

Now, PLEASE dear management give us a team that's competitive and entertaining.

I'd say:
[1 Lack of crowd numbers for first team fixtures
[2 Lack of action to address this.
[3 Lack of awareness in the local and wider community
[4 Competitiveness of first team (although this wasn't so much of an issue at the beginning of the season). 4 home wins isn't good enough.



Much harder to answer.

Getting enough people along to fill a stand !

Genius

If only the club had had that idea
