| Quote ="gutterfax"After much gnashing of teeth regarding the £15-£25 seat scenario in the East Stand Only available saga........I feel it's worth while those posters who have thoughts on this either posting their ideas on this thread, or PM- ing me.
I have no doubt that the club will listen to a "unified" question regarding this, together with ticketing and prices, but it just seems that some will simply post on here and either stump up the £25 or just not turn up.
Neither of these is an ideal situation, as has been pointed out that some "newbies" will pay the £15.....but not the £25.
I also freely admit to not being fully up to date with what is open to all and not, with regard to the south/north stand and will happily be guided by those who know what is what.
This is not to say I will be the one to offer this "unified" question, but it is obvious that this is an important issue.
Please do include a viable solution and a suitable reply to the "SKY have asked us to fill one stand" resonse we will get.
I look forward to your sensible replies.
Thanx
Barney'"
Why PM you? Who apointed you all seeing gobe, as you have so spectacularily made an ass of yourself on this point what makes you think you can represent anyones views?

Your reponses yesterday and today show a lack of understanding, it's not a sweeping statement anyone reading your posts on this thread will see you have missed the point completely so how can you then want to go on and represent anyone else?
oh yes I forgot you are the 'offical' mouthpice of the club come on, your not even a season ticket holder, a part time attende at best. Yesterday you were telling posters what to post, no one's allowed to make a negative point cos your nose is all brown. Get over yourself. Oh yes and of course general statements on potential trouble were directed soley at you.
But it does help thanks about as much as your comparison of Tescos and Quins very abt, what's your porblem with Tescos Logo? oh no, don't tell me you applied to be CEO of Tescos too and they turned you down despite you having to take a pay cut, never mind the country pile and multimillion pound flat that come with the job would have been a step down from your gaff in Brentford no doubt.
Talking of andwind how did you get on trying to get 700 supporters to fork out 60 quid each?

OK...I will bite.
I may not be worth 1% of the fans who have over the years done their best to keep this club afloat and I may well be an opinionated to55er at times, but, What I am is someone who saw a game of Rugby League, got hooked and then since then, have done what I can to help the club in general.
Unlike some, who simply bitch, I try to do my bit, other than just offer opinion about what should be done.
Maybe your angst comes from me not replying to this wonderful and hilarious post on the wales bus thread: (BTW....bus paid for now)
Quote ="nnl01"Can you pick me up at my house?
If so I'm in too, although I would normally make my way to Twickenham for a game I feel as you will be going by within 20 miles for £15 you should pick me up.
I'm sure those already booked on the bus will not mind yet another detour.'"
Tell you what...you continue to snipe away on what you think should be done (right or wrong I will add), and do SFA.......it really helps. No, Honest, it does.
As for me being the clubs mouthpice (sic) (nice by the way), do me a favour. I am on nobody's christmas card list at the club and out of sheer professional respect decided not to attack while the club was in transition.
Of my thousands of posts, I would guess that 90% have been slagging of the club.
As for me applying for the job at Quins...I did so, fully expecting to not even get past the CV stage, but again, I threw my hat in the ring, unlike some. And yes, if you really are interested, I would have taken a cut in income if I had got the job. By the way, just because I own a flat in Brentford, doesn't mean I am not successful......just that I am settled in a particular area.....but then again, generalisms are what you are good at
As for representing anyone...I don't. I wanted to get some idea of SOLUTIONS before recommending that maybe a group representation was sent to the club.....but you carry on being a pr1ck........it's what you're good at.

Oh didums! Whats the emoticon for having your bottom lip out wobbling? Is that why you completely missed the point of this thread because I dared to post something on your Wales bus thread. I think you must misread my posts on purpose, no one can be that stupid.
BTW I actually think you are to be congratulated on that, trully, the post on the wales bus thread was at those supporters that think as they are paying a meazily 15 quid to go to wales you should be going all round south east england to pick them up. Well Done
But the same does not apply to your comments on this thread.
You don't know me so therefore you have no knowledge of what I do or don't for the club. There are probably lots of supporters out there helping the club out on a regular basis they just don't need to announce it on here!

Yes I am miffed by your continued sniping.....and why wouldn't I be? As for harping on about what I do for the club....tell you what...I'll just stop doing it then (the things I do, not the harping ). If I choose to blow my own trumpet, what damage does that do to you? If you are helping out, well done.....I wish more were like you and helping out, but do not think for a minute you know me. I am a passionate RL fan and therefore, I not only vent my spleen on these boards but also to the club (on a regular basis)
Hey...what do I know.....you are obviously well connected at the club and I bow to your superior Knowledge.......
Good luck assidting with the future marketing, away trips, fund raising and other initiatives with the club. I will tell them you are taking over

Just to make sure this can't be missread congratulations on organising the coach to Wales well done.
As for club connections, I think every reader of this forum could easily identify those who like to claim connections.

again...I you start off so well and then revert to type.
As for connections.....I have none. I have like minded individuals who keep in touch, but no connections. I do not, have any connection with the company at all in any professional capacity.
Lastly, disagree all you like......but remember, I am in sales. Even if I am wrong, I am never wrong and will never ever ever admit to being even slightly wrong.

| Quote ="Dave Lister"Who moaned about away fans being behind the goal?
'"
IIRC It was the club that gave the reason that the low roof made the away fans sound noisier (not our supporters complaining) when announcing the North Stand would close after the 2006 season, but three stands had been open in that season and both the side stands were open after that.
If enough stewards are present to cover the possibility of at least one end needing to be open (and we'd look pretty silly if 4,000+ turned up and the gates had to be locked because the extra stand couldn't be opened for safety reasons) why not just open that end anyway? Surely that's not going to make the East Stand look so empty that Sky will get upset? I'd have thought the main issue there was having most supporters opposite the cameras, not underneath them. A loose arrangement of having home fans along the side and away fans behind the goal, with each having the option to go in the other stand, worked well enough at Griffin Park for several years.

I have to agree. It looked really strange at the Warrington game with an end stand open with a handful of spectators in (mainly the kids from the half time parade). If having one end stand open is going to continue to happen, then it would be good if the away fans could move to the South or North and have all home support in the Etihad Stand.

Before this turned into a slanging match for a couple of pages, I beleive this is what we were getting at.
If at least two stands are open, why not dedicate one entirely to away support? This way all their fans can be together, while Quins fans would usually fill the Etihad stand.
SKY is happy
No extra costs
Potential extra revenue
I was (and still may) come this weekend, but I will not be able to bring extra friends with me due to lack of seats at the £15 price. Last season I came paid £10 and sat in a great position. In the off season I worked on my circle of friends and managed to convinced them to come with me.
This season I have done my bit and brought 9 friends with me to games. Some came to Manly, the others Wigan and I missed the Wire game as I was out of town.
The Wigan game left a bad taste in the 4 friends mouths who came due to sitting in row 2 while thousands of seats were left unoccupied (I turned up when gates opened). I'm stuggling to get those guys to return.
This week I have 3 lined up (some came to manly), with potential for another 2-3. However, they would most likely not attend if tickets are £25 (especially as tickets for Manly were $12 through TNT on half way). They would rather plow that extra 10-20 quid through the bar and catering. If all the £15 tickets are nearly gone, what is this saying about our market? Usually the first seats to go are the premium ones, however most people beleive our product is only worth £15 and are willing to pay that much for it.
This is just my experience, as a club that is trying to grow we are not doing a great job to encourage new fans through the game day experience. Sure we have a great bar, but essentially you are paying to watch the game of footy, and I dont want to sit in a seat that is below the signage line.

Yep, I thought the whole point was only the East Stand would be open but that is not the case in practice.

| I have no idea what the answer is but a friend I was going to bring along probably won't be coming now for similar reasons to those cited above. It may be there is no better answer but it would seem to be worth the club looking at this one.
Incidentally re Hindyscrack comment about friends not being happy at being stuck in Row 2 when thousands of seats were empty. I remember writing to Nic Cartwright once asking why a group of my friends had been allocated tickets behind the try line at Griffin Park when 95% of the next two blocks were empty for that game. (They moved into better seats strangely enough.) I thought at the time it would have been a pretty disastrous first impression on a group of first timers if I hadn't been with them. Nic never replied, good to know we have enough fans we can afford to hack off first timers eh.

You dont need to, i know for a fact they keep their eye on this forum. I had to kick Wire fans out of my season ticket seat the other week, because they wanted to sit near some other Wire fans who were in my block as there was no room in their side to all sit together. Ridiculous in a stadium of 12000 capacity and only 3500 in attendance.
