So you would pay an £10 hike in charges aimed specifically at ripping you as a group of supporters off, to stand or sit at a ground where you could not see all the pitch and were miles away from what you could see, when the game is televised, would you!

Don't these sort of inflationary tricks and the £60 Caravan Park Cuddle Club tell you anything?

Its a great view from up there

Luckily I'm only paying £12 as I'm a student but even then I feel thats too much. What I don't get is, is that people are citing the awful South Stand as the reason they are not going yet there are still tickets available in another area in the ground. I've been in the North Stand before and its a very good view and there was no hostility. The only reason I switched ends is because I couldnt get student tickets in there before

I agree they have heard its bad but until they actually visit they dont realise just how bad!

Dont get me wrong I am NOT knocking what the club have done so far and you cant make new stands and facilties appear from thin air or overnight , all I am saying is that its obvious why away fans wont come and pay £20 to stand in the south stand

Go stand in it some time and see for yourself

Enjoy the match and think that it going to cost your club a small fortune to play it and the result will mean jack in the scheme of things

Expected the North to sell out TBH but I think you may still get a few last minute fans who decide on going in there tomorrow.

TBH it has always been a real pain to get tickets in the North stand and I assumed it would be the same again this time. Stan usually sorts me out with tickets but it wasn't possible this time. I'm shocked the North stand isn't sold out TBH. Where are all the millions of loyal Rovers fans?

People may have now made other arrangements. IIRC we were originally told we could not have tickets for the North stand? I was always under the impression tickets had to be obtained through other means? We also have the issue of the kick off time and the potential for trouble. As I was spat at the last time I was there under very hostile circumstances (after a mid-day kickoff) I dont fancy subjecting my other half to that again after a 6PM kick off. If it was just me it wouldn't be an issue.

I also think its about time the money grabbing to$$er realised he cant treat us like that and expect us to keep paying.

Kick off time and potential for trouble are different reasons, I was just solely talking about those who arent going just because they dont want to go in the South Stand. Tickets have always been able to be got for areas in the ground, the only difference between the derby games and other Rovers home games is that I think they have some sort of loyalty thing where if people have stubs from certain games they will get priority.
If people try and get tickets in other areas but fail, then fair enough. But if people say they arent going just because of how bad the South Stand is, and dont try for other areas no matter if they are under any assumption, then its a very, very poor excuse
