Fuck it, bring the money in then move them when they need filling in Checkatrade Northern Final... W***n don't have tiers - the fucking peasants.

I wouldn't want to sit any further down than the back few rows of a lower tier, particularly behind the goals Anyway, west upper for me and I'll pay for it up front, just to help out with cash flow like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve got huge grounds. We ain’t. Last time this was up for debate I spoke to some bloke at the club. He said they’d never even thought about it, but that cock Illes has started it all with some bullshit poll in the BEN and this bloke was running around like a loon trying to put out fires that weren’t there.

I think Tin pot is having stands with nobody In them I would like to know the costs for operating a top tier though This season is going to be bloody hard won’t be like last time out in league one averaging 15k it will be sparse at times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErnestTurnip Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 I know it's a bit of a crank thing but surely it costs more to operate a lower tier because of policing ? We already shut the lower for most away fans so most cost effective thing would be to close the bottom all the way around? Side effect of that would be I didn't have to move I suppose 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Closing the upper tiers won’t save as much money as you’d think as there’s a baseline figure to open the stadium in the first place. Might save a couple of dozen stewards per game but that is quickly cancelled out if a handful of fans decide they won’t renew rather than sit elsewhere, especially as they pay a premium compared to us lower tier paupers. Cheers. Someone with genuine knowledge. Leave the ground as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why he put them in the top so he could charge £5 more per ticket, if the demand was there they would of opened the bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErnestTurnip Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 You might well be right, I always took it he would have charged £__ regardless of where they sat and so if they got say 1500 allocated then it was cheaper to do it in the top. Thought same thinking meant we ended up in the top at Bramall Lane but again I could well be talking bollocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErnestTurnip Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Regulation is this Quote No Club shall charge higher admission prices for visiting supporters for accommodation that is ranked as comparable with or inferior to that used by supporters of the Home Club in the same or next highest ranked accommodation. Covered seats behind the goals are ranked as 2 (regardless of tier). Got that far but after that I got confused thinking about it and went and did a brew.
