Site Supporter MickyD Posted November 25, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted November 25, 2019 If they merge then let's keep ESU open. It's the one you can see from TV gantry and there's not a lot mote tin-pot than having a great stadium and nobody in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth looking at the official Twitter page as a whole from tonight been some interesting comments across the whole club. Sounds like something permanent to honour Eddie Davies will be looked at once his family are ready to discuss it What actually happened was that Emma Beaugeard & Keith Hill were at the Lancaster Whites meeting last night. It was meant to be Emma plus McGinlay & Kelly, but the club felt Hill should show his face publicly at the earliest opportunity after Saturday. My daughter had been asked to write the introductions and then do the honours on the evening and we got a call at 5pm, saying there'd been a change and could she hastily prepare something about Hill instead. So, there was the usual Q&A... Closing the upper tiers won't be purely for financial reasons, the club think the atmosphere will be better. There is a plan in place to commemorate Eddie Davies for his contributions, but his wife isn't ready for it to happen just yet. They're going to re-visit stadium pricing, as there are too may price bands now and they're willing to explore some discounts for 12-18 yr old in hospitality. Fanzone unlikely to be in the suite much longer, Emma agreed it was too corporate/sterile/bland. Exploring use of outside space or even a concourse pre-game, especially if upper tiers are closed. And we might be wearing Macron kits again next season. We still owe them a year and they’re wanting us to fulfil the contract. Clubs trying to fight it, but concede that it might just be cheaper to wear it. The legal costs might make fighting it a futile venture.

I saw the photos you put on FB looked a decent number there. Someone text me about the Macron thing last night and I wondered where the info had come from. I wonder what style and state of kit we'll have from a company that doesn't want to design it and a club that doesn't want to wear it.

tkonion Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Got three great seats together in North Upper, won't be able to get anything similar by picking around the unwanted seats in the lower tiers along with a few thousand others. Starting moving folk from where they want to be to where that don't is a high risk strategy IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traf Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 I'd close West & North Uppers, leave East open for all those wanting to sit upstairs and I'd put the away fans back in South Upper and use the South Lower concourse for the fanzone with more of beer festival type vibe.

waffer cup 07 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 (edited) I don't understand fans wanting the North Upper closing. Surely we want as many fans as possible behind the goal to improve the atmosphere. The North Upper is a cheaper area for families and is set up to accomodate fans with video games before the game. Were as the East and West upper are sparsely occupied. Edited November 27, 2019 by waffer cup 07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big E Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 The north upper ins't full. LOV is East upper so makes sense to keep that open. The fanzone in the south stand is a non starter given the location of the away end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waffer cup 07 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Seems fans are coming up with good reasons to keep every stand open. So why change it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it does a little, we've seen that this season. I reckon much of that though was down to the fact that we've seen something to get behind. If we play a few like Saturday, well.. Perhaps another experiment for the Doncaster game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
