I reckon much of that though was down to the fact that we've seen something to get behind. I think this is probably right. I find that often all that's required for a good atmosphere is that we play well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might find it a financial issue when a couple of hundred miserable feckers like me don’t renew. 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because they don’t think they’ll lose money. Once faced with the possibility of losing cold hard cash up front, they might find that the supposed lack of atmosphere ain’t that important after all.

Lt. Aldo Raine Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 My season ticket is in the upper tiers and, in truth, I'd be unhappy if I was asked to move, especially because it's likely I'd end up in one of the corners of the lower tiers. I'd still renew my season ticket but I'd do it slightly begrudgingly. I can't comment on the financial aspect of it because I've got no idea of the costs involved or the potential savings. But on each occasion this proposal has raised its head all it seems to do is cause argument and infighting within the supporter base (not necessarily on here, but elsewhere). It might bemuse many that it's such an emotive issue but clearly it is, and it seems to me that the potential for division and resentment that might follow the decision to close one or all of the upper tiers is a big thing to risk in the hope of gaining a marginally better atmosphere.

Traf Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 No, they said the decision to close the tiers wouldn't be made as a cost cutting exercise. That's all was said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leyther_Matt Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Any financial benefit in keeping it open far outweighs any negligible benefit in atmosphere as far as I’m concerned. For what it’s worth, I think the atmosphere has been pretty decent at most of the games this season where the upper tiers have been open.

The you could always do lov never sounds great. likewise Mick saying uppers are the best customers. It’s about 60p more a game currently. I do agree this will only have a negative effect closing all uppers if it’s apathy they choose to take as people will stop coming which defeats the object of what I think they want to achieve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
