Way too much chat about a heap of concrete. Summer signings ranked. Carabao Cup predictions and more! It's going to be another fun season. Thanks to our official partner, 2BLUES Financial Services…
Adam CooperHost
Dan ClarkHost
Damien Farrar-HockleyHostObviously, this means the end result is going to be there's going to be a significantly reduced presence in the terrace, which is a shame because that is the beating heart of Adams Park on a match day.
What do we think, one, about the solution that the club have found for the time being? And what do we make of the general optics coming out of this latest exchange between club and its fan base?
And, you know, just to remain some level of balance, if we win the first 20 games of the season, we won't be sat here in three months' time moaning about the fucking terrace.
It's just the fact that it's happened in closed season I think has made it worse.
But what was the point in putting a survey out if you're just going to do what the hell you want anyway? it just feels like they've kind of ticked a box and done what they were going to do.
I don't see any reason why those who are normally housed in the terrace couldn't have been moved to the away end.
And, you know, like at many other grounds, at Blackpool, at Bradford, at Cambridge, at Leyton Orient, at Notts County, at Oxford, at Peterborough, the away fans could have shared the Frank Adams and family stand.
I've spoken to maybe 30, maybe a few more people about it on WhatsApp, at work, face-to-face at the preseason game, and literally nobody thought it was a good idea.
put in our singers in inverted commas in the family stand and uh and the frank adams there's a couple of reasons for that firstly our three most vulnerable um groups of fans are in the family stand and that's children the elderly and the disabled Now, I personally don't think there will be too many people taking the club up on sitting in a family stand or sitting in a Frank Adams.
But if there are, do you really want pissed up, coked up 19-year-olds using the same facilities as eight, nine, 10-year-old kids, pensioners, and... disabled people in my mind no is the answer um the people who set up in the frank adams are notoriously somewhat a bit grumpy sorry damo You know, you've only got to talk to Damien Callum about some of the things that they hear on a match day.
How are these people who are paying our highest season ticket prices going to take to having a load of pissed up louts screaming and shouting up in the best part of the stadium? And then lastly, you know, the people who are standing in the terrace, they're paying...
They're going to be asked to pay significantly more with absolutely no compensation whatsoever for sitting in a Frank Adams.
If the club had to come out and said, if they'd have used Dan Clark PR, My guess is they would have come out and said, thanks very much for all your responses.
