Skip forward a bit and learn the words.................
There was a rumour going around last week about the possibility of moving a block of ST holders to give safc more seats, I think the club are keeping a keen eye on the attendance to judge its feasibility.No, no, no, a million times no.
How many times do we have to have this trotted out?
Also, as a North Stand season ticket holder, where do you suggest I sit when my seat is occupied by Sunderland/Portsmouth/B Rovers fans???

If true to me that would mean no appreciation of loyal fans who spend there hard earned money on a ST.

Giving a different view to be shot down but....
When the club sold STs in the middle of the North stand didn't they say at the time that it was on the proviso that it may mean for the occasional large game moving those people to a different part of the ground?
I seem to recall that but could be wrong
This had better not happen. Particularly for Sheffield United supporters. Why should they have special treatment? Why are they even being allowed to go?

In fairness, this looks like being one of the better initiatives in recent years to get numbers through the gate. Hopefully we will get a full house and see more of these type of things.
No one is asking it for both ways..“Loyal”
“Hard Earned”
Both phrases used to try and give more traction to arguments when they don’t realky have enough substance in my opinion.
The truth is, every club needs to maximise revenue streams and sometimes this might involve increasing the away allocation.
If we aren’t selling the tickets aimed for, which is a possibility given the form this season and the constant rubbish coming from the chairman and manager then it makes sense to open up a bit more of the north stand for away fans.
Let’s not forget, it’s not uncommon for people to come on here every time we go to Bristol Rovers and AFC Wimbledon and complain about the “pitiful” allocation of seats we are given at each of those grounds.
I suspect giving us more would mean moving “loyal fans” who have spent “hard earned” money on a season ticket but it’s obviously ok when we want the extra room.
Can’t have it both ways.
EFL rules for away games are 10% of the total allocated to visiting supporters .... with the Breeze Block capacity at 11500, 1800 away allocation is quite a bit more than a mere 10% ... why would the mackems messiah (mr methane) apparently be doing Oliver Twist impersonations re tickets for scumderlands visit?
