Fill the ground. The South stand is always the first to sell out, Cardiff game is already sold out and only a few left for Bristol. The North stand is the one that needs discounting for families.

I'm just saying cheap tickets isn't the way to do it. I’m actually not talking about improving the atmosphere, I’m talking about getting more people into DCFC and being able to attend games.

Sorry, thought you were. You don't need to get more fans into the South Stand, it's a near sell out every match. So to get more fans into ground, you'd need to discount seats elsewhere.

Dont know if its a later thing singing or not. I started in the 60's and we sung then. It's just personal choice. My husband never sings or chants. I was a Popsider in 70s and I only recall the songs, but I bet there were plenty didn't join in. But West Stand was awful when I moved up there, no noise at all. Now there's a mix. I like it!

RadioactiveWaste Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Last time I was in the south stand everyone stood up the whole match anyway so I think provision for safe standing is a no brainer provided it's not too expensive to install. Doesn't have to be the whole stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong, but I thought that, where safe standing (Rail seats) is available and allowed, the seats get locked in the upright (unusable) position. For games that don't allow the safe standing option (European ties?... irrelevant in our case!) they are released to be used in the usual way. For "safe-standing games", I don't think sitting is an option (in those area(s). *Going totally on memory from a past read-up, and haven't re-checked the facts, so very much stand to be corrected. ?♂️ angieram and Ghost of Clough 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds Ram Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 I think it's a good idea but one that is currently unnecessary. I'm sure the south stand will sell out pretty much every match next season especially if we can start putting some form together and be looking at the right end of the table. I think more attention needs to be given to the North stand and work out a way to try and get that a bit more popular than it is. angieram, Kathcairns, HorsforthRam and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HorsforthRam Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 When I was a kid, me and my mates (all about aged 11/12) used to go to the BBG boys end in the Normanton end. Our parents didn’t go, we went by ourselves. I don’t think you can do that now? It a shame we can’t have a boys (and girls) end in the North Stand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will that bring the return of someone weeing in your pocket because it's too difficult to leave a packed terrace to get to the toilets ? And yes younger fans, believe it or not that did used to happen !! or they would use a rolled up programme for direction Edited April 20, 2022 by SamUltraRam Premier ram and GB SPORTS 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
