angieram Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 It's been a busy week for fan engagement. Last night was the latest SCG meeting and the minutes are up on the RamsTrust website now. You can view them HERE. There is some overlap with the Fans' Forum, of course, but new stuff in here too, including an answer to the burning question about counting attendance at Pride Park. (You see, I do listen to you sometimes! 😂) WestKentRam and Miggins 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gives a bit of stability and plenty of time for him to decide what he wants to do in the future. It all depends where we are but if we are challenging for promotion to the PL (or more likely in it 😁) hopefully Mr Clowes will be able to bring in a partner or sell outright to someone he trusts. I believe he will do the right thing for the club. Miggins, Reggie Greenwood and angieram 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(You see, I do listen to you sometimes! 😂) Quote from the minutes "Atmosphere - Many supporters leave the ground early and watch the TVs in the concourses. Could these be turned off by at least the 90th minute with a plea from the club to stay in the ground and get behind the players?" Typical Ramstrust busy-bodying. Let fans make their own decision - there are some very good reasons why fans may choose to go to the Concourse before the final whistle and view the TVs.

"Fans" leave their seats before the final whistle to go and stand in the concourse to watch the final minutes on the TV? I fully understand people who actually leave the ground to avoid the rush, catch trains etc, but to just watch on a tiny TV screen when a few feet away you can watch live? Now that's just plain weird. ossieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angieram Posted March 22 Author Share Posted March 22 The questions for SCG are submitted by all the supporters' groups and individuals and all questions are submitted collectively and debated at the SCG meeting for their worth, not filtered out. A good example of that is the situation in East Stand. I can't speak for other groups, but RT gets some members asking for a relaxation of standing there to improve atmosphere and others asking for better stewarding so they can continue to sit peacefully in seats they have occupied since PP opened. Both views have been put forward at past meetings because they have been asked. The SCG is a collective, not just RamsTrust, so why single them out for criticism?

Now that's just plain weird. I think it’s obvious why some people do it. In order to get a head start on the crowd leaving the stadium. It’s simply a bit of a compromise. They want to leave earlier than most people but don’t want to miss any late goals. I wouldn’t do it myself but some obviously do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine it could sometimes take 20 minutes to get down from the top of the South Stand if waiting until after the final whistle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the opposite. You're lazy bodies not wanting to stand up and sit down every two minutes. G STAR RAM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always stay to the final whistle and to clap the players but edging towards the exit because the East Stand isn’t easy to escape from 😊 I have a train to catch and if there’s lots of extra time this can get a bit tricky. Fine if I’m in good shape because I can jog but I could well imagine many need more time. archram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
