Why is a club official posting on a fans message board?


As it helps to clear up any confusion very quickly.

Why shouldn't he. It's always helpful to have the inside info on certain things and I'm sure Nick's a fan of the club anyway!

Do the full pontoon or to create a better atmosphere do the strip down the Middle, safe standing in just the right side will make very little change to the atmosphere as its lost out of the open corner at the minute and everyone currently stands up.

Personally I hate standing at football matches - much prefer to have a seat. But kudos to the club for listening to what the fans have asked for and reacting to it!

Must admit, unless there are cost restrictions, I would support doing all the stand. Had some great moments in the Pontoon during my yonger days, always one that stands out was Stuart Brace equaliser against Scunthorpe in something like 97 th minute. Think it was day Rathbone & Welbourne were sent off and got unbelievable eight week bans.

But memory not what it was so I await correction from those that may have been there.

Brilliant. It brings back memories of being cosy and warm standing in the Barratt instead of freezing on a square of cold plastic gazing at Spurn Head. Atmosphere is what a club needs.

Hopefully whichever company sponsors it gets their logo on a big intercourse off bit of metal to close off the open side in the Pontoon to keep the noise in.

This made me laugh, but a good idea though.

Without being negative, as I think this is tremendous, the corner does seen a very small area. Or is it the whole rows to the front of the stand???
