atomicjam - I think they are moving where the steps are in the North stand, so it's possible people who were previously next to an aisle may not be any more, that sort of thing.  It may be your seat is in the vicinity of this sort of reshuffle?  I guess that would be better than losing the seat and being asked to re=apply for it in the general free for all.

Yeah, that has occurred to me but its really not clear. I just wish the Club would communicate / clarify things better.

Lendlease, the Australian construction conglomerate, have announced they are pulling out of the UK market.

They run the Smithfield development plan - that absolutely enormous patch of empty land slap bang in the city centre, which is now up in the air in terms of planning.

Just saying, like.

Smithfield is still definitely happening. We are staying where we are.

I wonder what they'll do with the old seats they're taking out.

Seems a waste, surely giving them to local non league clubs, or even flogging them to fans, would be better.

If only there was a poor local club with a crumbling stadium that were used to taking our hand me down stuff...

Pity, even if we didn't go there, making it into a park for people to use rather than a multi use money maker would be far better for the City.

The organisers of Pride cannot use the site after next year, there is a dedicated events area but it's far too small.

There is one, but they’ve already got more seats than they’ll ever need…

Plus wrong shade of blue. Although when their seats fade in the sun, maybe its the same light blue as ours.

Beggars can't be choosers. Plus, they all secretly want to be us anyway.

It's a bit like the film Us.

The new seats at that particular ground are going to made of pure gold and have a life time guarantee, providing the Zulus mob don't steal them

It might not be happening, but that would be the prime location for me, if we were to move.
