I remember Ellis bolting on some boxes at the back of the Witton Lane Stand and they looked exactly as they sound, awful.

Distinct echoes here.

Or when he decided that adverts should cover Leitch’s masterpiece of a balcony in the Trinity. £25k per year that raised…

Or the green house on the back of the Trinity balcony which stopped it being listed. Or the red guttering. Or the huge brown cladding on the Holte and Witton Ends. No appreciation of history at all.

And that's the thing - you knew Ellis would do everything on the cheap but expected NSWE to be different.

The brother said that he believes what happens is that they get someone to stand in front of the disability seating area to judge the height of people standing up, not sure if he is correct on this occasion

Even if they hadn't, you'd have hoped that the make do and mend culture had been eradicated.

I've never been in the 1874 lounge.  What is it like, where is it accessed from and how much is it?  Is it open at half time too?

I was just wondering how it compares to the Terrace View and given the limited take up if that is more what the TV will become in the future.  Or will it go the other way and will they upscale the 1874 and chuck some padded seats into the Witton?

I've been in there a few times. Mick Dale used to host in there, do a quiz written by Rob Bishop and you'd get an ex player or two come in. It was alright actually. You'd get a pint quick enough and a pie. It's the sort of thing they should keep on and make it a reasonable price. Last I heard it was £50 for the season so it's a shame if its gone up. I got in via a draw using my reward points.
They now have Bar 1874 available on the website for the Everton game at £15.00  I'm sure they would do better if they gave a bit more detail about it though.

I assume they'll sell Terrace View on a game by game basis in a similar way.  To be honest with the two free pints, programme etc, I wouldn't be surprised if there's a reasonable number of takers on an occasional basis at 25 quid.

I believe so.  And having checked the tickets on sale at £15.00 are for guests of 1874 members - so not on general sale.

They clearly used the extra disability seats as an excuse to hack away at the back of the Holte for the Terrace view.

Future will see disability seats moved (north stand) an an executive platform for padded seats at the back of the Holte

Everything the club is doing off the pitch is sickening.

Oh fuck off with your hyperbole. It's irritating, it's annoying, it's frustrating, its a round of fucks to be given at an FCG, it's all normal things like that. It's not Unit 731.

One thing Unit 731 had over the VP catering operation: at least their victims didn't have to queue to receive something that'd boil their guts from the inside.

None of the 300,000 killed in human experimentation ever had to drink a can of Monster either. So when you put it like that, we're actually worse than the Imperial Japanese Army. Makes you sick.

I fully back the statement by the Supporters Trust. Sadly and for some bizzare reason it seems People don't like the simple truth.

Look at the state of the Holte End, instead of putting glass walls in try refreshing the seats , they're all fading it looks a right mess.

Bring back the T !
As someone pointed out, we had to look at half of an A for years and even now it looks pathetic
