Season Tickets

Elite sport is about marginal gains anywhere you can find them. The difference between us and Fulham is a few 0.1% here and there, on and off the pitch. It's why improvement can be tough and it's why Heck will be able to say he's done a good job. As the business will be turning over £300m next season.

Are people who aren’t able to renew in the same place being offered alternatives, displacing others or currently non ST seats?
If they lose ST rights it’s a disgrace but if it’s a forced move surely it’s non STH who are really losing out as the number of available and affordable tickets is reducing.

They're still season ticket holders, they'll just be sat elsewhere.

The response to this on SHA.
"Hope you're all ready for it to be us in a couple of years..." was countered with
"I can’t imagine they would charge those prices in a 62,000 seater stadium."

I'm laughing at something there but can't decide which part.

But there are people who have sat in the same seat for years, by the same people who are now getting moved because someone will pay considerably more than them. I get why they're a tad miffed

I do too. I wouldn't like to move either.

I’ve sat in my seat, which I like, for the grand total of 5 seasons. It’s a good seat I like the view , it’s close enough to the Holte to get the atmos but provides a wonderful view of how the team is set up and playing. If I get moved, yes a slight annoyance but I’ll get a choice of elsewhere possibly close by which I’m sure will be fine. There are quite honestly more important things to worry about in life. Then again I might not be affected so <insouciant French shrug>.

I've now seen someone evicted in North End Lower, Block R2:

Weird isn’t it, those in R1 and 2 blue M 1and 2, both sides of away fans for premium seating or is that just filling in corner work would you day ?

[London Villan]

I'd be gutted to move (I have no doubt it will happen) - I'm lucky to have a brilliant seat on the half-way line, behind the dugout. It adds to the whole experience being so close to the benches. Add to that, I've sat in that seat since the stand was built and in the Trinity for 40+ years in total. Being moved to a seat in the wings of the stand would change the whole matchday experience - let alone lose the relationships with the people that have grown to be friends.

Modern football is rubbish at times.

M1 and M2 doesn't surprise me because they are near the halfway line, but R1 and R2 is a surprise, unless they are right in front of where the new Terrace view is going to replace the boxes.

Several people seem to have been told that behind the dugout is safe.  People are being kicked out of places you wouldn't necessarily have predicted.

[Des Little]

Well so far, A5 seems out of scope…for now anyway…

[London Villan]

Yep, we got the news today we aren't being kicked out this season, but our seats were on the approved plans to be upgraded. So it's only a matter a time over the next few years.

The rumours are the boxes are being ripped out and the space reconfigured - which would make sense if fans in the back rows of the Lower Witton and R black are being evicted.

Not on the pitch. The difference is a lot more than 0.1%
As for 900 ST holders moving for new middle class fans from Barnt Green / Claverdon / Dorridge etc , there were easier ways to make such a tiny gain rather than piss all over the loyal fans . It's a wanky move and Heck and the owners can go fuck themselves on this one , and Terrace View butchering the Holte.
