Quote from: Ads on May 23, 2024, 08:07:59 PMElite 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.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.

Absolutely livid .

I dont think you understand what marginal gains means.I don't think you can read . Your grammar is also poor . I said there are better ways to achieve such marginal gains without shitting in your own bed .
It doesn't matter what we think. I'm happy where my club is now. I'm going to watch Champions League football next season. The cost of that is 5% more on my ticket, I can't spread out on the lower deck of the Upper Holte anymore and for me that's it. For others it's being uprooted, being denied their usual drinking spot. If that was the price, I'd have paid it years ago personally.
I get that people are upset. I would be too if I lost my seat. But what do people expect? We all want to compete and progress, how did people think this would happen?If we’d built the North, a few thousand would have had to move. Possibly more as it included revamping the Trinity offer too.If we moved stadium everyone would have to move.Yes, it’s disappointing for those moving and yes as a wider issue the modern game stinks. But I saw more happier faces at the Villa this season than I’ve seen for a long time. Is the club doing this pretty modest reconfiguration really too much of a price to pay?
