It’ll be very interesting to see where this additional 800 seats is going to be shoehorned into VP next summer, and the impact it’ll have on what is already diabolical GA facilities and service levels. That said, if we finish out of the places for Europe and haven’t won the FA Cup, he may not bother.

A home draw in the FA Cup will be a tough sell too.

Obviously the owners were happy to sign off on the new North Stand and surrounding area under Purslow's tenure. What we don't know is whose idea it was to rip and all that up and cancel the expansion. My strong suspicion is that it was Heck's idea that they went along with.

Nailed on. He would have known his job in the short term was harder with that going ahead (and it wasn't his plan, which he'd have hated).

If this was happening we'd at least be advancing the club off the field. As it's not happening it now feels like all progress/mometnum has stalled.

I would be very surprised if we qualify for Europe for next season and, the FA Cup, forget it. A lot of the supporters were saying we have bigger fish to fry and Emery will not go for it either. Quite what he wants to go for I really don’t know as our most realistic chance of a trophy would have been the League Cup but we chucked that one away.
Heck will need to increase prices for the knock out stage of the CL to about a grand per ordinary ticket if he wants to get his bonus!! Sounds daft as people would moan about it but still scramble for tickets.

Rinsing loyal fans constantly with ticket hikes isn't going to be so easy if the club makes itself comfortable back in the bottom half.

Let's hope for Heck's sake this is only a fleeting visit.

Just seen the prices for the Brighton game.  More expensive than anticipated for that match.

My God, that is truly shocking.

Let’s hope he steps up, to make good this terrible injustice.

Are we blaming the 5 heart attacks on our insistence on playing out from the back?

A little unrelated but does someone know if Lee Preece is still the Supporter Liaison Officer, we tried email Chris Heck in October with a request and no response. We heard that Lee might have moved on but if someone could confirm?

What makes you think it's Heck's fault?

My God, that is truly shocking.
The key words being..
"They wouldnt be able to re sell the ticket"
No words can describe how bad this is..
