Folks reckon these are the unold seats for the Terrace View and Lower Grounds





I did wonder if that was the case when I saw those blocks of empty seats.  There was a rumour going round that the families and guests of the players had been invited to use it as there weren't many tickets sold for it.

All members of the FAB were invited +1. We all turned it down.

I think it will be more popular for games against some of the more "glamorous" sides but those blocks of empty seats looked terrible today. I don't think it will put the likes of Heck off from his brief though. There will be more of this sort of thing to come.

Is the "sit behind the bench experience" going to be a real thing or just a bit light hearted guesswork?

I’d expect it to be a reality as it was in the plans submitted to the council for the new stand and Trinity refurb.

I’m watching the tnt replay, they basically did a massive advert for the terrace view at the start, how the hell did the club persuade them to do that?

The Terrance view, was that done on Purslow's watch?

Yes.  It’s just a lounge in the Holte concourse so far, with randomly located seats. If that’s all it stays then I’ll learn to live with it.  If they bring in padded seats, that’s when I’ll start swinging.
