From my days as a steward I remember they don't count evacuation onto the pitch and into other stands, it's all about clearing the stands to outside the stadium.

Mr Meadows Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 3 hours ago, owl-zat said: Have you not read the millions of posts about this issue? The capacity of the North Stand has been reduced due to safety issues which relates to the speed a stand can be evacuated. It is therefore necessary to not sell block T as this accounts for most of the amount of seats we cannot sell. You'll then notice a few odd seats dotted around the stand which nobody is sitting / standing next to and these are taken off sale to make up the rest of the amount of seats we cannot sell. Am aware of it, i just buy it... wasnt an issue before the inquest.. so what's the fairytale, sorry I mean reason for not selling AA in the south then your excellency!

There isnt a valid reason , same as with the end block in the North . Its just SAG and Plod trying to keep home and away fans as far away from each other as possible because they are incapable of policing a football match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if there was a fire I'm sure I could get out of the north and onto leppings lane quicker than I could get out of Newcastles away end too! I sit at the back, middle of the North. If there is a fire there is a weird, Hobbit sized door at the top of the stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle will have the allocation they were given and be grateful for it. Hopefully we will do the same next season for the Sheffield Derby if we don't go up.

farlego Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Stick the band in the lower leppings lane end. Get the kop singing on its own and the band drowning out the geordies. Win win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamworthowl Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I'd put the band in the NW corner on their own. The North-standers would edge away from that end. The away fans would migrate towards the South. The result would be the fans voluntarily Maximising the area of segregation without sag having to do or say anything.

Maybe it's time summat was mentioned to the club, I have written to the club in the past and I get the response from em that I'm in the minority.

Maybe you should write back informing that it is mainly kids and families that like the band, so the band should be moved to the grandstand. Not ideal, but better than being on the kop or north.

No reason why EVERY seat cannot be sold. It seems SAG have relented a bit to let us do this and people still whinge about in instead of saying it's great news and if all goes well maybe they will relax things a little more but obviously if there is trouble at the game then they'll tighten restrictions again.
