SAG has to answer to the HSE and there are specific requirements to comply with. Providing SWFC do there job, we should get a reasonable outcome. The authorities position of simply banning SWFC fans from LL is clearly a nonsense and disproportionate. We need to 'take back control' of our ground and arrangements, providing we manage them effectively. I do agree with you on the 4-side issue. However, I'm old enough to have seen SWFC fans on all four sides even with 10000/15000 in the ground and it was ok. Clearly then the signing fans were concentrated in the middle of the kop and LL end. The North periodically rocked up with the lengthy rendition of 'Wednesday', but was more than not silent like the south - save for throwing cushions at the lino we he had a mare. I too have stood on the LL end. but with the stigma attached to hillsborough, and especially the LL end, no body of people are going to endorse anything against any safety measure enforced upon the club in that particular area. that area of the ground on a semi-final match day was responsible for such overcrowding, and crushing that the gates were opened in an attempt to 'relieve' the situation outside the ground, we all know the outcome. only one clubs supporters were there at the time, you've advocating there be 2 sets of supporters allowed into the same area now, i'm afraid it's not the late 50's or early 60's, and never will be again.

Swansea was £36 on the kop, £39 in the grandstand and £43 in the south stand. Leeds was £39 kop, £42 grandstand, £46 south stand. What sort of crowds and atmosphere do you think the club is expecting when they set these prices? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far too expensive especially against one of least attractive clubs in this league. Christmas coming up didn't help either. I doubt we'll get many more v Bristol being live on sky though I've not seen prices, might get a few more against Cardiff and v Hull. Might be a good idea to have a deal on for 3 home games coming up over Christmas, buy a ticket for two of games and get one of other games free.

And yet it was used for semi-finals; final replays and big SWFC games for over a decade after 89. I suggest if it wasn't for the on-going inquiries and media coverage throughout the 2000s I don't think we'd be subject to the ongoing intense and unfair attention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anlaby Owl Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 I suppose the real marker for how expensive it is, is the prices charged by other clubs. I have other interests aside from football and the price overall between them is about the same as football. I can't really stretch my finances to any of these at the moment but that doesn't mean that football is expensive, it just means my disposable income is nearly none existent. When i was a teenager and didn't have a mortgage, bills etc, it was comparatively much greater. Mine won't be a popular opinion but personally, although prohibitive for me, i don't think the prices at hilsborough are significantly greater than in 1990 when you think the price of a pint was about 80p.

tom Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Didn’t we try this when Rob/ Go-For-It-Owl tried to create an ultras supporters group? People on here gave him some right stick - but he seemed like the only bloke to try and get something going. His idea was great though - to create a really good atmosphere, a bit like the away games or other teams that have some kind of ultras mentality in the U.K (York/Palace). Where I currently live, the local hockey team has a huge ultras section. They sing for 60 minutes straight and creates a Proper good buzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't a problem in the days before the band. They e been here that long now that the jobs foooked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We'llNeverBeMastered Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Most other clubs in this league stand up behind one goal, not us though. I'd absolutely love for the kop to be stood up all game every game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was £30 for non members. How many members do we have? I’d be surprised if it’s more than a thousand. If we’re looking to get the atmosphere and crowds back you need to look past the prices for season tickets and members or it’s just the same 22k home fans at every game. The newest stand with the best facilities is the south stand. So why don’t we use it’s full capacity? We price the south stand like we don’t actually want to fill it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
