mildatheart67 Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Yes Back in the 80s to the ground capacity was 50,174. We had more seats ( 23,000) than any other ground that was part of the reason we got semi finals 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the SAG and the Police...other forces seem to be able to cope with 10 seat rows of plastic seating and a line of stewards even in Glasgow...so why not here. Our gobby 15 year olds are just that, although great a pointing and unable to cross some invisible line that stops them dead. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The leppings lane end should have been bulldozed and rebuilt a fresh and better equipped. Instead chairman after chairman has failed to invest in the infrastructure of the club. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The traffic restrictions started on Penistone Rd, the switch of game to silly days and times if other team in south yorkshire were also at home. Now we will always get treated differently. You wait till the club apply for a safe standing area. Like Man Utd, Liverpool and many other already have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S6owls Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Anyone else having problems buying the tickets ?

Kevowls1 Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Great set of supporters the Geordies! It will be nice to see a busy, rowdy away end. We complain about the atmosphere at Hillsborough, but it's not surprising when there's 300 Forest Green fans and the like. Big away followings make the atmosphere so much better and the game more exciting. Of course safety is needed, but a it just feels overkill by SAG sometimes, and in some ways it's spoiling the experience of football. There needs to be consistency with SAG decision making nationally. Each game and stadium's different but on the face of it rules and decision making don't look the same. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t think of any other ground with as much segregation. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
