I’m interested to see what the consensus on here is to this question. Last Season, the club adopted a policy of allowing Away Supporters much bigger allocations… This was obviously good for revenue and it also boosted our attendance numbers and saw the ground full and buzzing.
In the aftermath of a defeat against Derby I seem to recall and during a pretty challenging season, it was a point picked up by Raggy in his ‘chat’ to the players and something many of us objected to at the time…. SS immediately responded to his ‘most vocal’ members of his customer base and curtailing the numbers moving forward.
Personally having reflected on it,…. I think it was a bit (well actually a lot) shortsighted on the part of us supporters.
I do think (in an ideal world) you might choose to position the Away Supporters differently… Ideally not the full length of one side, but nonetheless I think it’s in our best interests to get the ground packed and revenue maximised wherever possible…. And it’s on our supporters to out-do any vocal away following!!
However the main reason I’m asking the question, is that the ability to capitalise on bigger away followings (at least in the shorter term) may well have an impact on the viability of the East Stand and the scale of the development.
Interested in your views as well as choice in the Poll..
