Happy days

I've had a phone call off a lad in the ticket office today as our 3 tickets are in the first 800 to be moved. He said it's his job to do anything to keep us happy.
I asked for an exec box and free away tickets. #Bantz.
I know its got to be put somewhere, but putting it in a section where the cheapest season tickets are is a piss take. They really wont be happy until all the working class have been priced out.
I think they should move the family stand and executive facilities over to K. Move the 'singing' section into the Stretty and have rail seating in the lower section. Then make it so the whole of the stretty has a cap of 30 a ticket max. That way we might get a bit of atmosphere back.

this is about helping people with disabilities, united wont make more money out of this until the stadium is expanded.

The working class for the most part are priced out or have a kodi stick and don't give a £#%&!

Who said they would make any money out of it? I'm all for helping them. I'd even push their wheelchair into the section if it meant I could keep my seat.
The point is that there's plenty of other places it could have been put. Why pick on us scrubbers? Also how shite is it going to look? It's hardly going to inspire the team/intimidate the opposition when they're attacking that end is it?

I might be joining them next year.

£#%&! me there are some right scouse types on here, offended by anything and everything. The points that Ziggy has made are fair enough IMO. It has nothing to do with being anti disabled or taking the piss out of the unfortunate or thinking that they are not deserving of a seat in the ground.

FWIW my niece is wheelchair bound and goes home and away supporting Crystal Palace
She refuses to sit in the disabled section at home matches and where she can get away with it she will sit with the able bodied supporters for away games too. My brother has to carry his 17 year old daughter up flights of stairs at Selhurst Park so she gets the full experience she wants.
She loves being in the middle of the atmosphere generated by the able bodied supporters and thinks the disabled\wheelchair sections have no atmosphere.......her words not mine before the PC brigade start crying.

Lets be honest that design being proposed looks shite, it will kill any atmosphere that is still in K Stand. Instead why cant they take one or two rows of seats out along the front of the SAF and Main Stands and convert them to a wheelchair and carer seating? It would have little impact if any on the atmosphere. The disabled supporters would then not feel so segregated and part of the crowd and they have less chance of being leathered in the head with the ball. Being behind the goal is not the most practical solution for someone that can barely move.

More likely me and Steve would batter Irk senseless.

Regarding extra seating for disabled people: slippery slope. (for a quicker exit).

is there any genuine plans to expand the stadium again?

Yeah. South stand will be raised up and quadrants filled in so its the same all the way round

Surely percentage of OT given over to disabled supporters should represent the % of the population that's disabled

Atmosphere is bad enough at OT at the moment and it's only going to get worse by the looks of it

If the percentage of OT given over to disabled seating reflected the percentage of the population that's disabled they'd be putting over 15,000 seats in.
