Correct.

So ring the club or visit the shop - don't whinge like a 5-year-old on Facebook.

It would probably have been better not to segregate the North Stand which it had never been before, especially with the price differential being only £10. I am sure Vastman will know the reasoning behind the change.

It has been mentioned before on this forum, the council health and safety policies dictated a maximum number of fans in the North Stand Covered area, I believe in the region of 1500 fans, this the reason for segregation, the uncovered section of North Terrace also has a similar capacity
Why is it so difficult for some people to understand this?

You're really asking the £64 million question there DS....
Or maybe they are just a bit dim....

This a good example of a previous issue similar to the recent one. I heard that last seasons segregation/limitation was for health and safety so, without any other believable rumour, took that as true. End of story.
This year the storyline has changed at least three times "supposedly" even from the club shop people!
Many now know the rules come the season but I bet plenty out there are still on rumour 1 or 2.

I fully understand and don't give a flying

I’m assuming it’s because now the upper North stand is enclosed whereas before the complete stand was open, it’ll be something to do with emptying the stand in an emergency

The very ‘fans’ we’re referring to are the ones who will expect e whitewash in the championship and it is not going to happen!
Don’t worry they’ll be out with the venom if we lose a couple on the bounce- and that could well happen!

I read a fair few times last season that the fans were to blame for accepting mediocrity, now you're criticising fans for not accepting it!

Yes but give them some time to bed in, Ellis and his team have a huge job on their hands. So I can’t agree with you just yet. Come back in a years time.
