North Stand

Bailes said:
Yesterday was just rubbing salt into an already open wound for many of us. Season ticket holders in the North Stand have been particularly treated terribly by the club they love. Not just the fact our seats were given to that lot but also the communication by the club was awful, then the phase 2 leftover ticket allocation and then the black cats bar redecoration was the final straw.

I will not renew my season ticket in that stand again and will move elsewhere. I suggest others consider this too. Fans there have been treated appallingly by the club. Made to feel that they don’t give a shite about us. Never felt this angry towards the club in my life. Totally let down

To be fair I think you have a great idea and have found the best way to send a message to the club. Not just because of yesterday, as I actually think their hands were tied due to where they generally house away fans, but also the other issues of away fans chucking stuff other the top etc.

As well as the general communication they have an awful lot to learn from yesterday and it’s probably good that it’s come to a head.

It’s refreshing to see a constructive post on the issues instead of all the dummy spitting and the childish “thats me never going back” posts.

I’d strongly recommend you post something like this nearer renewal day and it would maybe good if the RAWA rep can get a general feel for this intent before their next meeting to push the club into doing something about it before it’s too late and they see an empty stand. Can’t remember who they are so can’t link them to the post.

Having away fans downstairs defo brought on the other parts of the ground, like NEC & NWC with fans standing and roaring on the players

Atmosphere generated from all parts of the ground was good to see instead of just a few blocks at the back of the south stand

They should be in the South and
The North a proper two tiered home end.

Clubs who sell season tickets in areas which could be moved for Cup matches should clearly state this when it's bought at the beginning of the season. Nothing like this exists for NS card holders.

Agree, or better still just pay match by match then the club cannot mess you about like they have done with many SC holders this week.

Need to move the away fans back to the south stand, like the stadium was designed for. Get rid of this daft idea of the “roker end” and have the seats next to it as match day sales only. It can be scaled up too. It worked when Hartlepool brought 9000. Bring back SWC corner as the most partisan area……
It’s such a shame there’s been short term gain appeasing nufc for a one off game. Although it may have been a bit money spinner, it should be considered against the longer impact of displeasuring the core fanbase.
Sadly just like Ballard did, the club have scored an own goal.

With how pissed off people are with the club at the moment displacing 3,000 fans is probably the worst thing they could do.

Yeah but we were playing them twice a season then. You’ve got to go back until the 30s for a longer period of time without playing them

Where do you sit every match pal ? Had your season ticket long ? Wonder how you would have reacted had it been your season ticket. How you would have reacted had the club treated you like shit?

I'm on the fence whether to renew at all, that's how much it's impacted me. Newcastle fans were getting exclusive f***ing gifts for buying BCB tickets man. And what do I get for pouring hundreds into the club every season , not just a one off like those idiot Newcastle fans ? I get absolutely fuck all. I get kicked out of my seat, I get fuck all in way of an apology, no way or compensation. Just absolutely nothing.

Sorry I tell a lie, if I wanted to sit in a £36 seat I would've got a £4 discount. Massive.

The caring club that looks after it's fans. Shameful

But you’ve got to balance that against the amount they’ve pissed off moving people out the north stand for Newcastle or future events

Or getting missiles chucked down from above

This is probably controversal but could they block up the Black Cats bar windows pitch side, move the away fans in the North Stand lower and move the BCB back in the upper tier where it always was. Every other corporate area doesn't have pitch side windows and the place is due a refurb anyway. The blinds are down all game anyway so it's not like it would be the end of the world.

Would end these threads for once and for all. Anyone in the North Stand lower with a season ticket, can get their current ticket price for a set period anywhere else in the ground as compensation.

They shouldn't get prime seats behind the goal in the NS, and they should be moved into the NE corner if anywhere down in the lower tier.

I Wonder if any of the NS seats are checked for mag graffiti, stickers etc???

You would hope the club aren’t stupid enough to not clean it. There’ll be hundreds of stickers all over the north stand and it’ll be a further insult to fans if mag stickers are still there against Hull.

That Pearson dickhead was posting stuff yesterday and someone had gobbed all over a couple of the seats.
