@Cack Stottie look at you standing out from Joe Bloggs for having a podcast and supporting the club and team ;)

Ignore this numpty mate. Plenty of people out there who like to do nothing and moan about those who actually step forward.

He hasn't "stepped forward". He's been invited in with the rest of the hangers on

This is Roker Report who accepted and continue to accept all sorts of freebies from the club. Forgotten the Donald days which should have finished that site?

Always have their snout in there, without the integrity to decline as they're used as useful idiots. This is all well known

Successive ownership groups have done this with RR. Would have hoped KLD and his top team had a bit more about them

They are doing a podcast with likely a couple thousand listeners man. He was invited along with many others due to loyalty points, not being a podcaster. He’s hardly Angela rayner is he….

Yep, there is no structural changes to the plans, its the same as North Stand apart from extra rows of seats. The rear elevation detail will be submitted as an amendment to the original approved plans. Nothing major. The North Stand Extension plans changed several times after it was approved.

It's significantly different to the north stand extension as there's a ground floor level concourse extending below the extension.. It's very similar to the original north stand extension plans though.

Wouldn't go as I know the type who'll be there

There's thousands of fans invest their money, time, lives to this club who would love to contribute

So, what do they do? Get the Roker Report lad and his mates in. Am certain WMS, ALS and RAWA will have had the same invite

Cross section of fans from across the spectrum my backside

And I'm the one getting stick for describing exactly how these things work

Put that in the WhatsApp group there mate as am not the only one sees what goes on

So you’re kicking off about who goes, you get invited and say no then kick off again. Brilliant stuff

The club want to form a group that's ran and led mainly by fans who go home and away. They invited many of the fans who have the highest number of black cats points, they invited fan groups, and ourselves. They told us to get the word out to people who might be interested in attending the meetings to have input. So it's open to all. I've invited you twice now but you've already decided you know better. You'd never turn up anyways because people like you prefer to sit back and moan and talk shite instead of getting involved and making their voice matter.

The invite is there. Get yourself along as you may genuinely be able to have some input into making the experience better.

Send me a WhatsApp then if you know who I am. My number is right there live in the WhatsApp group yet strangely you haven't yet. Message me the invite while you're at it

A focus group of fans populated by blog writers. RR aren't a "fan group" at all mate. Just a content website. There are no members and we represent no one but our own views

Drop the Billy Big Cheese routine and minor club access with perks you hoard for yourself and perhaps you'd generate a touch of respect

“We represent our own views”

Suspecting this is more to do with an upset RR writer here…. Trouble in paradise?

How do you know hes not got loads of loyalty points and wasn't just invited as a fan, ie fuck all to do with RR?

He said the club contacted him personally and I know for a fact he's made an open invite to all RR writers

Pointles repeating myself if no one read the content and have turned into something about me rather than the topic
 
Our corporate issues will only really be addressed properly if we do the east stand and whack a load of boxes in.

That’s a big opportunity in itself and relatively cheap to do based on our architecture.

The bigger and better more expensive job is to build a steeper kop end on the south stand- I’d also personally look to move the stokoe statue and have an outdoor fan area there, only accessible with a match ticket that would alleviate the concourse problems in the south and east stands - would also allow the smokers a proper place to fag.

They could invest in a permant cover for the seats in the lower deck, like they had during the covid closures, and at least these would protect the seats in between matches and preserve the colour.
They could also replace the red seats with white in the bottom section of the North, East and South and keep red above the gangway.

I’ve always wondered about white seats at football grounds

Leeds, Spurs, Preston, Fulham, Bolton, MK Dons, Derby, Tranmere all have blue or black seats.

Most cricket grounds have white seats.

Something to do with being able to see the ball clearly? Is there an actual regulation in place about it?

Looking today at the above the ground is not really going to look complete until we have extended all the way round !I really hope im around long enough to see the day that safc is successful enough to finally complete the stadium..... and what a sight it will be!

Brentford have different coloured seats mixed together, mainly because they feared not being able to sell out and this layout makes the gaps far less obvious.

what if there is a person in the seat?surely that negates the seeing the ball bollocks!.its always about the money..white coloured plastic seats take a longest for the colour to fade in the sun and even then it barely noticeable so they last the longest without needing changing....red and black seats are probably the worst for fading and look awful when on mass when they dont have a bum on it!.

.Of course if you you can buy good quality seats that will last a long time before fading bu that comes at a premium but they all fade eventually (just compare the seats that Bain replaced to the ones the spivs bought and you can see the quality difference)

My personal opinion is the white seats look awful in the corners ..but in reality it doesnt matter for fans if bums are on seats ...What does matter in my opinion though if we are trying to attract top notch players to safc and showing them around the empty ground (usually in the summer)and the ground looks dilapidated because of the presence of shabby seats it sorta doesn't give a good impression to prospective players.

I dont know how you solve the problem as all plastic fades! ....either going to the expense of covering the seats when not in use (i doubt thats an option as where would you store the covers when not in use and the cost involved) using only white seats ?(it will look awful) or perhaps dont have huge block of one colour but have a haphazard dotted pattern of white seats ,black seats and red seats and even blue (away colours)in that way the fading wont look so bad!

One thing is for sure it aint a high priority but how our ground looks is important but i personally wont lose any sleep over it!
