HLR Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 There were rumblings of this being the case - whether this is correct or not is an entirely different matter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar BS3 Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 I'm sure the prices were due to be announced last Monday but the club are rightly looking into where best to house the standing section before they can confirm prices. They aren't due on sale for another 3 weeks anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my understanding too, I'm sure DL read out something about the 22nd Feb at the Ipswich game, but since then it's has all blown up about the singers being moved to the Dolman and after this didn't go down too well it's all gone quiet.

Was this reason for this because general consensus was a move to Dolman wasn't fancied or was it because of health and safety etc? Any word on when club are to release ST info, considering we now know they have binned off idea of moving singers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dollymarie Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 The Atyeo lot wanted to remain in that area and the club have taken that on board. Announcement should be imminent - I hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that and understand why the Atyeo crew would therefore want to stay where they are. It's just a shame that we're not having the one independent stand given over to away fans, with the three connected stands with shared concourse entirely given to home fans. This would have seemed like the neatest and most obvious solution. It would also prevent any need for segregation. But I see both sides on this one.

mightyreds89 Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Shame the Ateyo guys want stay there, a move to the Dolman stand end block ( that's connects to SS would have been a good move as there are a decent number of singers in SS developing so that really would have joined up the 2 stands to create one big atmosphere.

As pointed out the alternatives were never thoroughly examined. That examination should have been part of the promised consultation years ago. Fans in the Atyeo have taken a pragmatic view, which will inconvenience nobody. That is respectful. The ground design will not be compromised by City fans being present in that stand. The Atyeo Pub if it becomes a reality, and if it is truly fan led will enhance the stadium because it is an opportunity to do something very different. The Atyeo Pub if it becomes a reality and is accessible to others will be supported by fans outside of the Atyeo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The design compromise comes if away fans are now to be housed in another stand, thus creating a need for segregation and breaking up the concourse. If they are still to be housed in the Atyeo, then I agree it's fairly inconsequential. I'm not against home fans staying in the Atyeo, it just doesn't seem like the obvious solution when you have three connected stands and one independent one.

Away fans will remain in the Atyeo, as will a section of City fans. It is the obvious solution. A very obvious one which will not inconvenience fans in other stands. Any other option would HAVE to inconvenience fellow fans / probably cause resentment. The Atyeo could still be connected in a flexible form to the Dolman. That would be an attraction to fans in the Dolman if the pub becomes a reality. The facilities in the Dolman concourse fail to impress quite a few.

Welcome To The Jungle Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 So a few atyeo st holders will still have to move due to the lower capacity in that section right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natchfever Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 I find it a bit odd that some people on here want to give away fans more space than they are entitled to.

A fair few (quite possibly running into 100s) will move anyway due to space freeing up in the SS and new West Stand, so I don't think it'll be an issue.

City fan 1982 Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 im in the atyeo, i would have no problem giving the away fans the whole end, easier segregation, plenty of teams, would bring 3/ 4 k to the gate, villa, leeds, wednesday,birmingham, sunderland, etc, in an era we need to make every pound we can, it seems strange to turn down possibly, thousands of paying customers ? when there are thousands of empty seats dotted around the ground.

Sixtyseconds Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 The Atyeo lot took one look in the Dolman at the crap queues for a cider and wanted to remain in the Atyeo and the club have taken that on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciderup Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 I can see the better supported away teams having fans all over the place next season. No offence to those in the Atyeo but it's a shocking idea to split it with 23,000 home seats to fill. I really hope this doesn't come to cause problems in the adjoined stands.

To be honest, if it routes out the outdated cavemen who can't cope with a fan of a different team that sounds like a massive yet unexpected bonus.

I agree with the sentiment BCR but I have an issue if said away supporter / cavemen are sat next to my 13 year old when they should have the whole detatched stand but the club are pandering to the minority, as usual. Disgraceful decision IMO. The club have royally ballsed this up, not the supporters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
