Offside Posted May 10, 2022 Report Share Posted May 10, 2022 12K so far is really good considering the tough season we’ve had. Hopefully we’ll shift a few more too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant effort considering the last few seasons & the current cost of living crisis. Don’t laugh, they sold 3400 ST for last season, of course they are massive, though. Would have loved to have seen how your views on the effectiveness of Linesman would have translated to the hushed corners of the Lansdown 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PA system is a little clearer although it’s not crystal clear which is disappointing considering that it’s a new stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually bloody loud - so much so that it's difficult to hold a conversation over the pre match music. I'm deaf in one ear too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play to the 12k……hopefully exceed last seasons 13.5k now Yeh, I mean in terms of pounds into the Club's coffers ST sales have basically averaged about £3m over the past few seasons. Sometimes it's been £2.7m, sometimes £3.2m, but basically £3m. This will be about the same. A small price rise, maybe a couple of hundred less sales. It'll come out to just under £3m I expect. The more the merrier but ultimately the difference between 12K and 13.5K sold is about £300,000. Aka £6,000 a week, or enough to cover one player's wages. A decent wedge but not a huge amount when you're losing £30m(ish) a year. Edited May 10, 2022 by ExiledAjax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 On 09/05/2022 at 11:07, 1960maaan said: One other thing to add in, the "newer" stands should have a little more leg room. When we moved from Dolman to Lansdown , some mates moved back into the Dolman upper bit. Cheaper, but even as a shortarse I find the legroom a bit restricting. The Southstand should have a little more room and the view further back is decent. My ST was two rows from the back in S21 and the view is very good. Space-wise though it was still a bit of a squeeze (I am a fat bastard though) but the leg room isn`t too bad and I was only three seats from an aisle. The bloody steps though! Going down and back at HT for a fag seriously made me consider giving up smoking! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
