Yeah, you're right...it might frighten the snoozing folks in the West to get new fans in.

What 'consultations'? Do you believe the Allams would invite the fans/representatives/HCST to consultations?
Eh?
I'm sorry to ask, but have you actually read any of my posts?
Erm...yes.
When you refer to 'transition', I took you to mean transition from Allams to new owners; in which case any new owners must be aware that there will be a change/changes in what they are acquiring. To be aware of this, they would need to be informed by some party - would that be the Allams? The actual points of disagreement which fans want cleared up would not be told to them by the Allams, and if the latter wouldn't countenance anyone 'telling them how to run their business', just WHEN/WHERE in the takeover process might this enlightenment happen?
At £10.95 a game it is a serious bargain for adults, I would be willing to pay an extra 5% so that children's tickets can be reduced by 5% to meet the 10% criteria for concessions.
Then I might start attending again, because it's **** and boring not going.

That reads like someone from the club who hasn't a ****ing clue asking for help.
First of all nothing is going to change whilst the Allams are in charge, they were offered an alternative to the membership scheme by the HCST. there are plenty of other football clubs who have a perfectly good ticketing system how about taking a look at those, a blind man and his dog can see where they are going wrong, and any new owner could correct most things in a good mornings work if they so desire. I really don't see the point of this thread.
"I took you to mean transition from Allams to new owner"
I didn't I was referring to a transition from one scheme to another. Would I expect consultation on this...yes, That is in part the reason for my posting the OP. Proposals may well have been made in the past, but as far as I can see, no one has asked the supporters, what they would find acceptable. It seems that suggestions have been made, but the scheme is in place now and I have no idea what supporters would make of wholesale changes that could increase the costs for the majority. I believe that most would want to see the return of concessions, but I do not know what percentage would actually support having to pay more themselves.
I also do not know how a return to using the West Stand Upper would be managed.
It doesn't require wholesale changes, simply repricing with concessions reintroduced, there's not actually anything wrong with a membership based system, it's actually a decent idea (some will moan about price increases, but I think most accept that the adult prices are too cheap).
The Upper West is even easier, just allow people to return to the seats they've traditionally sat in.
It would mean that the majority would pay more, how much is acceptable? Will the headlines reading "New owners raise prices to fund concessions" actually meet with universal approval?
Only one poster has tried to actually answer the question. How many complaints were there about how seat moves are managed, did you think the move from the East Stand to North Stand was done well or were the views of some of those affected ignored, because after all moving seats is easy isn't it.
As an example, Huddersfield's prices are - Adult + Senior £199, £79 8 to 17 years old and £29 for under-8s, at those prices I don't think there'd be any complaints (they're headline figures, there's premium options, fees for new pass-holders etc and they're limited to 17,000 passes, but it's what most pay.
All of the seat moves we've done have been very poorly managed, because we're utterly hopeless at pretty much everything, but that doesn't change the fact that allowing West Upper pass-holders their original seats back is easy, as it affects no-one else.
The evictions from East Stand we’re handled appallingly
I don’t see why any of this would need forced seat moves though? Just change the prices depending on concession status?
Because the owners aren't willing to sell.
I can't understand why so many people believe the Allams on this.
So instead of all the bollocks that you spout, why not just say that you think the above?
You say that the seat move would be easy, but admit that it has not been manged well before. Personally, I do not think it will be as easy as you think as under the changes in personal data use, the club may not have records of seat numbers on file, before this season, it is not information that they need to keep. They might have, but who knows what records are held and for how long.
PLT, I wasn't implying for a second that I believe the fork tongued twats.
Just that if someone wanted to buy the club, they may have to speculate to accumulate.
The longer this continues, the less chance of us returning to where the money is (for an owner) and the greater the chance the club is even more ****ed, and the calibre of likely owners (and come to that, managers and players) is likely to plummet further.
I used to sit in the West Stand Upper, then had to move to the North Stand and have moved within the North Stand this season. Would a free for all, first come first served, work or should supporters who used to sit in the WSU have first pick?
Erm...I'm not sure what I said to warrant that response.
But **** off with your **** thread, you daft fat ****.
