    I never said that they differ, I said there are no bad views, which there aren't, it's down to personal preference where you sit, I don't get why some fans are threatening to quit if they get moved, did they quit when they left Boothferry Park? Maybe some did I wouldn't know.

    If you go to some away grounds, like Everton in particular, or Liverpool or many many other grounds the views are shocking, even parts of Wembley in the gods are bad.

    Allam is a **** for doing this scheme, it stinks, but it makes sense to shut upper west because our crowd attendance is ****, I won't stop going because I'm a Hull City supporter, and the Allams will **** off one day, and then some other dodgy bastard will buy us and it will all start again.

    As someone told me the other day, it's a pity Bruce Lee doesn't pay a visit, not the Kung fu expert either

    You are catching on Chazz. Though it was all apparent from reading the initial statements. Ehab doesn't see why anyone should be sat next to somebody who may have paid less.

    There's a rejoining fee of £50 each, which would mean you'd save pretty much nothing, you'd just lose your seat.

    I think they need to review the pricing structure to reduce all those moves.

    I can't help thinking that Allam is more concerned with pissing the fans off, than he is with trying to get promotion, after their apparent refusal to allow Bruce to sign Gray etc. God knows why that would be the case though.

    I also wonder how long it will be before they say "Well if the FA had allowed us the name change we would have invested more in new players."

    BP was mostly all standing so that doesn't apply! And you can't tell me behind the goal is a better view then down the sides! I know there isn't a crap view but there's good & very good!

    You'd only lose your seat if the demand was there. We'd save £30 even with the £50 fee.

    There's only two months with no games, you'd save naff all really, the £50 probably only applies to the cheapest zone anyway (they're not completely stupid).

    Its nothing to do with the pricing structure. Its the zonal definitions. Once you're old enough you're evicted out of the family stand together with your mother or father.

    Zone 1 is for the people who currently have a concession.

    It'll be interesting to see what the police say when they're told N5 is likely to be be filled with 13 to 22 year olds.

    Like I said, only if there's a flat £50 rejoining fee for all zones.

    When we applied to host a World Cup game in 1966, losing out to Hillsborough by one vote, outside Wembley only Hillsborough and Goodison had more seats. Although by the time of the competition Old Trafford did as dwell.

    These schemes rely on continued membership. As well as a rejoining fee, Obi, you have seats near mine so, this is what may happen, you will pay £414 (£34..50 x 12) to join this year, next year you may get a loyalty bonus, that reduces your membership to say £396 (£33 x12). Leave and next years membership may cost £424 + £50 £474 (£39..50) plus I bet that you will only be able to get the dearest zone as well.

    Chazz, the details of the family ticketing are not released yet, but I suspect that there will be ad hoc packages, that will accommodate that, but juniors will only get into the family stand.

    By the way, I do not know the details of the scheme other than what has been published.

    Not too sure about that olm. When we have read and heard in the past, the **** that they have come out with you have to question their integrity.

    Interesting way to run a football business. Reduce the price for your most loyal customers year after year after year whilst the cost of players goes up and up and up. Like I said the success of the membership scheme is based on Premier League football and the millions from the TV. The longer we are reliant on diminishing parachute payments the more we rely on income from supporters.

    That can't be right surely. You'll be able to take a junior into any part of the ground - it's just that the price you pay for him/her will be different in the family stand.

    Wouldn't wish to speak for olm but would suggest that their lack of integrity doesn't necessarily equate with their stupidity.

    They will have had expensive accountants all over these numbers. When the full facts come out I think it unlikely that they would leave much of a loophole for many people to get through.

    While integrity is worth little you don't get to such a position of power and wealth by being financially stupid.
