    I'm 65 in June so i'll qualify for the concessions but i'm still not interested until they've ****ed off then ****ed off again.

    I admire you’re trust in them to not do anything bizarre
    I might agree with you if it had only been the image, but it’s clear in the narrative as well.
    Also I don’t think it can be an image from 2011 anyway as it shows E1 as being unavailable for home fans and I thought home fans were in E1 in 2011?

    It is enough that the people know there was an election.
    The people who cast the votes decide nothing.
    The people who count the votes decide everything.

    Read the words PLT, read the words.
    It’s a classic loaded Allam survey choice.

    On Sunday I was in the South stand then walked over to the East for the second half.
    I cannot see that option listed.

    But again, that would make perfect sense if it just referred to the change back to the price bands of East/West/South/Family West/whatever rather than actually changing the location of the away fans. Surely there would be logistical challenges to doing such a thing anyway. The SAG would probably have to approve it. That's not to say it's impossible, it's happened before of course, but it really doesn't seem like something that might or might not happen depending on the outcome of an unrelated vote and would need as much notice as possible.

    You’re making the mistake of applying common sense, thinking and logic to Allam actions. You’ve been around long enough to know that’s not how they operate.

    My hope is that option B is the choice.

    But if that turns out to be he case, I hope some lessons have been learned and this time around somebody who actually knows what they're talking about gets involved and listens to and helps those directly or indirectly affected.

    No. It really is just a general consideration, but one I felt worth flagging up early. If the club are genuine about accepting the vote, and if it involves a move, it is an opportunity for fans to work with the club to try and minimise any difficulties that the transition could bring.

    You hit the nail on the head, my feeling is that even if they bring concessions back unless they go, you won't see a vast improvement with attendances. People are just fed up with their dictatorial attitude.

    Notice?!?!?
    Do you not remember last time?!
    SAG would be fine with the move. It’s back to what it was before and I think they’ve left E1 showing as the away end in option B so that they can leave it unsold and have it as a gap between home and away fans, this meaning the reduced number of home fans have to be slightly closer together.
    The vote isn’t unrelated to the seat move at all. If option B was selected then for some games (TWS next year and Blunts the year after for example) they’d know they’d get more away fans in and that will have been figured into their calculations for income.

    Trust me PLT. Option B includes having the whole North stand as the away end.

    In schools, there’s a behaviour strategy where if a child is refusing to do the work that you want doing, you give them two options to choose from (where both options ultimately end up with them doing what you originally wanted but they feel like because they got to choose, they’re more willing to do it).

    This kinda feels like that. People are refusing to attend so they’re saying, you either do what I (Ehab) want with the membership scheme but it’s a bit cheaper or you can have concessions but a whole stand has to move again and one of the stands ends up more expensive in most circumstances. Either way he gets what he wants - more money and a membership-style system in tact.

    Bang on
    Plus he can either say that he’s listened to fans and reintroduced concessions, safe in the knowledge that he’s been able to **** his vocal opponents about yet again, or that fans agree with him that the current scheme is the best thing (or that yet again not enough people care enough to vote anyway)

    I go with my family, but all ten of us are adults. (4 brothers and sisters and 6 in-laws). Do we count or is family always including sprogs?

    Despite the article being headed 'Members - Have Your Say...', the letter from Ehab being addressed to 'valued members' and the vote page saying 'you must be a current member', it seems you don't.

    Anyone with a customer number can vote.

    Fill your boots.
