    It still absolutely blows my mind that we've had to shut half a stand. It could easily be filled with old people and kids, perhaps with some sort of discount.

    So have they reduced the away end on the basis that the Upper West is permanently shut, so the 10% rule applies and the away allocation only needs to be 2,000?

    Ballsy move when they start opening Upper West for big games. Unless they intend to keep it shut come what may.

    3000 or 10% of capacity, whichever is lower.

    Astonishing? Well, yes it would be astonishing until you remember which club we are talking about and who is in charge. Sadly in this context it then becomes quite normal really.

    I can see a lot moving out of the corners into the north stand.

    Or moving out of the ground alrtogether!

    It's astonishing how badly we are run. If this was a business that had to report to shareholders (other than themselves) they'd have been kicked out about 5 or 6 times by now

    Upper West won't be needed regardless of how we do.
    There's no way we will get enough home fans to attend regardless.

    Three seasons out of the last four in the Pl, the shareholders would be pretty happy with that compared to leeds sheff wed sheff u boro etc etc shareholders I imagine.

    Not sure why you're picking those teams - only Boro bears comparison and I'd be much more comfortable with their Chairman than our VC

    Just examples.
    Would their shareholders be happy with him after years in the championship they were terrible in the pl and went straight back down. Unhappy shareholders I'd say.

    I'm sure the shareholders of Grimsby Town and Scunthorpe United would take it as well. Although none of these teams are ones the shareholders would be comparing us to. Bournemouth, Leicester City, Southampton, Burnley, Stoke City and Watford would be the teams they would be looking at as examples and, I would say, on that basis they'd be unhappy.

    I'd rather have shares in boro with Gibson in charge, you'd rather have shares in Hull City Tigers with Ehab in charge - horses for courses

    So would boro shareholders then and he's held up as the best chairman around.
    You could also say with the resources behind five of those clubs we aren't anywhere near them to compete with.
