rudemedic Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 You would hope they'd contact all those who were season tickets in the old Broadway stand first. They might get a few lapsed fans back.The club at one time said this was going to be how it was, then again they also advertised last year's home shirt as being valid for this season.

BP1960. Yes the new toilet facilities should be a step in the right direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Priority in the new stand should be given to people who attend more away games and those who travel long distance, followed by those with ticket stubs from 1965 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latics_Fanatic Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Hope the RRE end stays open to home fans when the new stand is opened. Somehow i doubt it though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and a tie breaker would be, do you have a green programme to commemorate the floodlight switch on when first built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaticsPete Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 (edited) No, priority to those who bought their seats from the Lookers when it was about to be demolished . We can bolt them in to the new structure. Edited December 2, 2013 by LaticsPete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely, if their friends are small, they should only be entitled to sit in these special seats if they have a specified number of ticket stubs/commemorative programmes (excluding 'Celebration Sunday'), thereby justifying their priority over very tall people.

mikeroyboy Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 The tie breaker is way too easy, everyone has one of those. What about Bradford P. A. 2nd round FA Cup, 7th Dec 1963 with proof of ownership being - how much did it cost to go to QPR with Billy Barlow the following week? I am sure it would be of interest to all that our average Division 3 home attendance for the first 13 games of that season was 15,205, to clarify I repeat, 15,205. this of course is when the working class could afford to go and a little fat bloke in a number 8 shirt was entertaining us.

LaticMark Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Better to trust the same man who, as part of the joint venture with Simon Corney and Ian Hill, was responsible for the erection of houses behind the Chaddy End, as the best way forward for developing BP and to ensure that all the profits from the sale of properties assists in the funding for the stadium development.

It's like the Race Classification Board all over again. Each tall person should have at least 3 super-seats near him or her so that they can enjoy comfy knees and the company of friends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Burns Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I doubt you'll be able to sit in the main stand - I'd bet on it being razed within 6 months of the new one being opened This has been up for over a day without anybody pointing out the obvious.

Dave_Og Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 So what you are saying is that the main stand can never be closed/redeveoloped? Hmmm. If i remeber rightly one of the reasons the ford stand went was because of high maintenance cists. Well you ain't telling me the main stand doesn't need a bit more than a lick of paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
