archiecat Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I bet there were more people in the RRE than the Chaddy End that night, though. Didn't look like it to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stargazer Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 The club have plenty of time to hold their hands up and say sorry it was a poorly thought out idea ,alienating some customers(sorry fans) who would have expected to be able to sit in the RRE with their RRE season ticket when a club visits with a miniscule following ...............not holding my breath though.

Season Ticket holders paid their money nearly a year ago. Club doesn't give a :censored: about them for another 12 months until they go on sale again. Then we'll get Corney coming out saying we need fans etc etc. How about treat your existing customers right before you appeal to others. Shockingly, I'm thinking of getting a Season Ticket again next season, after not having one for two years, must be mad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave_ragg1984 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Bit of a piss take closing the RRE though. It's almost like they don't care about pissing fans off... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveoafc Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 As others have said, get the product on the pitch right and the better atmosphere will follow. Get the players putting in 100% and having a real go and the fans ,as always ,will respond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More sparsely populated than I thought, feels like there is more people in there when you're sat there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the club plan on not keeping the RRE open for home fans next season then I can see them regretting this decision. But no doubt fans will be warned of how the (playing) budget is going to be reduced for next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No :censored:'s given about ST holders now, but in 8 weeks we'll all be bombarded by the appeal for money and as you said how we'll have a reduced budget etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daniel Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 This club just gets worse year on year, im amazed at this decision! Weve got 3 stands, 2 of them are pretty poor lets be honest, 1 of them is pretty good, where do away fans sit? Oh yes the good stand! Piss takers!

rudemedic Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 No doubt the "man of the people" © Pine Villains will be along shortly to explain how this has been discussed with the fans and Johnson supports it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Guru Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) Yet another example of people cutting the cloth and dressing it up as an opportunity to improve the atmosphere! They really will go to every means to make a few quid. Like people have said the product on offer is getting :censored:tier by the week...I wouldn't go to BP if it was £10 entry at the moment the whole experience is depressing and the treatment of fans stinks. Improve the product/match day experience if you want fans to get excited. Edited March 17, 2014 by Blue_Guru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewBlue Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 How is this a trial? It happens every time we play a big team and the atmosphere is :censored:. God knows what it'll be like against Crawley. The 'trial' should be all Chaddy fans in RRE. That's what fans want and that's a meaningful experiment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc-latics Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Hold on.. When Johnson was asking fans on twitter, people were saying the club should trial it. The club are now trialing it. What have they done wrong this time? They should trial Chaddy fans in the RRE as well before the end of the season, but I can't see a lot wrong with trying to improve the atmosphere and/or taking fan feedback on board.

yarddog73 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 At the risk of keep repeating myself, the trial has been done before when the Chaddy was shut for Anglo-Italian and Paint Pot games. tried for a couple of piss pot trophy games with no crowd there wont be many there saturday but they could of give it a go in a league game, either that or free entry for everyone to 'celebrate' Corneys 10 years at the club.

NewBlue Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) How do you work that out? Or do the opinions of fans who sit in the Chaddy End not count?The poll on this board showed an overwhelming preference for all fans in the RRE. Do the opinions of fans in the RRE not count? Also, why trial something that has happened about 4 times already this season? Edited March 17, 2014 by NewBlue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
