Family Block

Why can't we book seats for the family block online like every other block. Far easier than having to buy/collect on the day.

Why can't we have a family stand in place of the Bishop Shed.

JR in this week’s programme says they are looking at the Bishop Street stand as a safe standing area if EFL sides get the go ahead to introduce safe standing.
Those accustomed to privilege may feel that equality is oppression.

I meant to link this into a thread when the announcement was made.

It’s the obvious solution.

It is, the only slight issue is if the stand is also used as overflow for away fans you'd either have to split the stand or move the families. I don't really care to be honest, as long as something gets done!

Toilets could form a barrier to the north stand or catering.
I'm sure the bucket for the old north stand toilets must be about somewhere for drainage..

Don't forget we need a couple of deck chairs and a fishing brolley for the comms team.

Putting a barrier in is something that’s easily planned. It happened at Swindon the other week. Food dispensary across the concourse with two openings and a gate between and sufficient separation on the terrace too. Easy

With the constant persecution from our SAG it will be far from easy :lol:

Just like we used to have in the 'away' end (prior to SAG intervening) that was part of the original design of the stadium and allowed us to accommodate home and away fans in there, with separate toilets and food outlets, if the away team only brought a small allocation.
As long as we remember not to put a wooden door that can be easily kicked open between the 2 sets of toilets everything will be fine !!
