sitting room only
 

With the clayton end closed tomorrow and the cowshed,it will seem strange just having fans on two sides

Re: sitting room only
 

Who says the Clayton End's closed???

Re: sitting room only
 

Hopefully all the checks and certificates can be sorted today so the Clayton End can be open tomorrow.

Re: sitting room only
 

When purchasing my ticket today I was informed that it was unlikly to be open but I would not be charged the full stand price to sit in the main stand

Re: sitting room only
 

:eek::confused: thought you could still stand up in the clayton end,behind the seats.thought that was the idear of having the seats in front :confused:

Re: sitting room only
 

:) You guests from the standing arear hadn't better nick my seat :D:)

Re: sitting room only
 

well i bought a ticket yesterday and it says Hollands pies (south/whinney hill (west) away support

So if we have to sit guess i could go in the away end!

Re: sitting room only
 

Im going in the clayton end whatever, no sitting for me :cool: :enough:

Re: sitting room only
 

The club must have known this was going to happen we should have got the Coppice End for the last home game of the season, what a joke.

Re: sitting room only
 

WTF!! Just checked fishy site as i thought surely not another clanger by the club, but alas im totally confused:

As a season ticket holder for the clayton end terrace, does the above statement mean i will get entry to the clayton end???? & what is the whinney hill terrace north section???

Baffled red me :confused:

Re: sitting room only
 

It should be closed because of the work being done there. I would have thought the CDM regulation would apply while fitting those new seats. I suspect all the volunteers wont be insured if they hurt themselves or each other either.

Re: sitting room only
 

seems to me,like a case of left until the last min n sod yas.:rolleyes: been ample time to get job completed.:rolleyes:

Re: sitting room only
 

Who knows? But if I can't stand in the ground then I will stand at the bar in the Oaklea or another drinking establishment for 90 minutes.

I know the building work has to be done blah blah blah but why was it left to the 11th hour, I know the weather has been a factor, the whinney hill could easily have been closed after the Bradford game and the work done and dusted so it all could have been used for when the Clayton had to be closed :confused::confused::confused:

Re: sitting room only
 

All the sh*t that has gone on this week has left a nasty taste going into the closed season this just puts the icing on the cake.

Re: sitting room only
 

I payed for my ticket on tuesday for the clayton end terrace and will be going in there! Thats what i payed for!:enough:

Re: sitting room only
 

Thats what I am wondering :confused: It's about as clear as mud!!! Can't believe that we have been give so much notice, thought they might have waited until tomorrow..:rolleyes:

Re: sitting room only
 

If you have a standing season ticket, you can stand in the north section of the Whinney Hill terrace... cow sheds.

If you have no season ticket but wish to stand, buy a ticket to do so (in the store before 1pm, ticket office thereafter).

Simple innit?

Re: sitting room only
 

What a mess. I'm not using my season ticket anyway as I can't bring myself to watch with you know who playing.
It's the Three Peaks Race for me; watching, not running unfortunately!

Re: sitting room only
 

What is it with the club & upsetting the fans [regulars loyal] certainly on close of season what are they playing at or is there something more afoot??

Re: sitting room only
 

Clayton end is shut, they have taken some seats back out of the whinney hill home side to allow anyone who normally stands in the clayton end to stand in the whinney hill terrace,

The club wanted to open the clayton end with the seats covered with netting but this has been refused so they have worked hard to allow us to stand elsewhere.


just slide those daggers back into your pockets

Re: sitting room only
 

Nope, cos only put up on fishy site over an hour ago less than 2 when people have bought their tickets before hand for the clayton end!

Re: sitting room only
 

yawn....

Re: sitting room only
 

Tired timmi:D

Where are the ultras gonna disco then?

Re: sitting room only
 

You can probably use pre-purchased Clayton End tickets for the cow sheds. This information should've been included in the piece, but it is probably implied (or inferred? Can never remember the difference).

The people at the club have been dealing with officials from all over the gaff today trying to get the Clayton End open so it's unfair to have a go, imho.

Re: sitting room only
 

Why? How long have the club known these extra seats needed to be fitted, 2 seasons? What have they done about it? They've done nothing but bury their heads in the sand, hoping the matter would go away. As usual they have left things till the last minute and deserve all the flak they are getting.

Re: sitting room only
 

i wondered why my ticket didnt say clayton end! All makes sense now! I dont care am in another stand its only for 90mins aint it! Not for 20 games or so! Roll on tomorrow cant wait! Lets all have a party

Re: sitting room only
 

Thanks yerself - exactly the point, whats unfair is red tinted glasses:rolleyes:

Re: sitting room only
 

Where will "The Ultras" be standing???

Re: sitting room only
 

Must admit I was a bit confused about the message on the fishy site re: season tickets will be admitted to the area their ticket has been issued for... Oh well its only the last game I will just follow the crowd :D plus I can't stand in Lesley spot anymore anyway (stupid football league and their stupid seating policy grrr) so it will seem odd no matter where I end up :rolleyes:

But I do need a roof...just had my hair done :p and it's forecast rain

Re: sitting room only
 

LOL i asked that an all :D

Re: sitting room only
 

My ticket says the Sophia Khan north terrace. Is that not the Clayton End, I probably should know?

Re: sitting room only
 

Yes thats right! My ticket says away end so looks like will have fans everywhere!

Re: sitting room only
 

So, what happens if the Cow Shed (North)'s full when I pitch up? How will my place be "guaranteed"?

Re: sitting room only
 

Wondering the same thing myself? Maybe you will have to nip down and camp out!!

Re: sitting room only
 

Quite the opposite, Val...I'll be turning up at my usual time of 2.55 (after liquid refreshment in the Oak Lea with other chaps). If it is full, then I'll be returning to that excellent hostelry with all due speed. Never sat down at a Stanley home match in 49 years and don't intend to start now!

Re: sitting room only
 

Good on you mate! You could always ask the houses at the back if you could stand on the fence for 90mins :D and it would save you few quid aswell.

Re: sitting room only
 

Can not argue with that Wynonie :D Nice move..

Re: sitting room only
 

well i'm going the cricket stuff em.

Re: sitting room only
 

Well, there's no way I'm sitting in that stand. Won't be depriving the club of money, as I've already paid for the match with my season ticket (apart from my quid for a draw ticket but I'll give Liz two quid at the first home match of next season to make up for it).

Re: sitting room only
 

So let me get this right.
I have a season ticket saying Sophia Khan Stand , does this mean i can go into the Cowshed? or will i be told nope you will have to go in the mainstand?

Just confused a little :S

Re: sitting room only
 

I think everyone is and will only find out whats happening tomorrow

Re: sitting room only
 

But don't forget dear friend, you really can meet the best people 'sitting in the stands !'...
Alfred.E. wouldn't be seen dead anywhere else !!...so I have to be there too !!..

Re: sitting room only
 

awkward or thick...the line gets thinner and thinner...

Re: sitting room only
 

Just think that people like to know whats going on - routine and that - it would have been nice to have been pre-empted of the situation thats all. You know the score -club,fans,communication..... :eek::):)

Re: sitting room only
 

I know this all seems a bit of a nightmare and I know I haven't had the best of weeks but lets put this into a little bit of context....

Please note this is only my opinion

The seats have been done last minute I think for a couple of reasons..firstly cost and maybe seeing if there were any grants to help out there and waiting for the seats to be available but has anyone thought it might also be cos they wanted to avoid what is happening right now earlier in the season and maybe losing fans for the rest of the season... they could have held on to try to keep fans in their normal places for as long as possible!

one thing I have to re-interate is the club had NO choice in putting the seats in and yes I don't like how they have gone in either but I do know that a lot of thought has gone into the best way to do it.

REMEMBER THE CLUB HAVE NOT CLOSED THE CLAYTON END - LCC HAVE

Re: sitting room only
 

Well, John, if "awkward" means criticising my club when I feel they are going about things the wrong way, then, yes, guilty as charged.

As for "thick", you could well be right, but I wasn't aware that you had to reach a certain IQ level to be a Stanley fan.

I still reckon all this could have been handled a lot better, if the club had spent more time over the last three years considering how to address this problem and I didn't enjoy standing on the Cowshed side one bit today (apart from the great view of the wondergoal!).

However, it's happened, the seats are going in and I will say no more on the subject! :)

Re: sitting room only
 

I didn't enjoy the cow shed today either, won't ever be in there again.

Re: sitting room only
 

As much as I hate the way councils at local and county level operate I think thats stretching it :D

Re: sitting room only
 

Posted via Mobile Device.however i felt, in response to shakermakers post, which initially happened, i couldnt get into the cowshed nor see anything of the footy but heads of fans, i went with a few to the main stand. Where i sat then made it a hard 1st half to watch & enjoy the match. 2nd half whilst finding familiar friendly faces to which i then sat with, shaker proved his point & i enjoyed the match & viewing enjoyable. Main stand DO make loud noises too, i was surprised & felt at home, thanks accymad n family for adopting me.

Re: sitting room only
 

Posted via Mobile Device. Another point as for the cowshed, think mick shultz n co, did do their level best to accommodate standing to the max possible otherwise it would of been just that corner only & rest of ya would of have to be seated in main stand to a squish. The desicion was out of his hands & did the best to make do with what space he was allowed, which meant taking the new seats out to have to put back in again for one game disruption limitation.
