Killed any atmosphere for the FA Cup game and will do the same for this. Due to facing just empty seats, it makes you feel like you’re in a completely empty stadium, but you do you Pete.


Hopefuĺly Pete will splash the cash on two hugh banners.


Not sure i’ve heard of us signing a Hugh

Let’s be honest Winkelman is an absolute fucking clown. I’ve just watched his video with the ridiculous logic that moving me from my preferred seat in Club Red will somehow turn me into a drum-beating, shirt clad, leader of the choir! The man is an idiot. Worse than that he’s an utter liar as this decision has nothing to do with atmosphere and everything to do with cost-cutting and TV optics vanity.

He’s happy to take my money for my Club Red season ticket and then treats me like shit for the biggest game of the season. I know I’m massively over-reacting, and have already bought two tickets in the East Stand, but this repeated awful attitude towards fans does it for me. I’ll continue to support but I’ll do it from the comfort of my living room in future and PW can fuck right off.


Crawley town are a right old tin pot outfit. Bought their way into the League on dodgy money anyway. Imagine doing all this just to try and gain an advantage over them. They'll be no end of people who don't go anyway because it's too late for their kids on a school night for starters.

Managed to secure our normal seats in the East Stand, whether the other regulars around us will I don’t know, it’s a bit of a pig in a poke idea really, but Pete’s logic works differently to anybody else’s

This post was more about the club seeing it and revising their policy as towards player comps, tbh. With, what’s expected to be, a very limited allocation at Crawley, sacrifices need to be made. After all, fans are making sacrifices in terms of their usual allocated seats for the home leg. “Bring The Noise” should not include Chardonnay.

I completely agree in principle - I just don't think it'll realistically make any difference.


The issue with this is that Players comps (IIRC 2 per player) are part of the EFL regulations so it's not in the clubs gift to amend these. All it can do is "request" that players don't take up their allocation. To put it into context we aren't talking about big numbers here, from what understand there were 30 tickets in this category issued for the Notts County game.

Fair point. But with a figure as small as suggested, that's about 5% of the whole allocation, which is quite a lot relatively speaking.

Another Club disaster decision to close Club Red/West Stand for the home play off leg. East Stand and Cowshed lower bowl open only on a first come first served basis for season ticket holders so, if you have season ticket in block 11 or east stand you are not guaranteed you season ticket seat.

We’re us this so called supporters board repenting supporters interest?

Shocking decision and own goal by the club.


It’s because the TV cameras point towards the East Stand, pack that out and the ground looks almost full.

There’s plenty of room for anyone who wants to go


This.....at least it may head off some of the 'empty bowl' rubbish from other fans when it's on SKY


Since when have we cared what others think

The cameras aren't fixed, nor are they in one place. It will look way worse on tv.


Doesn't the SKY set up require a lot of infrastructure on the stadium and this is fixed? Not sure it's as simple as moving a few cameras


Fixed as is pointing in one direction. Winky’s “logic” only works if the cameras only point directly at the East stand or the cowshed. When they pan round they’ll show big empty areas.

My seat has been sold to somebody else. Will just watch it on the telly.

Went to nine away games this season though so will try to get a ticket for the first leg. With the exception of Tooting, we are usually made a lot more welcome away than we are at home anyway.
