Terrible idea.
Trying to avoid coming across as a massive crowd moaner, but given I fully understand the fact that everyone's football experience is different it seems grouping all of our sections together is a bit daft.
Why they can't open CR and the Family stand given people were in there anyway is a little disappointing. Would have certainly spared me having to come up with a few excuses as to what people mean about people being under the floor or in a box to an inquisitive 5 year old.
It's not a problem away as thanks to unreserved seating you can take an educated guess as to where will be appropriate to seat with young ones. Yesterday we were kind of stuck.
Just open up a little more if at home for Round 2 please Pete.
PS - Dan I know you will be laughing at this post after Newport 2016.
Simple answers: saving cost of staff on the gates and the cost more stewards to cover those areas. Saving opening up concessions and staff required.
The people in CR would probably have been match sponsors and guests. I would guess that they had to go to Pitchside Bar (upstairs) to get a drink. Not sure about Family Corner, but assume people just moved across there to spread out. Possibly for the same reasons as you mention. The “fans” behind the goals are either. Academy lads collecting errant shots into Row Z or Analyst Staff looking at how we engage with the high press.
