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. :oops:


I have a mouth of a sailor and I have already been told off at a game a couple of seasons back for calling the ref a Ladybit. That was in the East Stand. To which I said there is a family stand if you prefer and she just tutted, but alas no such luck yesterday. But again, can't you see that it is a money saving exercise. Group the 2k crowd together less overheads. All of what we do at the moment is money driven.


Maybe I am a terrible parent, but I really don't get the issue with kids hearing swear words. Its all about educating them not to use them and them knowing they are 'adult' words. Although, the whole idea around a word being offensive is a little odd, the world is just not ready to hear a child swearing in context though.


That's a fair point on adult words and that was what I did. However just opening one block of CR which already appeared to have some family members in would saved me the bother.

I was going to go but chose not to as there were no seats left near the back in the 3 blocks showing on the website. So no £12 from me.

Well they did this last time didn't they? I can't say I'm surprised and of course it's down to stewarding costs.
Actually it was interesting to see a game ('low down') from the half way line instead of the cowshed.]
Alas I found myself with rather too many of the yoof beside me.
Old fart....yes. Hands up to that. See Socrates ;)

One next to me came back after h/t looking like he'd taken some bad acid or/and couldn't handle whatever other 'stuff' he'd taken. He didn't watch the game at all after that and was either looking at his phone upside down :lol: or trying to call someone and failing. I did wonder whether to ask 'are you ok mate?' but decided against it.

The others around him/me were vaping (which doesn't bother me even if it shouldn't happen in a stadium) and eventually a steward appeared and told them to stop.

Whatever happened to good old honest beer? :oops: (Sigh).

As I say, see Socrates.

Think we got lucky with the Stevenage game in the cup.
