what you're missing is that lots of people don't want this either. There will be no like-for-like swap for anyone moving from block E - all the best seats in the other blocks will be taken and groups or friends/families that purposely sit together in block E will not be able to get a similarly decent group of seats in another block. That is the massive point you are missing or just don't care about and don't understand that it will turn some longtime fans off of the club and not bother going any more after being hounded out. You might feel ok about losing a few old fans that don't make any noise, but they've earned their right to sit where they want until they decide not to or until CPFC make a decision on the whole of the lower Holmesdale when the new stand is complete. For the record, I'd love an all singing and (in time) all standing section, but not at the cost of losing old boys and girls that have been going since long before most of the HF were born.

It’ll be those with more recent season ticket start dates who might be disappointed. Those long termers won’t.

Plenty go to get involved. There’s no atmosphere to get involved with. They’re not a circus act but the driving force for thousands of fans to get involved with. Like it or not, that’s how football atmosphere works now. They’ve proven it.

You do talk a lot of s*** don’t you, Rudi. It’s the typical ploy of yours to have a go and have a go and have a go again. And when someone lays out their opinions for you in detail and on a plate and you’ve got nothing left to sling, you resort to baseless childishness.

Lots of people claimed it in the Arthur at the time because it was happening. I’ve looked back on my old posts and mentioned it and no one seemed to bat an eyelid.

Do try to debate like an adult with people who disagree with you for once in your life. Stop being pedantic and attempting to take tiny segments of people’s statement of opinions in an attempt to disregard their broader point.

You know exactly what mine is, if you disagree with it fine, but do it like a functioning adult instead of a 4 year old.

Not sure if its already been posted but the HF have put a statement up on social media which suggests the club have given them the green light from next season to start a singing section from the back of E. It says if you're interested contact the club box office to claim your seat.

Bloody great news as far as I'm concerned. I'll get my season ticket back as a result if I can get in (doubtful as down the pecking order).

If it goes ahead, this will be an amazing thing for the club. I don't think its particularly fair to move people from their long term seats but it's quite clearly for the greater good. Those inconvenienced should be given a free season ticket.

The CLUB (not him personally) was losing 2m a year of which Parish was liable for 25% of. Please get facts correct.
Plus They had a maximum ceiling figure they were willing to put in before calling it a day and selling up which they'd be able to do because they had the freehold of the ground to entice any new owner.
As it turned out, we got promoted and all losses were covered. Then the Americans came along and paid handsomely to help shoulder the financial burden. They did very well. And good luck to them.
Lets not over dramatise or exaggerate Parish's personal risks in his role though eh?
