Why upset double the amount of fans? That does not seem a sensible option to me.

Royal Fleet It is a lesser inconvenience on many, as oppose to a larger inconvenience on a few.

Royal Fleet I know that STAR have been requested/required to keep quiet on the options that are being considered, but what has been said leads me to believe that the option of moving everyone back 10 rows is not being considered, which is disappointing.
As one of those moving, I do not want to have the option of all those new seats, because they are much further back than I sit at present. Most people who are in that area are because they want to be on the half way line, so all that will happen is that they will pick the same seat again, only much further from the pitch.
Please could STAR suggest this option to the club. I for one would rather forego any compensation on offer to retain a better seat. I appreciate that it would be more logistics to move all of those people in those seats unaffected back, but as has been mentioned already you are talking about a large number of the most loyal fans.

STAR Campaigns Surely giving people who have to move the first choice of new seats means that they can go to where they like? They can choose to move 10 rows back (or fewer) if that's what they want

Wycombe Royal Are you suggesting then that they could pick a current ST holders seat as that area is probably around 90% STH's.
Star So surely a move to any free seat from thousands .

Royal Fleet I will not have the option to move 10 rows backs as there is already a row of existing season ticket holders there. If you assume that it is rows U to FF affected then those from row U would have to move to row LL (present stand ends at KK) - that is something like 18 rows back - or twice the distance they are at present.

No, of course not. Anyone who has to move will have the pick of all empty seats. Around 6,000 new ones in the new East Stand, plus any that haven't been renewed by existing ST holders.

But, again, I'll ask the question, why should we flatly object to moving fans as a point of principle??
My starting point is that I'd expect the supporters trust to represent the supporters views. If you took a vote of those affected 99% of those would object to it. Is it unreasonable to assume that STAR would represent those views?
Wow! That's a massive generalisation that you've come out with based on zero concrete evidence whatsoever!
Personally, I think that the best option is to let the club work out exactly how many people might be affected if this happens, and to see what the club actually offer them as compensation.
I think that only when people have actually heard what the club are asking them to do will in a position to make be informed judgement and decide whether or not they object to it.

Symposium However, I appreciate that either of those options might not be preferable to some people. But ANYTHING the club does will have people in favour, and people against.

until something more concrete is proposed, there's no point getting over excited about it.

by the time concrete plans are made there is nothing you can do to object, if they really are building a nice club for supporters it doesn't really need a view of the pitch does it?

THese areas need an attractive view - people aren't going to pay a lot of money for a view of B&Q. And also it more the location of the seats that leads on to the view the area provides. People paying extra money are going to want a central location in the stand, hence why this area has been chosen.

Symposium As one of those who is affected (at least, according to the initial plans on show), I'm happy to wait to see what is suggested by the club. I'm also happy that the club are looking for ways to increase choice to supporters, whilst maximising revenue for the club.
I'd be very interested in a new "lounge" or "club"-style facility... the concern would be the cost, but if that doesn't fit in with my budget, I just won't go for it. I'd also be interested having a seat in the extension, as I've got lots of friends all over the East Stand who have got season tickets at different times... it would be nice to "consolidate" to one row/block of seats.
However, I appreciate that either of those options might not be preferable to some people. But ANYTHING the club does will have people in favour, and people against. All the club can seek to do is be fair. From what we're hearing from STAR Campaigns, I believe they're doing that. As has already been said, until something more concrete is proposed, there's no point getting over excited about it.
