EMBARASSING !

Sun Mar 04, 2012 10:52 pm

After having 30+ thousand at Wembley last weekend, i was expecting a full house today. PLASTICS :evil:
I am sorry but the Family Stand is an utter joke , the empty seats every week is embarrasing especially as we were on tv and had less than full stand. They need to wipe all of the Family stand season tickets and make them all buy new ones to get rid of these spare seats !
The club should have said to all non season ticket holders then they have to buy a West Ham home ticket as well at a cheaper price.
People walking out at 75 minutes as well, really ? What better do you have to do , yes i understand it was a poor performance but its the same people every week.

I went to Wembley, I did not go to West Ham, does that make me a plastic?
I've also been to Barnsley and Millwall this season, but I'm still a plastic?
I can't go to every game, neither my Dad nor me can afford to, but I'm still a plastic?
It's a Sunday lunchtime, and I live in London, but i'm still a plastic?
Watch what you label people mate, we can't all go to every game.

Something really must be done about the Family Stand though.

I Bloodly hate threads like this....

Lemme ask you this, if we got promoted and the Malaysians increased the capacity to 30000, would you call the 7000 extra people who attend the stadium next season plastic, or would you just say, we are progressing as a club.

Everyone who went to Wembley is a potential season ticket holder in my eyes! If dinosaurs for fans labelled everyone a plastic for getting on the bluebird bandwagon we'd be screwed, would you be happy to see crowds of 2000, the 2000 who watched the bluebirds in the lower tier of the football league? Get over yourself and move on

Onwards and upwards we say.....rant over.

Sick of the family stand getting the blame for peceived low attendences on this forum. Anybody would think that football is onloy there for single men under the age of 25 listening to some of the crap posted here. From where I sit there were gaps in every stand yesterday and nowhere near as many leaving after the second goal as there were from the Ninian or Canton Stands. At the old NP, I watched the city from every stand buying tickets on match days, but in order to be able to afford to take my kids to every game, the family stand is the only option as its a great deal for season tickets for us. Give the kids a break - a lot of them are there week in week out and my boys have done seven aways with me this season with Bristol to come next week and have done a similar number for the two seasons that they have been going regularly. Try looking at the reasons why so many "loyal supporters" failed to turn up elsewhere in the ground yesterday instead of sniping at the fans who will be the future income source for the club and who aren't necessarily platsic because they miss the odd game - family life impacts what they may be able to do. Personally,I thought a a crowd of almost 24,000 was pretty good given the expense involved in watching the city at the moment and the fact it was on TV.

i sit in the family stand,and i have posted myself that seats next to me have yet to be sat in,not this season but since the stadium opened,and if they up the price how many people with children wouldnt renew,and remember the children are the future income of the club.

they are not the future if they are not attending.

put the price up to 100.00 real city fans shouldnt mind paying
that for their kids and then they might not miss so many games gaving forked out the money.

also family stand should be moved to ine end of the lower grandstand.

i think the club should be contacting parents of children who have not activated a card after so many games,your idea in these economic times are just not thought out,why should those that attend have to pay for those that do not,if i cant go to a game because of work,then my ex takes the children for me,its not the familys that attend that need to pay more,its the people that dont attend

because as stated above,they are the future,the arguement is not what is paid,it is about who turns up,the club dont need to punish those that go,its the ones who dont show....simple really isnt it.....and as for the kids should pay.....have a look how many children at the city or in the team i coach wear city kits,look at the bigger picture

i have got three kids, two of them go to every home game. My youngest doesent always come down but it is her choice, she is always asked if she want to go down but offten doesnt want to. But on the other hand i wouldnd care if the season tickets was £11 or £500 i would still get her a ticket whatever.
