I've actually made a decision not to renew my West Stand Library season ticket next year. Some of you will no doubt have seen my comments about the cost which faces me each year (c. £1600/year to watch the Albion), and recently two fans who have sat behind me since the first game of the Amex...
The blatant dive in our area, and subsequent sending off, whilst awarding Blackburn a third successive penalty was, for me, the final straw. Barnes Out!
I think I've already mentioned that the current cost for me to attend all the league home games from London (with my season ticket) cost me just shy of £1400. If they put the prices up, I'll be giving up my seat, and buying a ticket to games I want to see.

And this is part of the problem. Whoever has complained will get their way and the two behind me, as well as, in all likelihood, me, will get moved to the North Stand whether we want to or not, and the person who has complained will get the West Stand Library they wanted.
If however they were...

You say you have kids in the WSL, is this through choice, or were there not enough seats in the family stand?
We have 3xSeason tickets in the WSL and have a healthy "loud" passion for the albion as well as a number of those who sit behind us. We join in most chants, and even at times will try and start our own.
This season it appears that at least one of our "fellow" (and I use this term loosely)...
