[Albion] Fan in the stand - £20 east upper

[sparkie]

Why upper? Are they selling the lower to advertisers?

The PL controls what happens with the lowers as part of the TV arrangement; the club has discretion as to how they use the uppers.

 

[monty uk]

How are they going to remove them all on 85 minutes ?

And will the whole row have to stand up to let someone out to beat the queue for the bar at 42 minutes?

Or will they just slide along under everyone's feet like Flat Stanley?

 

[The Merry Prankster]

I despair

 

[papajaff]

I'm WSL so don't qualify but if I did they'd have to pay me cos in Pat Mustard style, I'm so gorgeous.

 

[BN9 BHA]

Well, no. But the miserable buggeriness is still depressingly predictable.

Depressingly? I wouldn't call it that.

 

[BN9 BHA]

I had the same problem.

They haven't got that much cardboard

 

[BNthree]

If there was a chance of my cutout being shown on tv I'd be up for this but what's the likelihood of that with them up in the East Upper? It's a fun idea but not one I want to fund!

 

[Milano]

I fear this will be embarrassing, I’d be amazed if they sell many at all at £20 each.

 

[Invicta]

Won't be happy if there is soggy cardboard all over my seat when we go back in 2022 !

 

[AmexRuislip]

What a load of tosh, might as well add a cardboard cut out of match referee, say Mike Dean.
Similar charisma IMO.

 

[Wozza]

South Korea...

 

[sagaman]

What a waste of cardboard- beyond parody

 

[Mo Gosfield]

I would be happier if my club ( instead of spending time on trademarks and cardboard cut outs ) got together with the other 19 PL clubs and worked out how the football pyramid can be saved. Unless thought and consideration is given to those less financially fortunate, then there will be casualties. But I guess that as long as everything is rosy in the PL garden then thats ok.

 

[Perfidious Albion]

Silly idea, just for the cameras

Though you rarely see the upper tiers on the cameras...

Given refunds are due out this week on season tickets I suppose the club must find other ways of fleecing the fans for money during these financially difficult times whilst they continue to pay some players weekly what quite a few fans do not even earn annually.

This.

 

[keaton]

We actually tried something like this a few years ago but in reverse. We paid a few grand a week to Leon Best so we could have a cardboard cutout of him on the pitch for ten or so games

Well said..

And this is the issue for me. Would be great if it was lower tiers, but the Premier League couldn't give two shits about fans so have stopped this.

Upper tier is a no for me.

The tv will scan around it pre match I'm sure, but that will be it. What's the point?

And, there are 4 in my family, so it's £80 or nothing.

Agreed. What's worse? No cardboard cutouts, or about 50 cardboard cutouts?

Hmmm.
