Andrew - wear waterproof boots or transfer ST’s to a higher NS row.

Barber on Palace exit . Says they've , with Jenny Gower (head of supporter services) sat down and watched every minute of the CCTV . Acknowledges and apologises that fans were uncomfortable and some were frightened. Have reviewed with the police and will make changes for 22/23.

There will be no need when they get relegated

PB still being a bit disingenuous on ST sharing and 'needing to know who is in the ground' being one of the key reasons for only being able to transfer to a member - he absolutely doesn't when people buy ST guest tickets.

AKA marketing database.

Yep, exactly how he's just described it without using the term expressly.

Complaints about the quality of wine - this is the content we dialled in for

 

[Is it PotG?]

Wine OUT!

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Imagine coming on a football fans forum and publicly
complaining that the white wine isn’t palatable

So Brighton, a question from Oz Clarke.

I think he's being very fair with his comments about the scheme. Just because a noisy minority has a beef with it, doesn't mean the club has to change it. But they have listened and tweaked it. Personally I'm happy with the scheme.

Nothing wrong with their red wine - after a few pints...

Brilliant work from Kevin. Obvious parody.

I don't disagree.....but that's not the primary reason for how it's set up

NEW: Barber says the revenue from the sharing scheme is £250K (perhaps indicating that they've sold about 1200 £20 sharing fees this year. (He then makes case that scheme is costing club money due to reduced Exchange revenues and reduced general ticket sales. )

Must be quite a few new A+ memberships signed up as a result as well.................

I/we agree with that caller.

Would love away fans to not be behind a goal, SW corner my preference.

All part of the Knight then Bloom ethos of treating away fans better than any other club.

For me this is the big off the pitch issue this season and this is good to read

crazy to say that standing in North stand is unsafe....instant policing...

 

[pure_white]

Barber - confirms they have planning permission for a fanzone outside the North Stand/Ticket Office - and create a covered area , improve food/drink , some facilities for kids/families and outside toilets.
Says that "as soon as they have more cash in the bank - it was delayed by Covid - then they will go ahead." "over the next season or two"

Toilets outside the stadium would be really good. I really hope the food/drink improves. Non-alcoholic lager be good. Better quality food and veggie options. In fact the overall choice for food is not great at all. I actually think it's very limited bland and too stodgy a lot of it. It's not cheap, but I'm not overlay bothered by that though personally I hate the fact the stadium is cashless, I appreciate that won't change. I woud love to get a 99/ Mr Whippy ice cream though I can see its not practical inside in the ground outside its perhaps more workable. I went to the first game of the season Forest Green v Sutton United and the food there is all veggie -FFS do NOT go that crazy! I fully appreciate people like to eat meat - just more choice would be a god start.

Safe Standing. No real change from Paul and previous comms. He's doubtful . Argues no real appetite for it and/or its really hard to make it work.
Reveals they've had only 1 injury in 10 years (in the South Stand) from supporters standing up .
Urges fans to make the case for it.
