Well done, only 150 invites so the odds were stacked against it.

I know Row 40 was always the back of the Tilton, but with safe standing we definitely lost a couple of rows at the back of the lower blocks, so I'm assuming there's a few numbers missing?

Row 15 is the back now, we just need someone at the front of the upper to confirm if they're in 16 or not!
Row 27 is the back row of lower. I’m in it

The Club is pleased to announce the first event in the new The Powerhouse Built by Us supporter consultation series

[bcfc.com]

"The consultation will give 150 season ticket holders in the room and thousands of supporters online the opportunity to share views and ideas."

ST holders will put up with all sorts of shit and still buy STs ... they did so before Knighthead got here.

Surely they should ask people who used to be ST holders, and people who no longer to matches.

I seem to recall that we will be behind both goals with the away fans in the top corner, but doesn't EPL rules state that away fans HAVE to be behind a goal?

Away fans are on the side at Bournemouth, vile, Wolves, Palace and Leeds.

The rules are thaw away fans must have some kind of access to pitch side seats.

Newcastle and Sunderland get exemptions due to them being unable to segregate away fans if they were in the lower tier.

Can't imagine the FA signing off on a brand new stadium that doesn't allow for away fans pitch side.

Unwilling not unable.
When the SoL opened there was no upper tier and tbey dealt fine with away fans at one end of the ground.
There is no resl reason why they could ot do this again,except the club doesn 't want to.

I didn't go to St James Psrk beforr the first upper tier was built, but a club with hundred of ,millions of turnover could easily put in a few barrierd to kerp fans separste at one end.

The licensing authorities shouldn't tolerste any deviations from the rules for rich clubs. Certsinly not for decades.

Away fans were behind the goal for at least the first 15 years it was open, and it was safely segregated.

I’d do similar to what man city have done, a long thin strip (albeit their is over 3 tiers), make it more difficult to create an atmosphere.

Looking forward to this. It'll be a break from the relentless online negativity.
