Reclaim the Upper Bullens

[Reidy's Bottle Of Grecian]

Claim it back for the home fans ffs, half the time the away team don't take up the allocation and folks are having to buy severely obstructed views to then see that there are around 3 thousand empty seat in the upper bullens, that have a decent view, not completely unobstructed but better than the ones they will have bought.

Yes, but i imagine there's some regulation rubbish which stops us doing it.

I would love to give a reasoned and articulate opinion on this matter but......

We're not Kopites with their 'Reclaim the Kop' FFS.

 

[paulbefc]

When we need it. Most games we really don't tbf.

 

[Royal]

It's not like we ever sell out anyway.

 

[Reidy's Bottle Of Grecian]

I'll bet that most games the only unsolds are very obstructed, and the away upper.

Two things mate

1. The whole of the away section is ~3000 seats, so Upper is presumably ~ 1500. How often are we ~ 1500 seats off capacity and so could use the Upper Bullens in any sensible way ?

2. No way will we ever have home supporters above away supporters. One word, coins.

It's not going to happen.

Edit : This post is complete b*ll*cks and I'm ashamed of it, now stop picking on me

1. We're often down on capacity due to people not wanting to sit in a spec with a lovely view of a big white pole (no, not Peter Crouch), so we could probably sell those as tickets as seats in the Upper Bullens.

2. Yeah, after the Suarez incident. But we did it a few times last year and I swear we did it once this year too didn't we?

Not having a go here like...

Actually ... that rings a bell, but I can't remember who we were playing that day.
Let me go back and edit my post accordingly so that it makes it clear it ain't going to happen when we're playing any teams we hate !

Think it was when we played QPR, first home game of the season and that.

It couldn't possibly happen when we play teams we hate anyway. City, United and Liverpool are the only teams it's likely to kick off against, and they sell out anyway.
