Quote ="RDM"On the basis that typically only 10% of people who are aggrieved by any particular issue will actually take complaints forward then the £20k may well already have been lost. The 12 e-mails already take things past the 10% mark. Once the policy is fully publicised on the club website, I'm sure that there will be more complaints.
£20,000 potential fine divided by £20 per ticket = 1,000 tickets
1,000 tickets averaged over the nine matches where this rule will be enforced = 112 fans (ok, 111.1 but you can't buy 0.1 of a ticket).
Add this to the knock-on effect of lower merchandising & food/beverage income then the financial risk of incurring a £20k fine could already have been outweighed by lost income.
While it's obviously preferable that no fine should be incurred, I suspect that there would actually be far less complaints (and fans voting with their feet) if the policy was implemented after a fine had been incurred.
I guess I'll just have to hope that the last game at BV is against Salford, Widnes, London or Catalans!!!'"
Mate it is pointless some fans do not see past their
nose, any one that backs the Northstand idea or the clubs home and away stand stance, they will be shot at dawn as it is their way or no way.. and threaten to leave the club
