alpine_saint Posted 10 March, 2010 Share Posted 10 March, 2010 Am I talking about the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva that has to be shut down for a year and billions of Euros because of a design flaw that prevents it fulfilling its task ? No, I am talking about Wembley, which appears to have no strategy and technology for moving the segregation zone and allowing Saints to sell as many tickets as possible for the JPT final...

If people have been worried about the end of the world because of that thing, then that's a good move. Pumping billions of Euros into it, is not. Scientists really know how to waste money... No, I am talking about Wembley, which appears to have no strategy and technology for moving the segregation zone and allowing Saints to sell as many tickets as possible for the JPT final... We don't know the full story there. Maybe they don't want to let in more Saints fans, after all, we hardly come with the reputation as the nicest bunch of fans in the country, thanks to the small few that insist on causing grief. There are still other ways of getting tickets, I should expect to see quite a few for sale on this board in the next couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surley its not just about segragation inside the ground though? Fans I guess will go to one side or the other to get in and having fans split this way must be easier to manage for the police. Not that our trip there is a grudge match or anything but 44000 fans cant be an easy lot to cope with even on a good day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StuRomseySaint Posted 10 March, 2010 Share Posted 10 March, 2010 22,000 empty seats at an average price of £34 = £647k I emailed Wembley offering ( at a cost of £300,000 ) to offer sufficiant segregation through the way of barriers, netting and extra stewards, but am yet to recieve a reply. Surely it's a no-brainer? I get the segregation in at a cost of £300k and they get to sell the rest of the tickets, making a profit of £347k. Everyones a winner.

Maybe they don't want to let in more Saints fans, after all, we hardly come with the reputation as the nicest bunch of fans in the country, thanks to the small few that insist on causing grief. This is why, post match, when there has been reports of trouble, and certain posters try and pie off any criticism of those involved by saying things like "just stay home and drink tea/knit with your missus if you can't handle football, hurh hurh hurh, i'm a blokey bloke", it makes me wonder just how short-sighted some of our fans can be. That and the perception that football and Violence have to go hand in hand, and anything else is beyond the scope of human comprehension...

That and the perception that football and Violence have to go hand in hand, and anything else is beyond the scope of human comprehension... Completely ridiculous post. There is no connection between any perceived chance of trouble (with saints) and not giving us more tickets. It will be down to the health and safety of the ground which would be the same regardless of what team. I think Millwall got more tickets for the play offs last year, which clearly makes your argument incorrect. http://www.thisisbristol.co.uk/news/Millwall-fans-claim-Wembley-record-Bristol-Rovers/article-1011164-detail/article.html and last time a league table of arrests at football was published, with bans, we were nowhere near the top of it. saints have one of the softest supports going.

From my couple of visits there I'm pretty sure they just keep a combination of the numerous doors closed that break up the concourses and that's how segregation of the concourses is achieved. A row of 10 foot wide netting on seats and a few stewards easily covers the other issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry the Badger Posted 10 March, 2010 Share Posted 10 March, 2010 I read somewhere on a thread here that the pitch was being relaid just for the JPT final. It may well be getting relaid, but it probably has more to do with the FA Cup Semi Finals a week or so later than the JPT. Besides, they've relaid it quite a few times already and it's still sh*t.

Nexstar Posted 10 March, 2010 Share Posted 10 March, 2010 So what happens for the FA Cup final? Each team gets half the ground (admittedly lots of that 'half' are the 'football family') but you do not have fans of opposing teams sat above or below each other. However, I don't understand why we can't have the upper tier in the North-East of the ground which is currently empty, and leave a number of rows at the bottom of the upper tier for stewarding and segregation.
