What has been the process for other fans moved - the ones in the Holte that were shifted for the Terrace View Disabled seats?

I rejoined the queue in 2018 and am 20,000 or so last April so can't see myself being able to get one, my lad is in the 30,000s. We've been to all but 3 home games together and not missed one between us this season, but he got into football later than I'd hoped so my dreams of having a season ticket with him are highly unlikely. We pay for the membership to get tickets so hopefully that will still work OK to get seats next season. Can never get anywhere near the Holte though.

With 900 general admission seats being allocated to existing season ticket holders and the 900 becoming premium seats. It won’t improve the waiting list situation ( unless you can afford a premium seat) . Those on the list may get the chance to buy a posh seat, I guess?

But it sounds like even the existing seat holders aren’t getting that chance, Which is making me wonder: are people losing their seats because it is being converted to a premium seat or are people losing their seats because the seat just won’t be there anymore?

All 900 will be able to relocate to other parts of the ground. Their seats will become premium

Just to clarify,My point was, in reply to the possibility that people on the waiting list could buy a premium seat, that the existing seat holders aren’t even being given the option to retain their seat as a premium seat.
I'm sure if your seat still physically exists you will be given the option to take it at the premium price if that is how they are being sold.  Whether you want to shift to corporate / GA+ pricing is up to you.

I get why you're anxious, I would be too.  But at this stage we're all just guessing and you may not even lose the seat in the first place!

900 ST holders displaced, is that was what was expected? For some reason I was thinking there would be fewer than that.

It's what I feared, I'm expecting my Dear John letter today

Where do you sit Des?

A5, Row F seat 164

I'm pretty much identical to you Des, but in A4. Mildly concerned, but hoping it's more likely to be the middle tier of the Trinity, than the upper.
A5 row A here so hope we don't have to move
I'm in row B 159. Based on what's been said about the area around the dugout and other works I think we'll be okay this year but ours must be in the mix over the next couple of seasons.

I remember listening to an interview with wrestler Ric Flair where he once told Macho Man Randy Savage to stop constantly worrying about things that might never happen. As much as I try to be like Ric Flair, I will always be Randy Savage (insert joke here).

If as many wanted on here, they has knocked down the North Stand at the end of this season, I would imagine that there would have been far more disruption for season ticket holders?

Well yes.  But then we'd have a 50k seater stadium.

What they should do is give the Premium Seat option to all of the Category 1 STs first, then they will be able to offer those seats to those that are going to be displaced.

They should, but from the clubs perspective they may well want occasional fans to take the premium seats, because of their spend per head.

They are knocking a lot of the boxes through to create larger spaces for more seats - no more glass fronted boxes in the Witton or North Stand - but more seats.


If they can do it great but is that really possible?

Whilst I think they probably should have gone ahead and done it, it would have in a way been a shame to be playing Champions League football for the first time with a stand missing.

We're assuming a lot here, but if it's anything like the Terrace View approach then they will be delighted if fans take the GA+ seating as season tickets.

Could be worse.
