Now that we can all fit in the tbs shall we close all the other stands and use the family stand for away support ?
Or any other variation of the theme. Bung everyone in the sieve instead. Why keep all stands open when it's a waste of time and manpower?

After standing back in the Sieve for the trophy match its painful to watch the game from such a crap view. Not sure there is any need to shut any stand. Only team left this season that will bring decent numbers are Maidstone but that's a night match and they are playing shite.

The sieve for me all the time at least the food is a little bit better there.

I've only ever been in the TBS three times including Saturday and found you could see the match much better and the view was very good. I don't think there's need to shut any stand as it will kill the atmosphere.

What atmosphere Joel ?
We allegedly have no money but we pay for stewarding, policing and cleaning up of these stands. Over 80% of our ground sits empty, the entire crowd on Saturday would have fit in the tbs.

Yes.But not everyone has to pay the bills either.
At least 80% of our ground is unfilled.Why open 100% of it ?

They wouldn't fly an EasyJet plane with 80% of its seat empty.And if they did it would soon become financially unviable.
