HungHuynh Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Anyone else notice mainstream media quite often saying "so called" when referring to us ? So called active support So called Red and Black Bloc So called journalism. I blame turner. Next they will chuck a fuss with so called australians living in the west. Bones 1 Link to comment
domeromeo Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 What a waste of money this is. Due to the increased police presents and the fact that the casuals feel this has affected the atmosphere, we will be lucky to get 10,000 people to a game next season. So many new comers to football, came for the atmosphere alone. I wouldn't be surprised if memberships drop dramatically next year. Feel sorry for the new owners FairPlay 1 Link to comment
essdub Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 We may sell the same or more memberships next season, the issue is getting the members to turn up week in week out. I know of people who have memberships but have only come to maybe 5 home games all season. And if they have a family pass, that's 4 empty seats because dad has to work or whatever. The buy back scheme needs to be in place next year so those empty seats can be filled come game day. There was 12,000 at the game yesterday so that means there was 4000 members who had other priorities. The RBB looked and felt smaller in numbers and I don't think the attitude towards security and police is helping. We need to create an understanding relationship between the RBB and the security/police and then they may give more space. But then again, what the fk would I know right?

ColdRock Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Emails have been sent, phone calls have been made, letters posted and still the club chooses to impose rules rather than make agreements with the RBB. There is currently no deal in place so the security/police are making rules up as they go, absolute power of the "ban" allows this. This gives the appearance of an unruly mob looking to punch on with seccies, when in fact the opposite is true. Security/police are simply attacking anything that offends them. So when the confused member questions why he is being evicted, he appears as just another defiant troublemaker. To date the only concrete rule aimed specicifaclly at the active section is "flare = -3 points". A flare hasn't been seen at a league game since. Formal communication resulting in instant application. Much like terrace upgrades which at the moment can only be speculated on, till formal communication comes from stadium officials.

WSW27 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Where is that single seat? (I haven't looked through the thread if it has been posted). I think back of 57, I'm pretty sure Mack took this photo though so he will know Link to comment
Gazmon Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Just get the rail seats in the northern terrace ready for next season, increase RBB membership, upgrade facilities and a bigger roof and that's fine for me. We don't need a 25-30k venue right now. Link to comment
Carns Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 The rail seat is at the back of 58, right on the aisle between 58-59, in front of the disabled viewing platform. WSW27 1 Link to comment

Carns Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Fair enough. Anyone actually used it? Every time I've seen it, it has been locked in the upright position. Link to comment
ydoow Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 (edited) So has it been confirmed whether or not they can be unlocked during half time breaks? If not lets try next home game, we might get tasared and cavity searched afterwards though.... Edited March 25, 2014 by ydoow Link to comment

Sime11 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 if Rail seats get installed etc, they'd stay in locked position for most of the season (until NRL stars). No need to unlock them in between games (no events there IMO) and they wont unlock them at Half time. good thing about them being locked is the seats shouldnt be broken and have to be replaced unlike a certain main event in the city last year Prydzopolis 1 Link to comment
ydoow Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Ahh, I thought you might be able to adjust them by 'clicking' them in to the seating position. I'm clueless on the topic, clearly Link to comment

westofcentre Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 (edited) Given the latest police presence nowhere is safe to stand in Maximum Security Pirtek stadium. If someone from Silverwater Jail tries to wscape or does some serious f ucked up sh*t they get sent to Pirtek. Edited March 25, 2014 by westofcentre Link to comment
FairPlay Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Safe standing seats ftw! Lets hope its all the way behind the goal, that way will force out ppl that want to sit into the grandstand. Too many seated soldiers in the Northern Terrace. Tranquilo 1 Link to comment

Too many seated soldiers in the Northern Terrace. The only downside now will be the ones who normally sit, will now stand with arms folded and mumble & grunt their displeasure.

Bay 55,56,57 should just be RBB like last season, the rest semi active, there's just not enough members to fill up the rest of the NT who actually want to get involved, but hopefully i'm proven wrong.
