I see the club are relocating the away fans to the River End in a bid to sell more corporate tickets and create a horrible yank style fan zone.
Safe to say I won’t be attending it

I have a mate who has been sat in the same seat since he was 5 years old, and he's pretty pissed off. Said he likley won't renew.

Give over probably the cheapest part of the stadium to away fans, make all those that were sat there now pay higher season ticket prices to sit in the South Stand and boost the number of corporates while you’re at it.
All sounds a bit Jim Ratcliffe at Man United to be honest

I haven't seen any discussions about ST prices, would seem harsh making the movers pay more.

They may give them a season at the old rate just to avoid some bad PR, but I’d put the house on them having to pay the same price as the rest of the South Stand the season after

Are away fans going to have the river end on a permanent basis or just while work in the south stand is being completed?

"The club fully understands that relocating their seat will be a big change for some of our long-standing season ticket holders"...."we will do everything possible to ensure this is a smooth process".
Wonder what 'everything possible' actually means?
A "fan zone" and "premium offerings" are to be the big draw for fans.
October 15th is the consultation evening with fans. More corporate speak no doubt.

A naked play on raising Revenue for the yanks to claim their 11% Interest. They are as contemptuous as their President.
We should bet on the Football Regulator rather than our Board.

Permanent.
They’ve moved them to the South Stand, and have given away the top of the South Stand over to corporates

Thanks for this update. I didn't know there were any coordinated protests. Interesting to watch.
There's a huge disconnect on and off the pitch right now. All the signs are that we're in a relegation scenario already. I don't think I'm being over dramatic either.

A poor run of form stretching back in to last season, an uninspired manager with players who seemingly don’t fit his incredibly boring preferred style of play, (although I struggle to see what style of play all those new arrivals would actually play as there seems to be no coordination between the signings),lack of experience on and off the pitch, an angry fan base and absent owners……
Doesn’t bode well does it

That's a glass half full way of looking at it. Suppose it would come as a bit of a shock to the Americans.

Only because we won it. I’d wager a few mid table finishes getting beaten by Mansfield and Northampton and the novelty would soon wear off ha haTo be fair, league one was great fun

I'm not sure how coordinated they are to be honest, you only have to spend a few minutes on the pinkun to find ten people with different ideas. I don't think this one will work unless about 10,000 stay in after the game and that's not going to happen

No I agree. It's good to know some people are prepared to act together but reading the notes in detail there is no central message. Either it's about the seating or it's about the senior management or it's about performance of the team / manager. Everything looks just thrown together.
It's like that old Matt cartoon if you've seen it? A retirement age protest with the protest leader and his loudspeaker leading a dozen pensioners through the streets..."What do we want?... Why did we come here?... What were we saying?"
Maybe a bit unkind but you get the idea!
Ultimately it will be how ugly it gets if we lose again at home. I will never stop hoping for us to win but will be so pleased if there is some action by the board. Norwich have never been that trigger happy in the past - even if Knapper has actually done it twice in a short time. Probably both previous incumbents can feel aggrieved that their dismissals were too soon. Whereas I wonder if Manning could at this point in time if we remain in the bottom 3. Because it's failure by any kind of metric you choose - xG or whatever. Then there's the view of the fans. It's not been good on the eye.
