Couple of bits of north bank feedback

I understand what you are saying here but can you honestly say that everyone in the singing section are standing in their correct seat and haven't moved from another area of the West.

Yeah, I get it, but stewards are still deployed by stand.

Tom also apologised about this at the Trust AGM last night, saying it was a mistake within the system that should never have happened.

I'll take your comments back @Smiffy, but believe this is worth mentioning. We're not a typical NL league nor do we have, or plan to have, a typical NL ground.

I believe you'll be told you can't just have freedom to roam across the North and West Stand for safety and security reasons. A seat is sold to a person whose information is on the records, if you have free movement, you can't identify perpetrators, and stewards are allocated to stands so if you suddenly had mass movement, it would cause safety problems.

Also, if they don't think safe standing is a possibility in the North, then they are not going to go back to terracing.

Nobody can tell you whether safe-standing is possible without conducting some design work and spatial/ sightline studies. That hasn't been done.
Safe-standing v terracing is an altogether different argument. Both are possible, but terracing would yield a greater capacity and would be ever so slightly cheaper given the fact that the existing infrastructure would have to be completely reworked either way.
