At least when decisions are made and fans raise concerns they listen take things on board and then come back with a suitable compromise that both the club and supporters are happy with. Much better than making decisions then sticking your fingers in your ears and being unwilling to compromise and listen

Hopefully when the new seats are installed, a family stand is created and club community staff are available to provide activities on match days. It would create a safe and fun place to be, allowing adults to enjoy the match in other areas.

Club statement headline is unsupervised under 14s, but the tickets are for unsupervised 12-16 year olds ?

Problem I think lies with the ticket bands being decided before thinking about the safeguarding requirements..hence this extra ticket type

I bet you would love sitting in the family stand with the kids.

What difference will it make if the club have details of an U16 buying a ticket if something untoward happens, how does that help with safeguarding ?

Other EFL clubs have accepted it and implemented it as its a safeguarding issue . Wonder how?

Why, you just stated the club have tried to resolve it, have they resolved it ? Or am I not allowed to ask in case it’s a bit of a tricky question and you don’t like it.

Families want decent modern safe facilities & I expect that goes a long way explaining the huge spectator increases in the flourishing Ladies games, Safe environment etc
We are hamstrung by our not really fit for purpose facilities & as long as we remain a League club we can steadily bring the ground up to modern must have standards & hopefully we are safe with a month still to finish the season & we crack on with the upgrades.

Safe guarding & other initiatives are the future & we must adapt.

The cheap admission prices have more to do with the good attendance at the women Euros.

Not a bad ploy though! Get people hooked onto the game and they will pay more in future and bring friends. Not unlike the "kid for a quid" was supposed to do.

Still not sure what dangers await a child who goes to Holker Street. Has Barry Bennell been released?
