Ive stood on my little spot on the terraces for as long as I can remember, its funny how you get to know the group around you, the same people in the same place every game, you miss them if they are not there, you laugh shout moan cry generally support together, yet your just football terrace acquaintances, mates for 90 minutes if you like.
Anyway the point of this thread is I am looking forward to seeing my terrace buddies again, most are only known by name but we have some great banter and it helps make the whole match day experience, 3 points and your in heaven!

Probably the only thing I'll miss if/when we move to the UWE.

Funnily enough we talked about this very topic at the open day, apparently the club may offer blocks of seating at the UWE to match the existing seating arrangements at the Mem, so theoretically you could still sit with your terrace buddies, not sure how this may work if you stand as I do? |

When i was an engineer i used to visit a customer and used to always nip out for a smoke with a guy there knew him for a few years and used to shoot the sh** about rovers, he moved jobs, but was fantastic to bump into him again at the mem.
Also not having been as much as i would like over the last few years its always good to look around and recognise a few faces from the tote etc

Thought about getting ourselves in say 5 x 5 square (kind of terrace formation) with a few spare seats between us for the odd mate/family that don't cant always make it

Sounds like an ideal PP, it's a lot trickier when it comes to seating though, quite often in the past Ive had friends down from other parts of the country and its not been unknown that 3 or 4 extra come along on match day, it makes this kind of scenario awkward as you want to be sat together! |

The answer is unreserved blocks for season tickets or match tickets.
We need a few of these blocks where your ticket is for a block but no specific seat number. Colston Hall do it for some rock gigs downstairs. Works well

This thread is reminding me how rediculous all seater requirements are in todays world.

Just imagine that, a miserable old git like Victor Meldrew who does nothing but constantly moan about the club. |

I doubt whether he comes on here though |

Well, I go to an all seater stadium to see the Mariners. I may have mentioned before, but it's only 3 sided too. We have so many blocks for reserved seats, as you get the same seat every game. Myself I get a general admission season ticket. I can sit in certain areas of the stadium. Some games I meet up with people. Sometimes I just go with my son. If it's raining i'll get there early to get under cover. We have lots of different KO times too. If the sun is going to be going down behind the stand we sit in another area. It's good as we (another Gashead) and I can go, and then if our friends come they sit with us although they're not season ticket holders. With our season tickets we get a couple of bring a friend for free tickets too. They were usable for all games, but last season they changed it, so we couldn't use them against local teams. Watching football in the summer. Wearing shorts and T shirt. Sipping beer.  Only problem is it's not the Rovers. But sure beats being frozen to death before KO. This is our ground. Seating on three sides. Palm trees, scoreboard the other end looking out over the water.  |
