    Agreed but I'm sure the Premier League and Sky wouldn't have Liverpool playing away on the 40th anniversary of Hillsborough for instance. Or, if they did, they would move it.

    As @Silverbantam@Silverbantam says we have played on the date before but only once as far as I can tell and that was in 1991. The next nearest was when we played the first leg of the 1996 play offs against Blackpool on 12th May.

    Also, the EFL only announced those dates on 27th Feb when we were well and truly in the play off picture. They just haven't thought about us and that's the bit which really bothers me. It doesn't take much to put out a statement saying that if Bradford City are in the play offs they will swap that with one of the league 1 fixtures from the day before.

    The minutes of the meeting of 15 May 2025 have now been published. Due to the time that has passed between the meeting taking place and the minutes appearing, most of the items covered have already been announced / happened.

    A few points that may not have been widely reported:
    • Safe standing and stadium WiFi projects are both on hold, due to the costs involved;
    • A project to improve and repair the stadium's toilet facilities was planned to begin this summer; and
    • Matchday road closures around the stadium were being reviewed between the Safety Advisory Group and the Council and, at the time of this meeting, the Club hoped to receive an update "soon".
    As always the minutes can be found here.

    The minutes of the meeting of 10 July 2025 have now been published.

    It was reported that over 250 fans missed their first Direct Debit payment, creating administrative burdens and potential ticketing conflicts. The club is considering stricter enforcement or third party credit solutions if the trend continues.

    This also led to a delay in announcing total season ticket sales, whilst the Club reconciled the Direct Debit defaults.

    Other items included:
    • New Role: A full-time Fan Engagement Officer will be appointed.
    • Fan Zones: Plans to enhance the atmosphere with live music and a festival-style setup.
    • Suite Renovations: The Hendrie and McCall Suites are undergoing phased upgrades, including bar remodelling, new AV systems, and improved toilets.
    • Monthly Themed Matchdays: Larger events are planned for high-profile fixtures such as Huddersfield, Barnsley, and Rotherham
    As always the minutes can be found here.

    Must have sorted 150 of them as didn't they say they had frozen about 100 tickets due to non payment?

    If I recall isn’t clear evacuation alerts a critical part of the safety certification . If alerts are intelligible then they should act? It’s ok testing in an empty stadium but 1515 on a Sat afternoon during a game is a different ball beast.

    Did I read the other day that safe standing is being ripped out due to fan request at Ipswich ?

    Hasn't it been reported before that a different system is used for the safety announcements to the normal tannoy system?

    Really ? A loudspeaker is a loudspeaker , are you saying they have a different speaker set up or are you saying the emergency feed to the same speakers is different. It’s different lighting systems as in all buildings yes I get that “ sound”? Worth asking , I just don’t see the point of two sets of loudspeakers ?

    PA system is pretty much unintelligible all the time BUT you can hear the announcements about the different coloured team leaders as clear as day!!

    I can’t argue tbf , you may be right but sounds odd to have two sets of speakers that’s all.

    That means he could be correct in his assertion there are two systems ?

    We should just get the green team leader to announce the half time scores.

    Made me laugh.

    It doesn’t matter that we have two systems although excessive in my view. We just need one that ppl can hear and respond if necessary.

    Over the last couple of seasons the anticipation of which team leader they announced was more interesting than some of the football.

    I suppose having two systems, adds a safety factor if one goes down you should still be able to alert the crowd to possible dangers.

    I finally learned the trick that they change the traffic light by the tunnel before the announcement!! My lads thought I'd become psychic!!!
