    They’ll just move the plastic from the front 4 rows and have the flag wavers / drummers stand there, forcing everyone behind to also stand

    Like I said that's your choice but you know our club and how things work by now.
    Enjoy the Samba beat and hold your flag way up high my friend, it's the future of Block B the club say's so but they have made u turns in the past so don't give up hope.

    Out of curiosity have you been informed by the club of the change.
    Not everyone uses the internet.
    We used to have an elderly gent sit with us in c block for many years but could no longer manage the steps so moved last season to the top of b block. I fear he will stop coming now he’s having to move again and probably won’t be alone.

    There’s a wheelchair section at the top of A block I have a friend sits in it

    Not sure how many spaces but yes all used as it’s very crowded on that platform.

    If everyone that currently sits in block B renews it doesn’t leave much room for the atmosphere people.

    how many are there? Are we talking a dozen or a hundred?

    Yep. The concourse under the main stand sounds like a good idea

    Of course they did, who would pay more if they did not have to.
    Lets keep the tickets at £200 until the year 2050 , when we are playing in the premier league, The northern premier league.

    they are not forcing anyone to move. They have told you that the atmosphere people are moving in if there are spaces. No one has been forced to move

    But there aren’t currently and won’t be any spaces if everyone in that block renews so if they don’t want drums and flags, they know what to do.
    However, the atmosphere group could send a bunch of strongly worded letters voicing their displeasure in an attempt to force / persuade the B Block occupants to move out against their wishes just because they aren’t active / vocal / interested.

    And if those in the bottom few rows of the exec blocks are forced to stand, what do think those in the other rows, behind them, will need to do?
    And the top row of the exec blocks has wheelchair spaces, and their view is going to be blocked.

    Can’t wait to see if the club backs the atmosphere or the season ticket holders I think it’s going to make a few season ticket holders upset and if they start wanting refunds do the club backdown and leave the atmosphere in the NWC

    Agreed.
    I'm being moved as I've been a season ticket holder in the NWC for the last 8 years, but you know what, I don't care, as long as we try something to get the best out of a crowd that to be honest, at home, is pathetic.
    Behind the goal, generally at every ground up and down the country is where the most vocal supporters should be and are. The home end!
    Sides, upper tiers and corners are for those who want to sit on their hands for the whole 90 mins of a match, yet will clap furiously like a seal for the players after a 3-0 home defeat.

    i dont understand the logic of closing all but 8 rows of the upper tier. if its open its going to need stewarding so might aswell open it all up.

    It offers the best view in the ground and if i were to renew id have thought about going back in there.

    As I mentioned earlier, they may be holding it back for those not happy to be sitting in/behind the new 'atmosphere area'.

    Sat in the main stand for the FA cup match against Wycombe, my lad fancied a change.
    No doubt a great view, but my god like sitting in a library.
    Towards the end of the game attacking the kop end, we got a good head of steam up pushing for an equaliser, we were up and down in our seats , the complaints from the people behind.
    We were not permanently stood just at the exiting bits. Were we being inconsiderate, i do not think so.
    I had to say to the guy behind, this is football not the opera.
    In the words of Maximus in Gladiator, are you not entertained.

    its football, it gets you up and down in your seat, or at least it should, does not happen enough at VP to be an issue though.
