    What’s the point in putting new seats in the Bradford End which will never get used?

    Surely a trial for safe standing would have been a better idea?

    seats are free from a ‘sponsor’ whereas safe standing would have been costly including removing concrete and relaying to get the depth of each step wide enough

    Why do you think they will never get used?

    I sat in the upper tier for the cup game against Reading and think the lower tier was used too for City fans

    Didn't Carlisle fill the away end last game of last season? Maybe Grimsby before that?

    I’d give full Bradford end to schools when a small away crowd is expected

    It's a shame our sponsors couldn't have paid to have safe standing installed on the lower tier.
    The view (if sat down) from the ground tier is awful. Hence why everyone stands up.
    I doubt new seats will make any difference to improving the view of the pitch and away fans will continue to stand

    There are plenty of scallies who stand at school gates, who would agree with that.

    Port Vale, Mansfield and Tranmere asked for more tickets last season. They were refused due to relevant certification.

    There’s just under 800 seats in the lower Dallas. X that number by demand, based on last season alone, and you can just about fathom why the decision to replace such seats was made.

    Im amazed it’s even brought into question, to be honest.

    Presumably the club will be putting fans in those seats from now on.

    Captain Obvious answer?
