It’s all deflection away from the real issue which is the redevelopment and especially that fooking awful east stand.
If it’s about business case this make even less sense than finishing the east.
Most of the fans in the back of the north stand anyway, IMO a waste of money to put rail seating in.

Agree, hoping to see some game time for young Roberts & for Warburton to push on too

Neither good enough.

In October the survey was sent out only to the STH in the Sheinman Opticians Stand via email.

Ex Colchester left sided player Brennan Dickenson has signed for Exeter from McPlastics.

I wonder if we were in for him? I have thought for a while that he would be useful for us.

Former loan player of ours, back in 2014. Did well at Col U but didn't really get much of a chance at MK, now he's at Exeter......he gets around!

Happy to wait another two weeks as long as they're the right players

Judging by Curles's comments on the offy site today, it doesn't look as if anyone will be signing soon.

I believe that for that one they only surveyed the season ticket holders who reside in the North Stand...

Ah, in that case, it's a pretty respectable response rate.

It's a bit of an odd thing to do though - obviously existing season ticket holders in the North are the key stakeholders but you'd have thought they'd have asked the wider season ticket/supporter population if they'd be interested in using a safe standing area if there was one in the North.

If the first question was along the lines of "would you have any interest in using a safe standing area" you could always just ignore anyone who says "no" due to their "preconceived ideas" (as I clearly have  ) and then take the views onboard on the following questions from the remaining respondents.

Surely the idea of introducing safe standing is to attract additional supporters, not just about taking seats away...

I'm a North Stand back row season ticket holder & stated within the survey that I stand during the whole game but use my seat prior to kick off & at half time...

If I can still have my allocated "space" with a rail in front of me, to stand/lean against during the game, but my actual seat still available to flip down and use at other times then I'm more than happy...been in same seat since Sixfields opened & I ain't getting any younger, so appreciate the sit down during half time 

This wasn't given as an option from the survey, just a case of do you want safe standing or not!

Sorry, hadn't noticed the link on the Tweet; that graph IS taken from the official survey. Bloody hell, I'd have thought they'd have got a better response than that from what must be a fairly lengthy mailing list. 529 respondents is pitiful and suggests that apathy reigns more than anything else.

If, as Deepcut thinks, the survey was of North Stand STHs the response from 529 supporters was unusually high as these things go and demonstrates high interest with 85% of that number in favour.  BOTN is approaching the issue with pre-conceived ideas and a personal antipathy towards an individual. Not a sound or sensible approach.
