Turning into safe standing. Allocated seat/standing spot so loosing unreserved seating. Also increased capacity

Wonder how they going to allocate who stands/sits where..... I have stood in the same place since they re-opened the Oak rd back up to home fans
Re: Oak road.

Same.
Hoping at the very least we'll be given a choice of which block, front/back.

away fans in Luton are always good when they get the whole Oak road in all cup matches

With the safe standing I have attended at away games you still get a “seat” so assume you will just be in the same position unless you ask to change. Tbh with the exception of the Bobbers most views aren’t great at Kenilworth Rd so standing would help imo.
Re: Oak road.
Posted by MG on 8/1/2024, 13:48:16, in reply to "Re: Oak road. "
Currently it's unallocated so people sit where they want.
According to the OP that will change to allocated seating.

Sit? not many sit, but yes unallocated but people have their "usual" places

Hope I don’t get moved from my usual spot. I have a position where I can see the KR goal perfectly between a stanchion and the new floodlight. 😉

Yes, but either way I think it's a good step. Would love to see it in the enclosure too, well J Block at least as they do tend to stand up too. Might not be so popular further along.

We all stand in lower maple, other side of tunnel, problem arises when any ( young) idiots get passed the non existent security, then jump on the pitch...
Re: Oak road.
Posted by TCasualT on 8/1/2024, 14:26:13, in reply to "Re: Oak road. "
Safe standing up to the tunnel would be perfect
Re: Oak road.

Right I didn’t know that… think the Oak is the only stand I haven’t been in over the last 20 years .
Think that’s sensible .
Re: Oak road.

PC going to be a long way off then if they're spending even more money of KR.
Re: Oak road.
Posted by The Boy Edwards on 8/1/2024, 16:59:32, in reply to "Re: Oak road. "
Why?Wasn't it said that any new works on KR would be able to be used in the new stadium and the new Bobbers can be dismantled and sold on.

They said at the start of the season that improvement works would continue throughout the year.

Posted by No nothing on 8/1/2024, 13:49:26, in reply to "Re: Oak road. "
I presume this is where the capacity might jump above Bournemouth, capacity crowds have been a little odd so far on numbers, can't make sense of it.
Re: Oak road.
Posted by The Questioner on 8/1/2024, 19:14:49, in reply to "Re: Oak road. "
All the safe standing I have used takes up the same space as a regular seat so don’t think that would change capacity.
Re: Oak road.
Posted by No nothing on 8/1/2024, 20:20:38, in reply to "Re: Oak road. "
Was just trying to apply some logic to our current capacity and prior claims from GS.

If what Godders has written below is correct then it would make sense.
Re: Oak road.
Posted by crumpsall on 8/1/2024, 13:53:09, in reply to "Re: Oak road. "
Me neither, I think you could be right.
Re: Oak road.
Posted by Godders on 8/1/2024, 19:41:34, in reply to "Re: Oak road. "
And neither could I to start with. Then I learnt that with unreserved seating there remains a certain %age (not sure exactly how much) that cannot be sold as people group together and leave odd seats dotted around (or something like that) but the the point being you cannot sell total number of seats if selling them as unreserved.
So by allocating each seat to a standing position you can therefore increase capacity even though you're still actually still only using the same amount of seats (if you're still with me).
You could still increase capacity in the Oak simply by making it allocated seating but that would definitely not be popular!!!!
Re: Oak road.
Posted by The Questioner on 8/1/2024, 20:21:44, in reply to "Re: Oak road. "
Oh right definitely didn’t know that. Why do people not want allocated seating in the Oak or are you just talking about away fans?

Because the view is so rubbish that there are so many restricted views in the Oak but if you're standing you can easily slightly move to gain a view.

Makes sense …
Re: Oak road.
Posted by RGDave on 8/1/2024, 13:04:25, in reply to "Re: Oak road. "
I guess they could take the new seating with them.
Re: Oak road.
Posted by TCasualT on 8/1/2024, 13:11:35, in reply to "Re: Oak road. "
That is exactly what they intend to do, but at this rate will need upgrading again before we move!
Re: Oak road.
Posted by RGDave on 8/1/2024, 12:53:42, in reply to "Oak road. "
Is that a suggestion?

No it's a statements. Had an email from the club this morning
