Surely the club should/could/will inform us appropriately if the issue isn’t rectified ?? and therefore ££s affected.

Now running to the shed to hide from all the normal happy clapping scathing vitriol to come my way.

I’m big and ugly enough don’t worry.

For me the problem is that this keeps happening. If we are serious about being a club where the fans have control, then those supporters need to be kept informed. Nobody expects or should expect, perfection from those with charge of our club. But the levels of secrecy around anything pertaining to off the pitch matters at Newport County is farcical.

Old Cromwellian nailed it. A few lines on the official website. Why seating had been removed, when or if we hoped to have it replaced. That's all that was required.

Comments like "I read it somewhere or I was told" have no substance, unless backed up with supporting data.
Where the Club and RP continually fall down is in their disregard for relaying information out to the fans and public who attend RP for both codes.
I find this contempt of the public totally and utterly reprehensible.
It does not take much too put out a few lines in the press, websites etc as to why this has happened, what is planned to rectify it and potential time scales.
So come on NCAFC and RP it is time to unsheathe the sword of truth from the scabbarb of secrecy.

All the above is of cource subject to others control, and until firm information can be confirmed.

It may be that that the condition of the stand parts are being checked, to see if it is a cheap fix, or if it would be better to wait until the summer sporting events finish, to see if another could be sourced cheaper.

Fixed terracing may well require planning consent, as well as consent from the owners.

There will be a few things to consider, and the bottom line is that we have to have a crowd bigger than 6070 for it to be a league issue. With most local clubs being promoted last year, it is probably a good a time for it to happen as any.

Everything you say is correct. But you are missing the point that Old Cromwellian makes eloquently.

As a fans owned club it is beyond me why those who have the privilege of having charge of our club seem to think that it is acceptable not to communicate with the supporters.

Perhaps because they have yet to make a decision and are still considering the options?
There's no particular rush, and it needs to be discussed with other parties

I personally would prefer this to be discussed with all options on the table myself, rather than have all and sundry voicing their opinions on something that effects the supporters of away clubs only.
