Didn’t they get a lot of flack as they didn’t open the standing last time? Perhaps this is a way of dissuading people from the terrace so they don’t have to open it again and it won’t be their fault.
Mind you No one would want to pay more than £20 to sit in a gazebo so perhaps it’s a way to make money!

I a double take on those prices however I went on the Rovers site and it costs £26.00 to stand on the home terrace behind the goal but £20 to sit in their shiny new stand at the other end. So looks like prices are indeed correct!!

People will buy the seating tickets and the stand in front of people who need to sit

I think the gazebo has gone and they are encouraging people to sit in the new stand Looks that way doesn't it. Does anyone know how many the new stand holds? Perhaps they are hoping they won't be needing to open the standing section and can save a bit of money without the need to staff it. Mind you, having looked the new stand can seat over 3000 by the looks. Not sure if its shared by both home and away fans though but if its only away fans then you would think they could simply close off the standing section anyhow.

A bit difficult to know which way to go. Usually stand but the worst open terrace tucked away in the corner, usually rains and £7 cheaper to sit 🤔

Perhaps they are hoping they won't be needing to open the standing section and can save a bit of money without the need to staff it. Except we’re already selling standing tickets already….. I was referring to Bristol of course as I gather its they who determine where away fans are housed and what tickets are sent to Town to sell on...👍 I'm just trying to get my head around it. If they are are charging more for standing because they would rather see away fans sat in the new stand then I gather they could simply allocate the new stand. I mean considering the size of it, if it is only away fans in there we won't be taking anywhere near 3000. And its a not just a bit more either, six notes. Six notes! Just wondering how the justify such a price difference and their reasoning behind it. I think it would be best to go in the new stand. Not only because of the price; whilst I appreciate most like to stand when the chance comes about I get the impression we'll make an awful lot more noise with a roof (and behind the goal). I've stood on that terrace before and it is difficult to get an atmosphere going. I think that new stand will help on that front.

I’m loathe to call it a new stand, looks like a cheap and nasty temporary structure held up by huge poles at the front.

It’s an all metal construction I think with metal flooring, sort of a permanent temporary stand…. No cantilever, roofs held up by posts along the front! Very old school 😂 imgup.app/7mts8

The others are for home fans.
