Anyone picked up some seats? I got some today. No idea what I’m going to do with them though. Nice bit of memorabilia anyway. Do they come with frames? |

When something good comes on telly (granted not very often) leap up (get your wife to do it too) and then throw yourself back down onto your seat in disappointment with an 'oh fu*k' or similar expletive to get the usual EP experience. Could also leave them under a tree full of nesting birds, so they can shit on them to get the ultimate LT1 experience. |

Or if like me you sit in UT3 put your seats as far away from the telly as you can get so that (with fading eyesight) you can barely see the TV never mind what the feck is happening on it. Me to my son 'was that Big K who scored', 'no Dad it was John Marsden'. |

The pics showed the frames still attached to the stand, so I presume not. Do they limit how many you can get? Are you allowed to ask for a specific seat? |

I’m not sure they’d all be stored in stand/row order now they’ve been ripped out. And other than the odd seat that may still have its number attached how would you even know the difference (unless you sat in one of the few white seats). |

All you get is the back and the bit you put your arse on. I saw people chucking loads in vans when I grabbed mine so I assume there's no limit and they are just piling them up so you can't get a specific seat. |

I know is not happening but imagine the lower tier of the CE having rail seats fitted to replace the normal seats ...now that is something that would improve the atmosphere in EP

It might have been on here before but if you were wondering if we could develop EP with the space we have then take a look at Plough Lane (Wimbledon)
They have developed that stadium in a tight residential area they have built a smart main stand that wouldn't look out of place in the Vernon stand space and also fitted rail seating to the south stand..
So EP is doable with no need to talk about moving, buying extra land, etc, the only thing we need is a willingness to do it (Owners, Council, Fans,) and a fair
few million pounds

Yeah fair play to Wimbledon. But it’s tiny. We need to be thinking much bigger than that.
