Not sure why that's being reported on now, sure it had been all agreed a good while a go now! Work definitely starts next week so guessing this is old news as wouldn't be able to jack up the works at such short notice The plans have been in place for a while yes, but the planning permission giving Stoke the go ahead to start the work has only just been granted. Appreciate that but there must have been some prior liaison or consultation giving the nod or heads up that things were going to be OK & an indication as to when permision would be granted as the construction & Plant teams wouldn't have been ready to crack on at such short notice as a few days warning. Equally construction workers wouldn't sit around waiting for any decision that could go against Stoke & prevent it from happening with other potential work being available elsewhere. In short all parties must have known it was going to be a done deal & just waited for the i's to be dotted and the t's to be crossed.

It's his first season ticket and he can't wait he should be absolutely fine and will love it if he likes an atmosphere. Personally wouldn’t get them right next to the away end though as that’ll be full of rough arses!

Can’t wait for next season Fingers crossed we both get spots then mate! Yes I'm normally not optimistic about our chances but with SS and JW at the helm I can feel more positivity about the place and I like it here's to a successful season

Do we know how much of the stand is safe standing? And I presume the away fans are moving to the corner? Do they have safe standing?
I think the south stand will be getting sold out and The Boothen will finally die a death unless we put some safe standing in there aswell???

Only thing I’d say is at 10 how tall is he and will he be able to see , if he can’t then suspect he’ll get fed up after a couple of games .. has he been away games and stood for 90 minutes , how did he get on IE turning up every home game 10 and standing only being able to see 40-60% of the play for a 10 year old has the potential for becoming boring once the novelty wears off

It's worth the risk lol

I think the south stand will be getting sold out and The Boothen will finally die a death unless we put some safe standing in there aswell??? All the back rows from about row 20 i think it is all the way round the corner to where the end of the family stand is, away fans will have safe standing.

Cost more money to take the seats out, also if we ever qualified for European competition again (unlikely i know) you need to be all seated nowhere have i seen who have put safe standing in have removed the seats.
