    The East Standers won't leave!

    I live right by ER and there's folk still inside the East refusing to leave. I just heard an announcement "This is a safety message come down now before you are injured"

    I stayed for 10 minutes soaking up the atmosphere for that one last time, it was mental. Catering menus weren't even safe from the volunteer demolition team!

    Just spoke to my friends who were in the East today. They left with 2 seats and said there was folk still singing, ripping keepsake menus off walls and any signage was getting grabbed right left and centre

    Shame it would've been nice for some of the stuff to be auctioned off for Dnipro or something.

    Did they really expect to have some left?

    Tbh the club shouldn't have started selling the seats until after today, they must have known that there would be some folk pulling them up after the game today.

    The whole thing wasn't very well organised imo, less than a weeks notice that it was the last game, 4 days to organise new seats etc.

    When the main stand got knocked down years ago the club had a firework display for it, we get a certificate

    Ripping up seats is pretty trampy tbh..

    Plenty folk had made the effort to fill a form in and go down and pay for a seat and maybe a certain numbered seat in particular..

    A few folk will now be dissappointed..

    My old man secured me "B14" seat.

    If anyone's taken that, they'll be picking up their teeth with a broken arm

    Bad patter mate we all had the chance to get one as mentioned here. What was the "get down for your own safety" message about?

    An ill-timed Fathers for Justice escapade I wager. Jonnyboy and Zlatan went to the game dressed as Superman and a Banana respectively. Allegedly.

    It should be ok, it was more the middle of the stand that the seats were being pulled up from
