SCC really want to see us broken whilst over at the deathtrap it's the land of Unicorns and Rainbows on Leppers Lane.

This has just been received and to keep our members up to date regarding the Kop restrictions.
Dear all.
Once again, thank you for your assistance in getting our messages out with regards to issues on the Kop. Taking advice from you guys, we have once again attempted to go down the line of ‘please help us and work with us’ rather than a threatening tone. However, we are now getting to a serious point with Sheffield Council talking about further sanctions. Of course, we have little chance of opening more seats or developing the Kop further whilst this issue persists. For clarity, our issue is over migration and overcrowding in certain areas of the Kop, rather than standing.
Below are the points we are looking to get across this week and we may also engage the local media to assist us. These are for the Swansea and Middlesbrough games initially before we take any further steps – once again, thanks for your assistance previously and going forward.
There will be enhanced ticket checking on the Kop for games going forward, we would request that supporters arrive in plenty of time to enable this process and to occupy the seat aligned with your season ticket
We are repositioning our CCTV cameras in an attempt to highlight those not occupying their seat and potentially pick out those who will not comply with ground regulations
The club is losing around £30,000 per game by not selling match tickets on the Kop (this is variable with ticket prices for varying for category of games)
The club has received further communication from Sheffield Council praising our efforts so far but concerned that we are not getting the correct results. Council officers together with representatives of the Sports Grounds Safety Authority have been in attendance in recent games as we have taken time to monitor if our previous efforts have been successful
The Council, as the certifying authority, could look to other enforcement alternatives.
As ever, please feel free to provide any feedback/comment as necessary.
