	Dear Sir,

		 I have been asked by the Chairman to reply on his
	behalf to your letter of the 14th February.

		 So far as concerns the strict legal position I should
	tell you that the Board has been advised that at no time in the
	history of the club has its constitution specified which stand or
	part of the stand should be designated as shareholders seating
	accommodation. This designation is a matter of administration and
	as such is properly decided by the Board.

		 The Board has given careful consideration to the views
	expressed in your letter but you will recall from my letter of the
	12th May 1959 the financial reasons that underlay their decision
	to alter the arrangements then existing. Under the circumstances
	the Board feel that they would not be justified in departing from
	the arrangements which now obtain.
