Well thats my point, i wouldn't pay extra to begin with. And i dont know, ask the Leeds United fans im sure they will comment on that one

Well said.

Tell you what

As I get older the more I appreciate seats at sporting events

Me too I wouldnt think of standing now,Although while I'm sat in the north stand enjoy the atmosphere eminating from the south stand

You can't pre-book where you stand but you can pre-book where you sit.
Hence, I sit and I have an extra hour per week that would otherwise be lost.
Mind you, I get the same whining eejit sat directly behind me every time.

Only behind you? I've got them to the front & side of me.
& don't get me started on those loudmouths who insist on bellowing out the score on the sky game I've recorded to watch later.
GRRRRRR!!
