The ticketing for a lot of the games has been a shambles. I turned up to ENG v IRE game at Huddersfield to find that they had given my seat to some kids dancing at half time.

Not sure who told you that? The south stand was sold out 3283 capacity, the stewards were useless at keeping the yellow walkways empty. This said we stood right in the middle at the back and were crowded but not cramped, never felt in any way dangerous!

Due to some stupid rule over the north stand only having enough toilet facilities the capacity was capped at 2010. When we were in SL the north stand held over 3000. That is the reason for the empty space in there.

As for the bad view in the east stand, I have sat in those seats and you can still see the play from there. Admittedly the dugouts may block some part of the middle of the pitch.

Anyway most people have commented positively about their shay experience yesterday. I am biased mind!

it was actually one of the head stewards that told me that; i was talking to him and said its overly cramped in this stand and quite dangerous (certainly where i was on the right hand side, people were getting knocked over when anyone tried to move and people couldn't go the toilet or anything). don't know whether the steward was chatting crap or not then if you said they reduced the north stand limit.

We had a decent amount of room in the top right hand corner of the South Stand.

Yesterday was only the second time the North Stand has been opened since it was 'refurbished' IIRC, pretty sure it's correct that the capacity is limited because there's only a small set of toilets and only one catering van.

To be fair, if you turn up that late, you deserve to lose your seats.......

Half time.........never mind!

This. Plenty of space in the right hand corner, was surprised at all the room that was available.

I noticed many off the Stewards were actually bouncers from the bars in town, probably supplied by the security company that manages the doors at the bars in town! Now I don't want to tar them all with the same brush but I don't think they are brightest group of individuals in the world. I doubt if some of them could actually say executive decision!

If it isn't stated you're going to have a restricted view when purchasing a ticket then you should be entitled to some if not all your money back.
Had this at Harlequins/Broncos with my son and fans/stewards walking past the lower seats throughout the game. I complained & they gave us two free tickets for the next game (which I gave away to my club as I couldn't use them..)

can't imagine the likes of leeds or wakefield doing that!

Well as the law stands they would have no option, if it was patenetly obvious to the people running the stadium that there is a restricted view (for whatever reason) then they MUST disclose this. Effectively it is misrepresentation, you buy a ticket for an event & you expect to be able to see all of it unimpeded (within reason of course.) This applies probably even more so to ticketed seats than standing but all the same if they know that the view is restricted it is down to the seller/stadium management to notify the buyer in advance of urchase..

I'd be fecking livid tbh if I couldn't see a 1/3 of the pitch or had stewards et al obstructing the view throughout

Yeah that'd be us

As I said its a discrace they didn't move you, there were plenty of seats further back and towards the media. If they hadn't have moved us I'd have been kicking off and demanding money back.

As for the post saying you could see something, you may have seen the occasional foot or leg but no more that that.

Finally got sorted today. Thank you to Kevan Williams for refunding the 4 tickets I bought for Halifax.
