Is this one of 2/3 A Status clubs in the British game? Imagine being one of the others!

At this stage, I'd just take a full refund!!!

Mate we had that problem too - we have two season tickets in the North and we took one extra person. Bought a ticket for a seat next to ours. 5 minutes before the game, a family turns up and says the ticket we bought is one of their season ticket seats. Not the first time its happened either.

Another gripe of mine and im sure a few others is the fact that the 'corporate hospitality' guests start spilling out of their rooms or boxes after the game has kicked off. This happens at the start of the first half and also the second.

For someone who sits in the north stand either side of the 'hospitality' seats it is very annoying as it causes a big distraction and sometimes obstructed views as these people find their seats in dribs and drabs.

Why the hell cant the club get them in their seats a couple of minutes before kickoff?

They have a chaperone so there is no excuse.

Like someone else has stated the club seem to value the 'corporate' 'fans' more than the real regular fan.

Also i bet the 'corporate' hospitality venues didn't run out of food, drink or anything else for that matter.

The club needs to sort out all these issues and fast. Maybe greg would like to take a print off of this thread and show it to his colleagues so that they can see how unhappy the average fan really is.

i'd say that's a fair point, i complain about the latecomers from the pub pushing in and disturbing ppl in the southstand, and at theatre's they've got them signs up about not being allowed in till a conveniant point if you turn up late.

If they held a fans forum this week it would be a lot more heated than the last one...

Deal with it! They pay the same ticket price as you and have every right to stand where they want! Just because you're daft enough to show up 2 hours b4 kick off to get a spot doesn't mean everyone else has too!

Its been going on for ages this but last night really took the biscuit.

If they cant drag themselves away from the food and drink to watch the live game then lock the buggers in till half time.

Never mind deal with it! I make sure I get in early to the stadium so I can have a decent view of the game I've paid £17 to see, just for some 6ft drunken idiot swanning in 5 mins after kick off and standing in front of me. It happens every game and it's infuriating.

If you were queuing for something and somebody turned up 5 mins before the doors opening and stod in front of you you'd be mighty annoyed methinks.

I think the problem will get less and less through the season as space becomes more prevalent.

I agree with that, very annoying when you are standing trying to watch the game, and then all of a sudden about 5 6 foot 3 men come and stand infront of you...
