The point is no matter what time you arrive to the game you can stand wherever you want. Just because you get there early doesn’t mean you should have the best spot.

And just because you arrive late doesn’t mean you’re a drunken yob! People are allowed to drink before a game and shouldn’t have to listen to people looking down their noses commenting. The whole attitude of I arrived first, I should be allowed a huge radius of space is slightly pathetic IMO.

i'm not saying that, what i'm saying is don't be turning up after the games kicked off disrupting ppl that have turned up on time forcing yourself into space that isn't there in a rush.

Fair enough disturb people as little as possible and be polite to others when moving past but you still have to stand somewhere, no matter what time you arrive. Lateness is not a crime! And maybe if people were more accommodating it would be easier for everyone to fit in the stand. Its the attitude of some people when others are trying to find space in the stand that is annoying.

Most theatres/ concert venues and the such like have central computer systems so all they have to do is click on and it prints a vacant seat ticket for the person to sit on.

Surely that is better than having masses of tickets sprawled over the place, with some numbers missing, some not.

Maybe there would have to be a service charge if paying on CC and or Debit card (shouldnt really give ideas)*, but wouldnt this prevent this kind of thing happening year after year.

Which point are you addressing here?

The club have sold us season tickets for seats where they have already sold season tickets. What point are you making around the credit or debit card?
