I reckon this thread will go on for about 4 pages. The real professional moaners haven't had their two penneth yet.

It sounds like it is causing a combination of season ticket holders, other home supporters, away supporters and the stewards a whole load of HASSLE

Hey, you are spot on there. Just wait until the 'We should switch our home games to Friday night' brigade of perennial moaners get on board !

It shouldn't cause any hassle if the people who choose to sit in reserved seats opened their eyes and used their noggins. Like I said I chose to buy an early season ticket and guarantee the same seat every game. Anyway if you have a problem with it the email address to tell the club is on the website. Please don't try and shame people into not having a reserved seat because you don't like it.

There are unreserved seats so it shouldn't be difficult to find one, obviously it won't help those who don't know what 'Reserved' means.

Totally agree reffy.......................for a change.

Reserved Seats at the LSV for crowds of 2k....THIS TOPIC IS SO FUNNY !
well done

The purchase of a season ticket is a demonstration of loyalty to the club with money paid up front help the club cash flow across the year. In return, ever since we moved to the LSV, the option of a reserved seat has quite rightly been made available. This practice is the norm for virtually every professional sporting club throughout the land.

It is not rocket science to manage the process, to the benefit of what are likely to include many of the clubs most loyal fans - people like us who have followed the team for many tens of years, home and away, through thick and thin. The vast majority of rugby and football clubs nationwide recognise this brand of loyalty by quite rightly guaranteeing the seats of their season ticket holders.

You cannot find an alternative group of 4 seats anywhere near our reserved seats 10 to 15 minutes before kick off. We have also developed a friendly and valued rapport with lots of other season ticket holders who sit in the immediate area of our reserved seats.

This issue will become and increasingly sensitive as the numbers increase week on week.

I urge the club to resolve the problem with LSV as a matter of urgency. It is too important to leave it to individual supporters to fend for themselves or to expect us to take the matter up as individuals with the LSV.

Lowton Sparow is absolutely spot on.
A reserved seat in a guaranteed prime viewing position (via a season ticket) enhances the whole match day experience for majority of the most loyal fans.
This will become increasingly important as attendances continue to rise.
You don't need a Marketing Degree to work this concept out - it is so obvious that all clubs in all sports do it.

I usually go in the North stand but have to agree with the reserved seats, as Reffy said "There's plenty of other seats to sit on".
If you go on your own I suppose it don't really matter where you sit, but you may like the people around you and as they're reserved seats you build up a rapport with them. You may be a family group who like to sit together and theres all sorts of other reasons.
Bottom line is, "IF" you want a reserved seat buy a season ticket and ask for one. Simples tch.
