Hurrah!

"Please note that supporters should purchase all required tickets in a single transaction to ensure all required seats are together. Unreserved standing tickets also available.

When purchasing tickets for the west stand please specify which side of the stand you wish to sit as once you enter the stadium you cannot pass the tunnel area as it is a sterile area which cannot be accessed."

Quote from LSV site and, hopefully, a straightforward question!

Does this mean that this match has reserved seating for the West Stand? How will this affect swipe card holders who wish to sit next to each other?

As I see it, it’s unreserved seating but once you decide to go in, say the South Turnstile/End of the West stand, you can’t change your mind and go to the North End of the West stand as you will not be allowed past the tunnel.

If you want to sit with your mates, you need to go in together or make prior arrangements.

The LSV request for people to buy tickets in batches seems to imply reserved seating, especially as only standing tickets are said to be for unreserved seating but we await guidance.

I think that's so that you and your mates get tickets for the same section of the West stand.

Ah yes.....could be?

Nope, no reserved seating. That was a mistake on LSV's part.

Thank you

what was the mistake?

Supporters have been passing from one side of the West stand to the other without any intervention from the stewards at every home game up to now. Hopefully this will continue

Just going to say that. It looks like a little walkway has been made just above the tunnel.

It would be good to be reassured that the 'walkway' above the tunnel is not part of the 'sterile area' and that fans can continue to walk across above the tunnel.

It won't continue forever, as what people are actually walking accross is the press box area, which is currently out of action due to a cock up when the electric sockets were installed.

why would fans need to walk across it when theres exits on both sides of the tunnel area?

I presume that people want to sit closer to the try line that Leigh are attacking.Therefore one half you would sit in the south side of stand & in the 2nd half you would walk across the "walkway" & sit in the north side of main stand.Simple is it not.but I bet your bottom dollar that this simple practise that's doing no harm will be stopped
