Heres an idea that section in the middle, let it be selected by seat and pay £10-20 extra

I'm not bothered one jot by this as I'm a North Stand season ticket, but have you any idea how it would work? If season tickets are for reserved seats but match tickets are unreserved, then they would have to have stickers on season ticket holder seats, or how would someone who buys match tickets know which seat they're actually allowed to sit in?

Perhaps we could be revolutionary and have row and seat numbers on the tickets to match the seats.
Could be on to someting their all these stadiums theatres concerthalls cinemas in the world.

Then that would be a case of it being entirely reserved seating...what happens if you have a season ticket, but the kids and the wife don't and they fancy coming to a game? As already pointed out, more people preferred unreserved seating than reserved seating when applying for season tickets.

As most people may not have been asked you do not know that is true.

thanks for shouting at us all, but the point is i pay in advance ,so we could be brilliant or rubbish, but they have got my cash, the very least i expect is to have my own seat, if i went which i do often go to the theatre i purchase a ticket and it has a row and seat number on it, i do not have to be sat in the theatre 30 orior to curtain up, why should a rl game be any different.

I noticed it on the season ticket application form, but I didn't tick it as I was buying one for the North Stand.

am i correct in thinking that you matt work at dw stadium, which is also a multi purpose sports ground, as you well know mate i have a st for latics, there is no sticker i don't think on my seat, so why can't lsv operate the same way dw stadium does, its not rocket science now is it. if the pie eaters can do, why not us leythers.

Buy a Corporate box for the season then, therefore you are guarenteed your own seat, and the club will have more money.... everybody is happy then

If you buy a season ticket for a stand that is all seating then your ticket should have a seat number. Paying your money up front entitles you to a little consideration, one of these is turning up at whatever time you wish and not finding someone who fancies an odd game sitting in your seat. It is not top of the range crowd control it is a basic requirement of a simple ST seating operating system.
If a casual turns up for the game the ST seats are flagged up as "in use" and a ticket is issued for one that is not.

What happens if you choose your reserved seat for the year and a couple of mates decide to come to the Widnes game but the nearest available seat is 40 yards away?

Or suppose you get stuck next to someone you'd not normally spend any time with and your preferred ways of enjoying the game are totally different?

These are 2 things that have all but killed the atmosphere in all seater football stadia.

That small section in the middle for those who want to pick a seat

The press bench mo?

Good point but no doubt they`d complain when they took the occasional friend for the odd big game and were unable to sit together...... ........Stick to unreserved until we get crowds actually needing a reserved status.

Then you would go and sit with them in the unreserved seats won't you, I thought that may have been obvious.
