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.

I think the only logical way to do it would be to leave a section soley used for the reserved seats.

Well if somebody is sat in your seat number you ask them to move

Like the Barcelona fans did to me back in 2006 despite the top tier being only a quarter full

All seats are still given a number , the stewards request that you sit in your alloted seat until the game starts , if there are then seats available and you want to move , you can move

Bloody hell It's 40 years since we put a man on the moon , 20 years since we started putting wheels on suitcases , It is not that hard to sort out if [ [sizeIF[/size ] the will is there

Quote: reffy "Then you would go and sit with them in the unreserved seats won't you, I thought that may have been obvious. How would you know if they are reserved or not? Just becuase they are empty does not mean someone isn't still supping downstairs or late. The point folk are making is they want to choose their spot for the season. Fair enough. But dont you see the irony in them still wanting the option to move to another part of the stand when its convenient? Can that be done in a gig or theatre? For whatever reason, LSV (not the club) have said 'allocated or unallocated' - not both. When the stand isn't even half full I dont see what the problem is but I'm sure LSV have one.

Have we actually put a Man on the Moon?? It's funny you should say that because If you believe the 3 wise men in the Hilton Arms today, then this could very well be the worlds biggest ever lie
