Quote from: Jenny on February 25, 2019, 09:38:37 amThose who wish to sit just make it difficult for themselves by chosing to sit towards the back, and therefore when people come in towards the end they have no option but to go towards the front. It is stubbornness on both sides to be honest, but it grinds my gears to see people moaning all match about people stood infront of them when they have deliberately chose to sit towards the back. And instead of moving, they just moan moan moan all match... what kind of experience is that??The stewards were bloody useless too, we ended up stood towards the back on Saturday, and the whole of the block was stood. One of our party is disabled and realised in the first half she wasn't going to be able to stand all game (and no one in our block was seated) but there was not many options for her to move to somewhere where she would be able to see the game and sit down.... so sensibly, she went and spoke to the stewards to ask if she could move to the side stand where there were clearly many seats available only to be told no and that she should tell people to sit down herself... yes, clearly her responsibility to ask a whole block to sit down. She had disabled written on her bloody ticket. In the end they let her move but only because she had asked to speak to someone more senior about it.Do they also have no option but to stand up, or is there perhaps a seat handily provided for them somewhere nearby?

Is that less important than someones choice to sit towards the back? There are room in stands to accommodate both people who want to stand and people who want to sit.... It is a shame that supporters cannot seem to respect each other enough to make this happen in harmony.We seem to be able to make it happen at home games in the South Stand.
