Literally the front row? I was told that the first 2 rows were for restricted mobility and the only way you could get those specific seats was to either successfully get through on the phone (good luck) or physically go to the ticket office (I had to drive from Birmingham to Cov to get my Hull tickets) because you can’t select a seat online and they don’t even release those seats (what I was told) to general sale.
I’m guessing you’re talking about specific individuals, but AFAIK that’s the only way they got a ticket in the front two rows for the Blackburn and Hull games. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I was at Blackburn and front rows were Leamington and Warwick supporters club only. Shame really for us city living fans deemed not as important as the farmers and having a poorer choice of seat
