“I’m not a knob”. I’ve got news for you.
“I’m not a knob”. I’ve got news for you.If someone asks me to move at an away game, I will, because I'm not a knob. But unless you have a genuine reason to want a specific seat I think you should just get on with it and find another space if someone has taken yours.
Oh the possibilities...You might be his nephew?!
People stand in front of the actual seat they brought at away games
Never seen it myself, closest i have seen was the wolves cup game side stand where they checked you in the right block but after let you go anywhere in that blockWell we do anyway
shoved? It's basic logic. There's less/no people at the front, easier to see if you're short. This isn't some fucking height based system of apartheid I'm trying to impose on you.FFS. Are you for real? “If you’re short…”. Why should short people be shoved at the front? Where does it end? Who else do you think we should put down the front?
Being “flexible on seating” is only part of the away day experience. It really is very simple. There is a seat for everyone, the number and row is on their ticket. If you can’t with sitting/standing in your allocated seat then don’t go.
Go and stand at the fucking front then if there are so many seats free.shoved? It's basic logic. There's less/no people at the front, easier to see if you're short. This isn't some fucking height based system of apartheid I'm trying to impose on you.
I'm skeptical that you actually go to any away games tbh.
god you're boring. Will you next ask people to keep the cheering quiet because it hurts your ears?Go and stand at the fucking front then if there are so many seats free.
I’m not bothered whether you are ‘sceptical’ or not.
It is difficult if the person you are going with has different points and you have to buy at different times.I go to about 10 a season. Normally me and a mate or my sons. We buy linked seats in one transaction.
It’s not difficult.
Yep. Not just people who are pissed though. Some have a “I’ll do what I want“ attitude as we have seen in this thread.In my experience the issue Is not caused by the odd guy trying to sit with a mate or get a relative by him it’s caused n a group of guys pissed or on the marching powder arriving at the last minute and with total disregard for anyone else
The way your behaving at away games is annoying lots of fans, you sit where your ticket states, one day you might find yourself having a row to yourself because you’ve peed a lot of people off into travelling to away games.There's easy solutions to these problems. If you're short/don't want to stand, go to the front, there's usually free spaces.
Standing and being flexible on seating is part of the away day experience. If you don't like it/can't deal with it, don't go.
Never said any of that was acceptable.Was thinking about this earlier. Go to many away games, nothing short of death will stop me. However, in very recent years I’ve felt uncomfortable at most of them because of people’s shit, unreasonably rude and aggressive attitudes.
“Don’t go then” is the mark of a retard.
It’s sort of pointless going to away games in that case. But there are games, such as Bristol where there is ample room to sit.What if you are old? Or infirm? Can't stand for any long periods because of bad legs etc.
Surely if you have a seat that is allocated to you and you wish to sit in that seat, you should be able to sit in that seat and not have your view blocked.
So glad I stopped going to away matches a few years ago, if that's what it's like now.
It's a very selfish attitude I would say
2:58 is like 45 minutes too late in my life.No end of times we arrive at 2.58 someone is generally always sat in our seats.Even when we actually arrive a little early and I tell people in front that is someone's season ticket seat they will be here they just don't listen,and then kick off looking for another seat to sit in.
And that is very sad … the morons are winningYea the white powder boys,and the 4 cans and I’m pissed brigade will soon have it to themselves.
Me the lad and the older grandsons (24,18) for Leeds.
Then I think away days will be few and far between for me. More agro from your own than from the opposition fans these days.
But they are mate,and there is nothing we can do about it. Apart from have a good moan on here.And that is very sad … the morons are winning
Yeah, I don't go.It’s sort of pointless going to away games in that case. But there are games, such as Bristol where there is ample room to sit.
You're far from the first person I've heard say that. Just reading through this thread tells you everything you need to know, people who don't give a shit about anybody else's concerns as what they want is the priority over everything.Yea the white powder boys,and the 4 cans and I’m pissed brigade will soon have it to themselves.

Right-let’s have a whip round for £200 so we can euthanaze him. Barring that-anyone got a muzzle?For the record , the idea that an away game is a free for all isn't true .
I've been to over 300 away games with city and generally since we've been selling out I always head to my seat , we usually have a party of 3 or 4 .
I've never had an issue with people in regards to my seat , partly because I've got a head like an XL bully
But also I'm never in anybody else's seat to have them approach me
Why would the stewards tell you to move away when those are your seats?At the Morecambe game in L2 we had a group sat in our seats, asked them to move, they said no. Explained that Mrs BSB has a sight impairment and needs to sit there to be able to see the game, still no. Stewards told us to move away and sit where she couldn’t really see the game.
Only time we’ve ever had a problem at a home game.
Season ticket holders should get an ejector remote that they can press to spring someone out of the ground if they are in their seat. There may be some health and safety issue though. Unfortunately some humans are obnoxious stains.
They didn’t want to get involved and there were more in the group than there were of us.Why would the stewards tell you to move away when those are your seats?
Should have made a complaint about them.
Agree with everything but the word dross.Unfortunately, Covid accelerated poor behaviour by entitled people you think it was a free pass that allowed them to do anything. At football, it was best illustrated at Euro 2020 final, and not much better in Berlin this July.
I was at both those games and was ashamed to be an England fan - I have been going to CCFC away games regularly since 1986 and have never seen it so bad as now. Obviously, there was a lot of standing earlier so there was self-selection, but at high demand seated PL games, there weren’t issues.
Sadly, older fans will be scared off if the selfish behaviour continues. Not everyone is able to stand for 90 minutes plus, but that wouldn’t even be a consideration for the coked up/pissed up masses. I am 54, and luck enough to still be fit enough to stand but lots aren’t, and it is sad that their support may well be lost, particularly after watching many years of dross.
