Seat Counters 25/26

[bobbyowenquiff]

My mate went with his 10 year old nephew, said they were all over the ground, including a full block near to his seat, he said they were loud but didn't cause any trouble, he did say that utd fans round him had caused the stewards more problems, wanting them to be hrown out. He in the Fergi Stand

United had lots of trouble with the Rangers fans as we did with Celtic. But the Old Firm are a different level in terms of causing trouble.

He would be banned from every Tesco shop, whether they would or could enforce it,is a different matter.

But this person hasn't been found guilty of anything yet!

L0 - 346
L1- 166
L3 - 883
Total: 1395

Exeter: 10pm.

Thing about Exeter is you can only get 2 or more seats together in the 3rd tiers when i was looking yesterday. I'm on the Cup scheme and have been moved from SSL3 as has my Dad who sits the seat behind me.

I was moved to 013 & him to 015 (despite being put next to each other or with 1 or 2 seats of each numerous times over the years when having to move!), he cant make it so decided i'll take my 7 year old nephew as he's been to 2 games this year and is enjoying it so want to make sure we get him there as much as we can.

So when i looked to get us 2 seats together pretty much everything is the bottom 2 tiers were single seats (I may have missed the odd block), best i could do was row 15 in 308. Those 500 + in L0 & L1 might be tough to shift if 95% are single seats

I used to take my nephews to FA Cup games too. Relocating and buying seats together is hard work.

Must admit, its my own fault for leaving it so late to move, should have done about a week or so ago but Christmas etc... i forgot.

Was just pointing out at this stage the amount of single seats might be an issue

He may be banned from City and lost his season card but the ban is based around the old law of trespass , it’s like being banned from ur local pub , if he is sniffed out in the stadium all they can do is ask u to leave ,if u don’t they can then do u for trespass ,

Just keep ur head down , go to a different part of the stadium wear a hat etc ? , if sussed out just leave politely, there is nothing they can do

Unfortunately for us, City work on zero tolerance.
Their reasoning is, if we are seen to do nothing and something further happens with that individual, they will be hung out to dry by the media for not acting on the original event.
Guilty to proven innocent is their mantra.
Ive had a mate go through exactly the same experience, took over a year before the case was closed.

How football is allowed to make it's on laws is beyond me.

They dont there are many pieces of legislation that apply to sporting venues

Legislation - SGSA

Safety at sports grounds in the UK is controlled by a range of legislation.

Yep it's a weird one as so many regulars from the pre takeover days just can't be arsed with the CL

Not necessarily down to the price of the tickets but definitely more noticeable after the capacity increased from 47,000 without any improvement to the transport infrastructure

Either huge traffic driving to midweek home games or going on the train and getting home after midnight
They can just about tolerate it for PL midweek fixtures but nothing else.

Yep, that’s my position nowadays. The Matchday bus is a saviour for prem games but the overall hassle of getting there/back for chumps league as well means I’m out

The Matchday bus has been a fantastic addition and needs to be encouraged and expanded.

Bus 7 in particular could go further up the A6 and offer itself to those people who were stranded at Piccadilly after the penalty shootout defeat v Real Madrid which didn't finish until 25 minutes before the last train to Buxton

That night certainly finished a few regulars off.
