spudski Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 ...but hey ho...in for a penny and all that. Question...can you change your seat after buying a season ticket? Reason I ask...I've not had a season ticket this season, so have paid for a ticket every game. Have sat all over the stadium, it's been fun. However...next season I'm going to get a season ticket. My dilemma...on four occasions this season I've sat next to people who are bigger than their seats. Literally spilling onto the seats either side. Now I'm not small...6' 3'', and 15 stone...wide shoulders. But I fit the seat space. Yesterday I was sat between a bloke probably taller than me, and spilling onto seats either side and on the other side someone similar. Spent the whole game sat forward and legs closed...couldn't feel my balls by the end of the game :laugh: How do you avoid this situation? Couldn't spend a whole season doing that...just totally uncomfortable. Mental question I know...but when it's for a whole season.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formerly known as ivan Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 A few years ago during the redevelopment of the south stand we were given the first three games of the season to decide if we liked our seats or move. Not sure if this is the norm or if it was just because of the all the upheaval going on though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bar BS3 Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 You mind find the “insulation” a welcome bonus during November - February. Especially evening matches ? I can sympathise with when it’s hot & humid though and you can feel their sweat tricking down your leg..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitySlam Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 You could buy a seat at the end of the row, then even if you're next to a fat person you have plenty of space to lean into.

BSme Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 You can move seat once for free (within range price bracket) during the season... From the FAQ: During the 2019/20 season I decide I would like to move seats, what do I have to do? You must contact the Supporter Services team to discuss options. Permanent seat transfers made during the season will incur the following fees: Reprint fee - this costs £10 per season card and applies to all season cards which need to be reprinted. Seat Move Admin Fee - This costs £10. Supporters are entitled to one move per season without incurring the above Seat Move Admin Fee. Supporters will also pay the difference between the current seat and the seat they are moving to, if their current seat is more expensive than the seat being moved into then no refund will be offered by the club.

Admin Maesknoll Red Posted April 7, 2019 Admin Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 Subtle hints, like leaving weight watchers pamphlets on their seat, progressing to humiliation if subtle doesn’t work.... In all seriousness, in this day and age, with the cost of the seats, there should be enough room without having to resort to fictional children, which if everyone did, there would be an awful lot of empty seats on sell outs.

Negan Posted April 8, 2019 Report Share Posted April 8, 2019 You're going about this all wrong, fight fat with fat. Get down to KFC, Scoff down some big daddy's every day until the new season starts, take your spot and have 3 seats for the price of one.

For a couple of seasons I had a bloke sat next to me who we called Satchel Man. He'd always bring this bloody school-type satchel with him which had his flask, sarnies etc and which encroached into my personal space. He'd never take the satchel off and just lay it on the floor. Oh no, he had it on his shoulder all through the game, nudging me throughout. Thank F- the sad git has moved now and I have some decent matchday companions.
