Bar BS3 Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 I can't my head around, why in the year 2014, any fan is expected to sit the best part of 2 hours on hard plastic seats. Why couldn't a whole stand have the same sort of seating as those in the Premier...? They aren't so special...have been their years, so they are obviously durable. It would have been great if our Club could have set a prescident and incorporated Premier type seating throughout the ground as well as the often discussed safe standing. Set a president.... And do what MK Dons have had for several years and Brighton have in their new ground..?! No thanks. Football is already to comfortable, killing the atmosphere.

ChubStixx Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 Just bought a couple in the premier seating. Still a few left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsontour Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 This is weird. Has this thread had an effect? Certainly they weren't available online before, or over the phone when I rang the ticket office on Tuesday or Wednesday. It's very interesting. Prem Seats DONT typically go on general sale, I certainly haven't seen that happen in anything other than cup games. What that does suggest is that either this forum is the catalyst for change or, which I suggest is more likely, the club has a strategy to release tickets when a sell out is approaching and the reason that hasn't happened before is that we haven't been approaching a sell out for some time.

But why would they not sale seats at the premium price? That doesn't make sense, does it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodness me. Does this mean that some of the corporates will be enjoying their cappuccinos and prawn and avocado on ciabatta sat next to some grubby oik? Oh the humanity!

Oh the humanity!Based on my experience of corporate hospitality at football it's the opposite. Some, though not all, guests at corporate events regard it as an opportunity to knock back as much free booze as possible and behave in a rather rude way. They are the oiks!

WhistleHappy Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 Thirty Quid! ! .... I'd rather find someone with a shed roof to stand on...

Leveller Posted September 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 Premier looks to be full! A huge improvement. But where did those 175 seats for sale suddenly appear from? Total Prem seats? Guessing 600? Ironically, sitting in the sold out Dolman, I can reach out and touch 7 empty seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin1988 Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 Set a president.... And do what MK Dons have had for several years and Brighton have in their new ground..?! No thanks. Football is already to comfortable, killing the atmosphere. Nice seats are killing the atmosphere? What a load of bollocks. Now I've heard it all.

Alex_BCFC Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 First time ever in Premier Seating today - had a really good day and people in there were just normal fans mostly it seemed to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin1988 Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 Have you been to MK dons or Brighton..? I have been to Brighton, yes - in fact the atmosphere was excellent. I've also been to plenty of grounds with nice seats and good atmosphere, and plenty with wooden cast-offs and bad atmosphere. Your correlation is nonsensical.

Robin1988 Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 I went to Brighton our first season there and it was awful, so which game was excellent..? Both. Funnily enough the second game had a far better atmosphere than the first. Now it was also a far better game, but maybe they'd put in some less comfortable chairs?

Leveller Posted September 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 For some reason the post I tried to create during the match didn't work, so I'm bumping the thread now. It was great to see the Premier seats virtually full on Saturday - it made such a difference not to have a sea of empty red seats on view from the Dolman. Ironically in my single seat in Dolman E (one of two or three available when I booked on Wednesday) I could reach out & touch seven empty ones; so yes there are lots of ST holders not turning up in other stands too (no complaints). What intrigues me is that there were NO Premier seats on sale earlier in the week, as is usual. Suddenly, out of (guesstimating) 600, I understand 175 were made available online later in the week. Can someone clarify that? Does the club have a large chunk of Premier seats held back for scouts, guests etc that it usually doesn't sell, but is making available now that sellouts are more likely? Before billywedlock jumps down my throat (yet again) for not buying a ST, this is a polite enquiry, not a moan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudski Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Set a president.... And do what MK Dons have had for several years and Brighton have in their new ground..?! No thanks. Football is already to comfortable, killing the atmosphere. I think you missed my point... No where is comfortable except the Prem seating. If you are going to have seating...then at least make it comfortable with leg room. If you want to stand...then make a safe standing area. What's the point of having seating that's bloody uncomfortable, and where your knees are stuck in the back of the head of the person in front of you? If I had a choice...I'd stand. If I had to choose what was more comfortable...standing or sitting in the majority of seats at most grounds...I'd choose standing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice if the club could let us know whether some will be released in the last few days, if as expected the rest of the stadium will be pretty fully booked by then.
