Eddie Hitler Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 I think the seats should be like those in funfairs with the restraint only lifting when the whistle blows at half and full time. Once the restraint has gone down the stewards shouldn't let anybody else in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Army 87 Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Perhaps the club could help with this by sending out a questionnaire before season ticket renewal and moving people to where they best fit; Will you want a drink at HT? Yes/No Do you like to leave early? Yes/No Will you sing? Yes/No Will you be able to sit near to some corporate paid away fans without feeling the need to kill them? Yes/No Problem solved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with a bit of social drinking, but when it comes before the team you support... really? WOW Indeed!!

Nagy Mahal Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 IMHO I don't think it makes a difference as if you left on the whistle you'd miss the start of the second half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not bring the whole "booze ruins lives" debate - that isn't what this thread is about What about those who go down for a pie and a cup of tea? I've read some crazy things on OTIB over the years, but for people to be complaining about others leaving their seat at a certain time certainly takes this site to a new low Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it really was a massive problem surely the club (and every other club in the country) would step in to put an end to it? It doesn't affect my experience that much, it's a minor annoyance. I just find it odd that people aren't bothered about missing the thing they've paid to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd hardly call it a "new low" on a forum that over the years has debated Anthony v Tony Rougier, Thatch's "I will boo" rally cry, and the availability of socks.

Up The City! Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 I know during a game I'm going to need the toilet once during each half.

Admin phantom Posted August 22, 2016 Admin Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 I wish I could find the report on Facebook this morning where a photo was posted of a supporter (think it was Portsmouth) where he refused to budge as a lady needed to get up to go to the toilet. Turned out due to her cancer treatment she needed to rush to the loo on a few occasions. Not everyone is dashing for a pint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure no one is complaining about someone that needs the loo etc but repetitive buggering off to the bar or those ST holders that always head off early is surely a valid point to raise? New low to OTIB? Seriously? Just a few Classic OTIB moments in the past few days 1. someone suggested we signed ballotelli 2. in the CSF thread someone was talking about their 'best' away games which involved smashing every window in a pub 3. People were advocating violence against a city fan if he were to celebrate in the Newcastle hospitality area 4. People putting up pictures of Rovers fans girlfriends because of a stupid tweet?

Also I am pretty sure most people don't want to watch that sort of thing, so making sure you don't obstruct people's view of you doing your business is simply disturbing.

My take on this - @RumRed are you saying ALL MODS can't have their own opinion and must agree with certain posters? At this moment in time there have been 141,463 TOPICS, and 2,521,025 POSTS - I would agree that a couple of people moaning about others leaving their seat early is a low Interestingly I've also see posts that @phantom is referring to on other social media, and it does make this site look pathetic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly it's therefore an issue that has struck a cord with a lot of people - on both sides of the argument. Please therefore explain how you arrived at the conclusion that it's "a couple of people moaning" and how this thread is "a low"?
