steveoafc Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 If the capacity for Sheffield United is to be 50% and we have more ST holders in there than that, then I think the club were always on a loser trying to find a fair way to allocate.

steveoafc Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 ^^^if that's the case then it should be open only to season ticket holders who have a seat in the north stand. I think that's the case isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzlatic Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I suspect if it is it will be on an unreserved seating basis with first come first served up to the designated ramp up capacity. Those who don't make it in time can go in the RRE. Now this will really be taking the piss! Why? What's a better solution than first come first served for season ticket holders? Unless you're thinking they'll just make the tickets available to everyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hands on Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 The 'fair' way would be to say which season ticket holders by seat numbers will be allowed in so that those who aren't can change the voucher for a seat in the main stand if they want to sit on the side. First come first served will lead to chaos and result in disgruntled supporters being told to go and sit in the RRE once it is full. You don't buy a season ticket to have to race with others for a seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't buy a season ticket to have to race with others for a seat. They'll just let all season ticket holders in, surely? A few won't be able to make it anyway so the numbers shouldn't exceed however many they've been told can go in. Dunn could start Brown, Croft & Philliskirk again just to make sure......

Dick_Valentine Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I won't be taking my seats so that's two less for them to worry about. Going furniture shopping for our new house this weekend and worryingly its my favoured option over watching the :censored:e on display at BP.

Stagger Lee Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 I expect it to be open I expect lots of teething problems / cold pies /new stewards that have a hint of Barry Owen about them / followed by a hollow feeling as Latics get beat..... But overall there will be a sense of relief that the promised land is on it's way. The next home game will be team win / pies and beer galore / party atmosphere / happy clappers everywhere / dawn of a new era stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youngen Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 On a different note, it will be about time we have a shop open around the ground. Myself and the missus have recently got new keys and I said on Saturday (somewhat foolishly) lets get keyrings for them from Latics before the game. I had no idea that the club doesnt have a single merchandise stall/shop anyway around the ground on a match day. Someone correct me if I missed one, but that stinks of :censored: commercial and marketing. At least stick a makeshift stall up selling scarves shirts etc instead of making fans go to Oldham Town Centre to Mike Ashleys shop for it.

oafc1955 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Are we in this stand on Saturday or what? It's ridiculous that we are barely 48 hours away from the game and still no clarification on seating arrangements. It wouldn't surprise me for there to be another sob story of how we've been foiled once again by safety issues and red tape etc.etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
