Middlesbrough seating/standing

[SIMMO SAYS]

I don't have a problem with people standing where they like but if the person who has that seat wants then you need to move.

Gold thread title!

I asked how to correct the spelling but no advice was forthcoming, sorry. My fingers are sometimes too fat and edge on other keys.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Never caused an issue to us, although the 'knock-on' effect where we couldn't move etc etc has caused others shouting for a steward.

That just about sums you and your attitude up in its true light.

I asked what time the stadium opened in order to get to my seat as neither I nor my brother in law can stand for 2 + hours. They said getting to my seat at any time pre kick off was not a problem etc. As far as warning them goes I am sure their intelligence about away fans would have told them more than any e mail could.

I have every sympathy with those who want a seat for specific reasons (age, health, great view, whatever) but we all know that it isn't always possible depending on how the ground fills up, how it is stewarded and the attitude of your fellow fans.

Without reopening the whole allocated seat argument in full, the basic rule is that if you want to be guaranteed your allocated seat, then you get in the ground as close to opening as you can and it won't be a problem. If you turn up 30 minutes before or less then you just have to take your chances.

Of course, whether everyone in front of you will stand for 90 minutes is another matter altogether. With Boro being a newish ground, at least the legroom allows people to sit. Places like Charlton make it virtually impossible for any non-oompah loompah's to sit down!

Why not contact boro and ask them to be seated in the disabled area ? maybe they could help

Think BG has been on the juice

Hey BG. You never did explain what method you used to convince the ticket office to sell you boro tickets over the phone 5 hours before they were available by phone and without the required loyalty points

If you've ever been involved in any kind of service industry, you sometimes get customers who you just want to to.........go away.....and the quickest way of doing that is by giving what they want, even if it mans bending the rules a bit. Path of least resistance and all that. I think this is one of those customers.

Better still ask to be seated in the dyslexia section. No one sits in the correct seats there

Just phoned gave my name and fan number for both of us and asked when I could buy 2 tickets and they said you are eligible now if you want so I paid for them. Perhaps Dazzer 6666 is right.

All well and good but perhaps at the expense of someone who played by the rules that had been laid out quite clearly.

 

[My Name Is Gully]

wassat - hiccup.

 

[Boro5707]

Yeah of course they are.
If 2k fans decide they're not gonna sit, there isn't a great deal the stewards can do,

The stewards may well check your tickets as you walk up the steps to the blocks (as they do in certain blocks for the home fans). If you ticket is for block 46 and your entering entrance to block 47, the stewards will send you back to the concorse to enter in entrance 46. They won't stop people standing together unless your in different blocks and then they may well.

Charlton away end was fully sold out. Being as in most places people actually stoof up in the half way up the stand bit and around us we had around 4-5 people sharing 2 seats id say not many were in there actual seat.... And all was fine in the world

I stoof up for the whole game, I jimped up and down when we scored and then I fill over.

Title should read standing but not sure how to correct it.


How do I do it please?

Type it right in the first place and check spelling before posting.

I cannot stand for the whole game, but when I get to any away ground, I ask a steward if I can move to a front row. It's never failed.

Edit to correct autocorrect

 

[Prince Monolulu]

My dickit is for Bolocks 49, and I am sh1tting in ROE 32, seet 23. I hope nobody KNICKS my spot but whatever.

 

[Creaky]

I cannot stand for the whole game, but when I get to any away ground, I ask as reward if I can move to a front row. It's never failed.

I'm hoping to be able to do the same - the excitement is going to be bad enough for my heart - standing as well will probably tip me over
