Southampton Seating

[Chinman3000]

All agree on first come first serve seating for the saints match? Theres 6 of us going and our "allocated" seats arent anywhere near each other.

No ones going to be a dick about this are they.......

I like to choose my own seat when I get to the ground, preferably right at the back in any ground I go to.

lol! every single 'big' away game we get this.

and the answers always the same: sit in your allocated seat! we did it at walsall, we did it at pompey... we didnt do it at stoke (and it was a f***ing nightmare for some!)

Sit in your seat - makes it a lot easier and is the way it works at every bloody game

Believe me they will, I had a couple of basket cases expecting me to move at leicester when we were no where near sold out and there were seats everywhere. I remember the stewards at st marys last year never even made the effort and just left people to stand in the aisles though.

Now, I really don't understand the issue with this one.

I have been to hundreds of away games and rarely, maybe never, have I sat in my allocated seat. Also, I have NEVER had an issue with anyone wanting me to move. Maybe I've just been lucky?

This really is a favourite of mine:

Veggie Haggis Recipe

1 small carrot, very finely chopped
1 small piece of yellow turnip, very finely chopped
1 medium onion, finely chopped
8 mushrooms
1 clove garlic
1/3 cup dry red lentils
600 ml vegetable stock or water
red kidney beans, mashed
1 tsp dried thyme
½ tsp dried rosemary
¼ tsp cayenne pepper
¼ tsp nutmeg
salt & black pepper
1 1/3 cup fine oatmeal
1 ½ Tbsp lemon juice

Saute onion in 1 Tbsp oil for 5 minutes, then add carrot, turnip, mushrooms, and garlic for a further 5 minutes.

Add the lentils and ¾ of the stock or water, bring to boil then reduce to a simmer.

Blend kidney beans with remaining stock/water and add to the pot with seasonings. Cook for 10-15 minutes.

Add oatmeal, simmer another 10-15 minutes, adding water if necessary. Mixture should end up loose and moist, but not runny.

Stir in lemon juice.

Spoon mixture into a lightly oiled 5x9" loaf pan and bake for 30 minutes on 375F/190C.

Serve with mashed neeps (turnips) and mashed spuds

Oh...so people are going to be a dick about it.

Well I didnt do it at pompy, i didnt do it at bristol, i didnt do it at birmingham, I didnt do it at Watford, I didnt do it at Ipswich and Im not doing it at southampton! mwahahaha

The stewards at Southampton have always been very strict about people sitting/standing in their allocated seat. It's a sellout so I guess they will do so again.

 

[Chinman3000]

my point is if nobody complains there wont be an issue.

But I guess when I said "All agreed" on here it was asking a bit much....

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Depends what it says on the ticket as well. If it says unallocated seating then it really is a free for all.

 

[The Optimist]

All agree assumes everyone going to Southampton reads NSC. I reckon significantly less than half the fans going to Southampton read NSC (no evidence - just a wild guess) so even if everyone on here agrees (which they wont) it doesn't mean anything. If everyone does sit where they like then what happens to the groups of 4 of 5 who have tickets next to each other and try to take their seats close to kick-off? There wont be 4 or 5 seats together and they'll want people to move and it'll all go wrong. You might say it's their fault for not arriving earlier but surely the point of having reserved seats is that you don't need to arrive early.

Don't shoot the messenger, matey. I'm all for first-come/first-served.

the question really should be...why wouldnt you just sit in your allocated seat? its no one elses fault you didnt buy them next to your mates. thats tough shit in fairness!

 

[Pretty pink fairy]

i went to Reading one year ,plenty of seats available, steward came up and asked to see my ticket then told me that i couldn't sit where i was and that i had to go to my seat, told him he was being stupid too which he replied " your being filmed "

 

[The Optimist]

At Watford the guys in front of us got asked to move just before kick-off by the people whose seats they were in, they agreed to move. It turned we were in their seats, there were 5 of us and we were in 2 of our seats plus 3 immediately next to our seats. They asked us to move which we agreed to. We then asked the 3 people in our remaining seats if they'd move. They refused so we got screwed and had to split up. This is why I much prefer grounds where, when sold out or close to sold out, sitting in your allocated seat is enforced. When the away end is nowhere near selling out, like at Cardiff, unreserved seating does seem more sensible.

Lots of reasons. Maybe the were circumstances beyond my control that meant I could'nt get the tickets next to each other. Maybe my seat is bang smack in the middle of a family with children and they wont appriciate my "enthusiasm". Maybe im taking a disabled brother to his first game and need to be with him.

Why wouldnt you just not be a dick about it?
