it was mentioned on sky that the local authority have made us lose seats due to them not being numbered so can not be used or something along those lines! personally i think there all kill joys!

OAM, what you didnt see on telly was the Westy stand... hundreds of empty seats there AND they were NOT unreserved... ridiculous for people like you to miss out with perfectly good seats available.

It was quoted that the reduced capacity was for health and safety reasons in the unreserved stands to allow freedom of movement apparently

We were in the east stand and it was very clear that the west stand had a large number of empty seats.

Carry on playing like they did today and there will be a lot more next time....!

If the Council wouldn't let the club sell tickets for un-numbered seats why couldn't someone get a paint can out and get some numbers on them PDQ also if that is correct how come we had a record breaking attendance for the first match? Sounds like some jobsworth trying to make a name for himself. I heard something on the local news about it being for freedom of movement or something like that - again if that is the case why were all the empty seats in large blocks on the edges ? :conf:

I don't understand it. The ground is all seater so isn't that good enough to allow it to be full which is about 1,000 more then were there today?
