Well if every one sits in allocated seats more chance of being okay. Did ask after Fulham about having a designated family area for away games. Still in the too hard pile. What if they're allocated in the middle of a group of meatheads?

Should add a family will buy tickets together. So why should they have to search for seats when they have organised themselves unlike the muppet earlier in thread who is in a group travelling together but bought tickets separately

For the life of me, I have never quite understood the problem with sitting in the 'right' seat. I've never understood why seats are allocated. It's a similar situation to the allocated seating arrangements on the Supporters Club coaches. When booking you are allocated a seat and told that you are responsible for that seat and the back of the seat in front of you, but the reality is that when you board the coach your seat has been taken by someone else and the stewards don't want to know. ''Sit anywhere you like mate'' they say when I've asked them to assist. So what is the point of printing your seat number on the front of the ticket, and a warning on the back?

A lot of people in here seem to live in a perfect everything's simple world where if u do things a different way your a 'muppet', suppose that's what happens when school only teach you to live as part of the system.

Funny but I don't recall allocated seating being a problem when we've played at Wembley or Cardiff. We could only buy 2 tickets each (or at least with each preference group we are in) so it was not possible for big groups to arrange to sit together. Yet the singing etc. still originated in the part of the ground behind the goal. So, if 35-40,000 of us can behave and sit where allocated, why can 4,000 not do the same?

Im 6'4 have big hair and like to stand and if the bars open probably go for a piss about 4 times during the match. I also like a pie. Now If seats were unallocated I could plonk myself out of harms way eating my pie or you could move. I hope non of you are allocated a seat behind or next to me; look out for a tall, big haired, small bladdered pie eating twat. I'm a short, no haired, small bladdered, pie eating twat. If you sit in front of me, can we swap seats?

All seater on Sat is a good practice ready for our spanking new UWE stadium. The new fangled seating only cult is coming sooner than you think
Understand the stewards at Coventry have been getting in their pepper spray practise too ! Those home fans are revolting over a move away to the Butts Stadium.

As already mentioned, unless you were present at Gigg Lane during this seasons 3-0 defeat, your opinions are void & should be made to sit behind the goal at netting level.

Sorry astaf, you normally make sound sense but that is not!! If you had unallocated seating all over the stadium then the problems you get in the away end would be replicated all over the stadium. When people go to cinema or any other entertainment with seats you usually have to sit in the seat you have bought. I see no problem with that. UTG! Lots of cinemas I go to you just turn up and are expected to behave like an adult and sit where the spare seats are. If you get there early, you get the better seats. The only exceptions to that are places where you get to pick your seats when booking. As that isn't an option for most away matches, I don't see why you should be expected to sit in whatever crap seat you've been given next to someone you don't know from Harry who happened to be stood behind you in the club shop. But that's sometimes the case with unallocated seating isn't it? You get in the ground go and sit in a seat that's perhaps central and it gradually gets full and then at 5 to 3 some latecomers come and expect to sit where they want. There are several issues connected to the whole thing isn't there? People coming in just before the start who expect to sit where they want, people who stand throughout which can stop others from sitting down so stopping their enjoyment and the misunderstanding everyone has when someone says "you're sitting in my seat" when someone is sitting in your seat. Allocated seating would stop this. In a big stadium with plenty of seats it's not a problem but in a small stadium or a place where the stewards have no flexibility unallocated seating will always be a problem. I guess when we went to Wembley some were stuck in a crap seat because they were next to someone else in a queue but it probably didn't stop the enjoyment! Allocated seating happens all the time in the divisions above us, why are we trying to kick against the way all seater stadiums have gone? So are we really saying rules are for other people BRFC sit where we want? Crazy! UTG!

Well if we slip back into league 2 and crowds go down we wont fill our away allocation and will be able to sit anywhere we like which will be great. If on the other hand we progress to the championship and play against much bigger clubs we will get allocated seating for away matches which will be enforced and would be terrible. Well done blueiris pretty much the issue in a nutshell. UTG!

Can I just add that this is part of the very good case for safe standing - ie. This thread has demonstrated that people have very different preferences on watching the game and we can't even reach any kind of workable consensus on etiquette, basic safety standards or who should have preference over who in a case of contention. This is exactly why grounds should incorporate a number of different alternatives or this becomes an issue at home games too - and I have seen that happen in some places. Lots of common sense Irish but I thought that with the current rules/laws you can't have standing in an all seater stadium. Of course that would be a solution or keep everyone happy and seems sensible. I guess that means it will never happen! UTG!

There is no reasonable argument against safe standing at all, it's just another case of the government keeping the status quo to avoid anything controversial.

Might sound silly but did everybody do random seats at Wembley? I sat in my seat and bet most did.

I find the Wembley theory a bit spurious, the 35 or 40 or 45,000 at Wembley were mainly day trippers,Rovers away support in the league is a different set of people made up of different groups of supporters. You only have to venture into different pubs on the lunch time of a home game to see how disparate the fan base is and thats not to mention the large percentage who dont go into pubs.

Doesn't look good for Saturday in my opinion must sit in allocated seats strictly no standing bars will be open half time if there isn't any trouble and by the way our so called safety officer told Coventry to make the match all ticket and also told them not to open any bar's to away supporters under any circumstances so he's the prat who caused us all the agro of getting tickets for this match think he could be renamed the unsafety officer after Saturday. Ah, I see where you've gone wrong there, Deggers, old chap - you are blaming the prescription, rather than the problem. If this really is a problem for you, and you really need to blame someone, then I think you should direct it at the real cause : the people that stand where they like, causing overcrowding in sections, standing in the gangways, refusing to move, not caring about their fellow supporters, being a general right pain in the arse.
