I sat in the WS middle tier practically half way line 3 rows behind Barry Fry and their pikey looking chairman and there were bundles of seats left, really annoyed me, guy sat near me said its all companies who are only interested in the big games, I guess Posh weren't big enough.

This is the way it is across all football grounds. Its the way of the corporate World. BHAFC won't give a stuff as the money is already in the Bank account. The middle West is half empty about 5 minutes after half time still with the corporates still drinking and eating. This is the new way and it would be exactly the same at Palace before they start spouting any bollocks about their supporters being any different. I do think the directors seats should at least be passed on as to have loads of empty seats in this area all game is not good imo. Whether we like it or not there are 12000 new sth's and some of them will be casuals with the spare money and again this would be the same at Palace. The Hereford days and 4000 die hards are over and this is the new era and the way it is. If people have paid they have a choice and thats it.

Also it is August and the summer holidays so we may be being unduly harsh and look at the state of Villa Park with their local derby yesterday.

It'll be interesting to see how many STH's give the Leeds game a swerve, what with it being a Friday night on the tellybox.

By rights the place should be RAMMED for one of the biggest games of the season, just hope the casuals don't let us down by taking the lazy option.

Looked LOADS of odd empty seats throughout the east stand. It's the jcls I tells ya.

Well, I'm stuck over here in Greece as is Hova Boy. But our boy is a STH and his girlie had my seat. Her brother may have filled the other one, I don't know. There's usually someone to keep our seats polished for us.

Aside from the director's box itself, most if not all of the seats in the area you refer to were taken.... from my view. Or were you referring to the director's box itself?

RE upgrading kids tickets: Surely you just scan the ticket in the turnstile when you enter the ground, is anybody actively checking whether people are using the correct ticket to get in?

Someone said that concessions flash a different colour when scanned. Not noticed this myself or anyone checking it :shrug:
