how many people didnt go to a presentation? i was never told i could stand if i bought a ticket in the back 4 rows, so you turn up at the ground see other people standing and not being asked to sit so you stand too its not petty its either the rules or its not, what if id bought a ticket in the back 4 rows but wanted to sit would i be entitled to complain??
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
North Stand Standing - message from removed fan

ridiculous from the bloke in the beige coat.
It really is an H block situation all over.
Just isn't worth it with the clubs draconian view on this.

Why this particular fan? Hundreds of people in the North Stand spend much of most games on their feet (and not just in the back four rows).

And therein lies the problem in a nutshell. Thirty odd threads, wailing and gnashing of teeth, threats, abusive pm's all for this.
You make an example of one person and everybody else follows suit. He was just unlucky to be singled out. Could have been anybody. Control one person, control them all.

With the extra seats going in they should make it the back 8/10 rows. If you are in those seats and want to sit there are plenty of other areas to move.

... and, of course, in complete breach of the conditions of entry to a professional football match.

I was wondering about that.

Come on!
Where has this nonsense come from that you can't support the club without standing?

Don't wait for me!
Meanwhile the rest of the ground manages to sit down then stand up only when there's an attack. It's not rocket science. Val doonican had a whole career of singing while sitting. Until the rules change following a general change to safe standing, is it too difficult to follow the rules for the sake of others and the players?

No.
The point is that HUNDREDS of fans stand up in the North Stand - and not just in the back four rows. Why has THIS fan been singled out for a ban?
The problem is, most of the people here find they are above everybody else, or perhaps don't get on too well in the 'real world' and want to make themselves seem tough on an internet forum. Hence why you find a lot of complaints here. People are also well known for twisting a story to suit their agenda. You may sometimes notice that it appears key details are missed out of stories which beg for sympathy and which invariably make the stewards seem bad.

Without being privy to the conversation I have no idea. However if the OP did not want a ban all he had to was sit down. The situation was entirely avoidable.
I think most people agree that the rules are daft and have no serious basis in any concern for health and safety, but given that bans have been handed out, fans can hardly complain that they too get ejected after not complying with a request from the steward to sit.

Come on!
That's just silly. How could a dozen stewards march hundreds out of the stadium. There'd be a riot.
