Two things I wish the club had told me BEFORE I went to my presentation last Friday

I understand from someone in D block yesterday, the 45 tickets (I believe were actually more like 20) were pre-arranged with the club prior to the presentation and this is all purely due to the fact all 20 travel to games together.

Nothing really wrong with that, if they sit together at Withdean then why not at Falmer.

I believe know the 20 you are talking about and these weren't the ones I was referring to; at the 3.30 presentation someone definately got 40+

We asked about reserving and they specifically told us that you couldn't. Those seats which showed as "reserved" on the screen just hadn't been fully processed, so I'm afraid you're talking bollocks.

You are entitled to your opinion, even though you are wrong!

Just because you asked and you got told no does not mean that the perosn I know who asked a diferent person and was told yes, and who reserved six for him, is lying!

If they got them at the prescribed presentation, and the ratio of season-ticket holders (who were present at that particular meeting) to non ST's was no more than 1:3, then absolutely not.

If that wasn't the case, then there is a case for people to feel aggreived - loads of us travel to home/away games in groups, but are playing the game - even though its a massive inconvenience.

I wasn't there but I'm one of the forty-five. None of the seats were "reserved" - they were all paid for there and then.

I'm happy for you and pleased you could do it to keep a good group of friends together.

I just wish that someone had told me that this was an option so I could have done it as well.

Cheers, I can understand your frustration at not being told - we weren't either but thought there was no harm in asking.
FWIW the A21 club and the Seagulls Over Burwash have purchased larger blocks of tickets as well I believe.

I can't believe blocks of seats can be reserved from one presentation to a later one. The screens showed red seats for the ones already gone, green seats for available ones, and ones which went yellow as the girl clicked on them while we decided.

I would be amazed if you could say "please save these seats here for my friend who's presentation is in February..."

Agreed, that would make a mockery of the presentation priority ordering, no ?

Why did you not ask before hand? You could have rung the club and said that you can't make the presentations and they would have told you it was ok if you are with another group of STH in the same priority and they can book your ticket for you. Seems your blaming the club/others because you didn't think to ask!

I didn't ask because it wasn't made clear that it was an option. Had it been made clear an option I certainly would have done.

The A21 guys were at their presentation for 4.5 hours because they had to book 80 odd seats.
I imagine they reserved their block of 80 and they would appear as red/reserved until al 80 deposits were paid, thus making them sold.

What I would like to know is - were there 20 of them there booking these 80 seats? If not, why were they allowed to?

(This is not a bitch at them, as I know some of them who are cracking people and massive Albion fans - but it seems a little harsh on other large groups who aren't able to guarantee they are all together)

Was this the group of 18 (?) that was mentioned in the Argus on the first presentation day ? Bloke bought them altogether as a block as they all sit as a group.
