When are we going to get some stickers for the rows and seats ?

[Easy 10]

Poor old TLO. There he was, arriving in his row on Saturday, and having to manually COUNT the seats from the end in order to work out which was his, carefully wagging a finger at each anonymous bumshelf to mentally tick them down in order to locate his alloted berth. Now if an experienced D-Blocker like TLO is having trouble finding his seat, what hope for the OCCASIONAL fan who's bought a ticket for the game ? How many fans have to run the GAUNTLET of sitting in the wrong seat, in the wrong row, and end up being SPRAYED by half-chewed hotdog and saliva as some lardy arrives at 2.58 and garbles "schush me mmathe, you're imm my ssheahthth".

Come on Ken. The faceless seats now outnumber the numbered ones. We need new STICKERS (or some Tipp-Ex).

I have absolutely no re-collection of doing that.

*BIBBLE*

I know whcih seat mine is anway - it's the one that is hanging lower to the ground than all the others, and has a massive skid mark along the middle.

I was going to say hello, but you were deep in concentration and moving away from me.

Even if almost the WHOLE BLOCK is full of un-numbered seats ?
They all look the SAME. I only recognise my seat because theres loads of chewing gum rammed in the slots of the back of the seat in front.

I think trying to find your seat every week is part of the fun of the Withdean experience!

Maybe we could take all the seat stickers off??

Now that would be hilarious

speaking as someone on the SECOND seat in, i suppose i am being a bit harsh on those of you who have to wander to the middle of the row

maybe some sort of classic adventure book story system could be thought up - i would love to find my place by taking a hop and a skip forward, two paces back, three forward rolls forward, a leap back and a cartwheel into the EXACT location of my seat. with possibly the splits thrown in at the end for good measure

they are dead cheap to get as well. i did 900 from 1 - 900 in colours for the school (free) but it cost me about £4 i reckon.

 

[Gully]

Please can I nominate Starry for the job.

Starry - Just to make it a little more interesting, please put the numbers out in complete random.

Atilla will be able to play 'musical chairs' at Withdean soon, so no-one will care what the numbers are except the person left scrambling to sit on an already-occupied seat.

I think squirting water on the seats sounds much better

I already do that when there's too much time added on to the first half...

Other people just visit the gents.

How about numbering the seats correctly, then each fan arriving takes a random ping pong ball with an allocated seat number on it. As the players come out we toss our balls by thrusting them into the air?

Suggest if you are that bothered you get a sticker for your own seat (assuming you can find it of course).

Sitting in the North Stand I have no such problem as the stickers are very visible. Despite that my father regularly sits in the wrong seat, but thats an age thing.

Now there is a post I never thought I would see. Quoted to preserve forever more.

Actually I am in a different seat in D block so it might be

Taken out of context though!

5500 non season ticket holders all with specific seats, but no numbers! Could be chaos!

I think it will be. I turned up slightly late the other day (15:01) and there were a group in my seats. I was verbally spat at by one couple as I was in the way, although I would have slunk into my seat needlessly if someone hadn't got the wrong row - stewards stood there apathetic. It will be mayhem, coupled with the fact that there will be plenty of people turning up late as we are somewhat of a commuting town.

It is quite easy. Have a steward running the stairs before kick off with a bit of paper giving a rough idea of the layout and the seat numbers for each row end.
