All those empty seats on Bramall Lane upper

[metalblade]

Little known fact: The front 10 rows of H Block are reserved for academy players and family, i.e. people highly unlikely to cause any trouble. The late tickets that went on sale were the ones they didn't take up. Why the club couldn't have adopted the same strategy with the BLUT front rows, i.e. old fogeys, families or whatever, displays a distinct lack of marketing nous. SYP wouldn't have objected to this. Would they?

The club used to put the programme sellers at the front of H block, then for reasons I won't go into we were moved to the kop.

Were there any empty seats in Manchester today.

Were there any empty seats in Manchester today.

Only the ones on either side of the Man Utd fans which the stewards gladly took up.

We like to force our own fans to sit behind poles and on some occasions entire brick walls before we’ll sell any seats in the front SIX rows of that stand.

It started about 10 years ago with 1 row empty and it’s been creeping up to the point where we’re now literally at 6. What’s the fucking point in having the upper tier?

Been saying it a while. If we can’t use them seats let’s rip em out and have usherettes with a tray selling Kia Ora orange juice, popcorn and choc ices.
