Ah... The sitting/standing debacle at Notts County
Me to lad in front: excuse me, can you sit down please so the chap behind us can see please?
Lad in front: fuck off
Me: Oi you ignorant little shit, some people are less able than the rest of us, will you sit down please?
LIF: why the fuck would I want to sit down?
Me: because you've paid for a seat like the rest of us
LIF: why don't you fucking sit down the fucking front?
Me: because our tickets are for here & if you haven't noticed it's rather full, now will you please sit down!!
(If you are the lad in front, then you're one of the rudest, selfish little gits I've come across in a long time).
Needless to say, he & his mates sat down, but continued to protest. I get why some want to stand, really I do, but please take into account that:
A) some don't want to
B) some of us are only about 5ft tall so even if everyone stood up we can see sod all so would rather sit
C) many fans are older and/or illnesses/disabilities that mean they can't stand for a prolonged time. It's enough effort walking from the coach to the ground and up the stairs to seats!
As we don't get a choice of away seating what more can we do? I'd happily vote for a front/back ticket choice. I'm pretty confident that LIF & mates weren't supposed to be sat where we were, it was a little crowded after they arrived....
When there is standing areas, who will get a ticket for the seats & still stand?!
