Graemei Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 First time i've bought a season ticket for the North Stand, not in the usual spot I stood in most of last season. Just wondering do most people stand at their ST seat or just kinda stand anywhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jags on tour Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 the singers up the back have their regular place but apart from that you just stand wherever you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pie Of The Month Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 I've never stood at my seat, couldn't even tell you where it is. Hope that all people who are moving their ST over to the North Stand are aware that you just stand where you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graemei Posted May 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 Stood in the NS the best part of two seasons but was moaned at before that I was in someone's usual spot, not sure if it was there ST seat or not. Just wondering what others thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian_mac Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 It's stand where you want. This was one of the fundamental principals put in place when the concept was first thought up. The reasoning for this was to encourage a "terrace culture" - and so that people could stand with their mates. People are always more likely to get involved in the singing when they are amongst friends and familiar faces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackpool Jags Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 One day current rules might be relaxed to allow us a North Stand which is simply good old-style terracing. Aaaaah, the memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Scimmia Rossa Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 It might be stand where you want, but i'm assuming that each season ticket will have an allocated seat? The club seem to be saying that each season ticket has to have a seat number asscoaited with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagaloon Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 have never seen my allocated seat, as far as i am aware, you just stand where you want. you are allocated a seat for, i assume, health and safety reasons re: attendance numbers. I would be right p'd off if i turned up at the North Stand to find that patg'ers had filled the whole place and that i couldn't get in to not-sit in my allocated seat ;p or, even worse, or my seat had been broken by one of the ugly sisters :@ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

La Scimmia Rossa Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 My point is straightforward. If you buy a season ticket you are given a seat. Currently, you can stand where you want. That might be impractical if another Morton scenario happened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club overflowing fans from the JHS into the NS without any idea how many were in the JHS overflow or already in the NS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackpool Jags Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 I'm pretty sure the idea of buying a ST for the NS is that you fully understand that you'll probably never see your allocated seat, and that you were never interested in anything other than standing and singing in the first place. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on BJ. It really isn't complicated, no matter how much anyone tries to make it seem that way. 2 years in now and there have been no problems.

La Scimmia Rossa Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 (edited) Two years in but the Morton game wasn't during the new ticketing system. PT's point is correct. Whilst the season tickets have numbers, if you have fans moving all over the place, you can't keep a track. It's unlikely given our crowds but a possibility.

Whilst the season tickets have numbers, if you have fans moving all over the place, you can't keep a track. It's unlikely given our crowds but a possibility. Got to mind also that the Morton game wasn't televised so there was no great pressure on kicking off on time. Combine a biggish crowd and a Sky game and there could be more than a few souls missing the kick off. In a way that's a sort of good problem to have from a demand point of view but still a potential problem.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
