    Tried to buy our Season Ticket seats in Block C of West Stand for Swansea game to be told they don't sell tickets in that area. Funny how I've sat there for FA cup matches over last 20 years or more. As a result we shall be listening to Barnsley Player and the club will have lost a few more quid.

    So your not going to the game becuase of that, sorry but why didn't you just tell them this and I'm sure they would realise a mistake had been made, OR......sit in one of the other 10000 empty seats...it's reasons like this our crowds are crap, stupid reasons NOT to go.

    no ones doubting you obviously wish to sit in your season ticket seat... would it have been too much of a bind just to sit somewhere else?

    Can't understand why you couldn't sit somewhere else

    I sit in The Ponty, but if that were shut I wouldn't just chalk **** on it and go home. I'd sit somewhere else. As I had to for the entire 94-95 season.

    Odd behaviour.

    Re: Can't understand why you couldn't sit somewhere else

    Im surprised on 2 counts
    I have an ST in Block C and as far as I know it was availlable My Dad has bought his usual seat which is next to it but as others have said if its not availlable and I had been able to go I would have just bought a ticket somewhere else - I quite enjoy sitting in a different seat occasionally

    Re: Can't understand why you couldn't sit somewhere else

    Having been a season ticket holder since 1966 when we were in the sh*t financially, and buying one continually since, to help the club financially, and although I only watchied them about once a season over 20 years as I was working overseas, I did at least support them. I find it objectionable that some silly little overpainted girl should object to my request. the fact that you were able to get your seats proves my point.

    I can't be bothered to deal with what seems to me to be a totally amateurish organisation. When Sharon Hardware was on the desk, you had someone who sorted out problems and had a PR attitude. Plus, I am busy, and can't be bothered to waste time on waiting for counter staff to find the relevant 'Authority'. No problems when one could deal with Messrs. Patzelt and Spinks.

    Yes he could have sat somewhere else, but the point was he was denied the chance to sit in his season ticket seat even though that area of the ground was open.

    Well I agree ith you Xerxes

    I would have been p1ssed off too.

    People get attached to their seats and should be able to expect to sit for cup games in seats they have paid for in advance to watch league games, unless you were informed at the start of the season that your seat may not be available for cup games.

    We all get the titty lip on sometimes

    Let's not deny it. If that had happened to me my titty lip would have had a nipple on it as well.

    As I am sure you would expect!
