    Stand up, absolutly nothing stopping them from moving to the side, an half empty stadium and nobody playing on the pitch means no real excuse for sitting behind somebody and ordering them to move out of your way.

    After a 6 hour coach ride I think that everybody has the right to stand up for half an hour before having to sit down for another 90 minutes which will then be followed by another 6 hours on the coach.
    Especially when at the time the stadium announcer is saying stand up.

    Yeah I spose, perhaps it depends on circumstances. To be honest, rather than getting them to move out of their own seats, I'd probably just stand to the side of them like I often do at Oakwell until it fills up a bit. Then again, given the scenario you gave, I can't imagine someone asking you to move when nothing was happening on the pitch

    Yep I saw it, not sure what was going on behind us but the woman steward with the hat on was a complete lovely person, she even asked 2 coppers to move a yard cos they were standing on the gangway not in the entrance! What made me laugh was her telling a couple of women on the back row to sit down so everybody could see.....work that one out.
    I pity her future husband/wife! (looked like you could play for either side.)
