I just don't understand this 'season-ticket holders in different seats' shocker.

    What difference does it make? We'll never sell all our seats anyway - no-one will go without. Okay, so it might lead to a few decent seats staying empty, but the same number of fans will be in the ground - the occupants will just be sitting elsewhere. I'd stake my life on the fact that you'll be able to stroll up to a turnstile at 7.40pm on Thursday and pay for a seat.</p>

    What is everyone's problem?!?!! </p>

    It only comes into play if we have a full house and people can't get in. Don't think that will happen but if it does just wait and hear the flack flying !!!!

    They'll not even be sat in a different seat

    Why sit in a seat in the corner down near the front when you know your usual seat is empty.

    The problem is

    If it's full (if) then season ticket holders buying a ticket on the turnstyle will in effect have two seat (the one they've bought from the turnstyle and the one that is allocated to their season ticket left in the box office because it won't go on genral sale). Therefore they'll be no tickets left, the ground won't be full and some people may not be able to get in.

    That is the problem

    People seem to be saying that its not a problem for a person with an ST buying a ticket on the turnstile- but it will cause massive problems if enough do it, for the reason you mention.</p>

    I can only hope that these massive queues (and only 2000 away tickets sold) means that most ST holders have a ticket for their own seat. So the number of people who have bought one on the turnstile (but have an ST) number no more than 200-300.</p>

    Exactly - and the club will only have themselves to blame
