Look, about the seating at Cardiff....

There are, I repeat, only a handful of 'bad' seats at the Millennium Stadium. Virtually every single seat in the place has a cracking view. Even the front-row pitchside ones are great, with the stands towering above and all around you. One or two are behind pitchside camera positions (I know because I helped put the cameras in last saturday!!) and these would have a slightly restricted view. We'd have to sell out completely for you to be unlucky enough to bag one of these. </p>

If Wembley was 'owt to go by, there'll be no, one, particularly noisy area - our whole half of that stadium on that day was singing &amp; flag waving. Chances are, wherever you're sat, it'll be an absolutely brilliant atmosphere.</p>

Give the friggin' club a break! They're trying to shift twenty-odd thousand tickets in a week or so - summat we're not exactly used to doing!! Sure, they've made a couple of ****-ups, but from what I can see, have then strived to put them right. What do you think; they deliberately want to see people frustrated and ticketless or they're doing their best and want all our seats filled with noisy, cheering punters??</p>

 

but I wanted to sit next to the Queen-it's not fair!

 

Will Charlie be in the Swansea end

Prince of Wales and all that?

 

Don't worry, by the sounds of it you'll be very unlucky not to be sat next to a queen. By the sounds of it the average Barnsley fan is a highly strung prima donna.

 

That supervisor is still a tw@t

 

Oh, agreed mate.

I'd have been across the desk if he'd said that about my missus. Mind, my missus hates football, so it would probably have been a decent suggestion.

 

I think what's done for most people is that they've said you can pick your area but not a specific seat so that's raised expectations and people have been sorting out where they want to be. But then getting to the box office they then tell you it's only this or that available.

Unhappy fans - only to be expected in that case

 

Some very unhappy fans about the seating. Our lass spent three hours queing to be told they were selling in blocks from the back of the stadium to the front, and that we could not even get in a block we wanted. It's two less season ticket holders that they'll be getting this year. If they treat season ticket holders like that what are they actually cappable of doing. They couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery by the sounds of today.(

 

One thing I will say is they cant have every block on sale at the same time can you imagine how hectic that would be administration wise?? Theyre trying the staggered approach which obviously has advantages and disadvantages. I think what they could have done is for the people who wanted to sit on the sides and were waiting ages, opened a section for the sides and a section for behind the goals so people could wait at least knowing they were sitting in a desirable area.

 

Exactly

I went to Wembley.

Great fan, me.

 

Exactly. Been there once before, we were about 6 rows from the back of the top tier behind a corner flag and it was bloody freezing, but it was still an excellent view - miles away from the pitch, granted!! But much, MUCH better than Wembley...

And as long as I get a ticket somewhere in the Barnsley end, I don't really care where I sit!!

 

Fair point but if the club were open about how they intended selling the tickets in the first place and which turnstyle/box office was selling which blocks it would have avoided alot of the disappoitment felt by fans who got there early thinkng they would have a choice,something the club had advertised
