Quoted from Poojah
I would think, with Southampton being a PL club and having sold out away ends every week, that allocated seating will be enforced to some degree.

I think we’ve got 9 separate blocks allocated to us (40 to 48 ), some naturally more appealing than others. It’s going to get quite messy if you’ve got large groups of people randomly trying to access sections which may or may not be already full.

Frankly I’d pay good money not to sit with my mates, but I can understand that families will want to sit together. As of this morning, we’d sold almost 90% of our allocation so there won’t be banks of spare seats for people to find.

Fairly sure Palace and Chelsea were allocated seating. I’d be surprised if this was any different, personally.


Crystal Palace was 100% allocated seating because my son could not sit next to me and his mum.

It's allocated seating. I think most people will be in their seats fairly early anyway.

So it appears that some people on here just sit in any seat they fancy, wonder if they do the same at the cinema, or on an airplane?


Doesn't everyone sit where they like at the cinema?

With allocated seating being rarely enforced, when it is it’s always a farce.

Just sit in a seat. Nobody will be sat on Wednesday anyway…

I remember the cup game at Scunny, we all know the one, massive accident, delay to fans entering the ground…some bloke got in 10 minutes before half time and kicked off with a steward because someone was in his seat…a single seat…

Quoted from oochiad
I’m disabled and my seat isn’t in the disabled section as there isn’t enough. My seat is accessible though from the stairs that come into the stand easy enough, I’ll need that seat not one on row OO or NN as they’ll be to many stairs. I hope people will be reasonable.

I'm sure they will be and on the incredibly slim chance of them not being, I'm sure the nearest steward will assist.

What an incredibly selfish attitude!
“Just sit in a seat” possibly the one that Oochaid has gone to great lengths to get so as to make his day as comfortable as possible. And while you’re at it let’s stand up all game so we can cause more discomfort for some of our less mobile fellow mariners.

So what happens when it’s not allocated seating, which is generally the outcome at almost every single away game…

County away in the league last year, plenty of folk stood up down the front did a cracking job of making sure the disabled supporters down the front could see and celebrate…I’ve also given over my seat to someone who’d prefer it many a time.

Allocated seating at away games never works really, not when it’s fans that aren’t used to it…not even sure I sat in my purchased seat for the playoff final…seemed to be about 8 people too many on the row…

I am going with 3 others, and all our tickets are scattered about all over the place, none of us are together, we have decided to hopefully stand where the main atmosphere is, everybody in that section will be stood up, nobody will be in seats as there will be more people than seats in that area clearly, I'll be surprised if an elderly or disabled person who has an allocated seat in that section will still be there as they won't see anything!

Also I will add me and the 3 others purchased all together literally, simultaneously online late at night, but despite this we are all scattered about.
