Never said you were. I said it's never happened to me.

Whats it got to do with you ?As someone who joined in July 2024, why would you know who Boosh is?
I mean I’m very flattered, if you want an autograph I’ll bring a pen to Leeds
don't really go away these days due to family commitments but thinking back to when I did can't really remember stewards telling people to sit where they want very often. Happened every now and then when we'd be rattling round an empty away end.Same here never had a steward say that and I do 75% of away

I can imagine the people who sign off on event management and a stadiums safety certificate having something to say if that was the norm. Especially when we're talking about regular sell outs.
Thought I'd bring this up again, seeing as a few don't see there is a issue with standing where they want at away games.
Today went to go up to our seat, with my 7 year old at about 2.40ish.
4 lads was in my seats, was told "stand where I want mate", i said I had my lad with me and he needs a seat to stand on or he can't see. Was called a c**t etc as i got there too late, should have been in my seat earlier apparently. They finally moved after I didn't back down.
But the self importance, attitude and selfishness of fans is going down hill massively.
Maybe I didn't notice it as much when I didnt have my lad with me, but the last 2 seasons I have seen a massive shift in the atmosphere and its not a good one.
These wasn't young kids, same age as me in there late 30s ish I'd guessPeople are little pricks nowadays. Issue is they know if they get a slap for acting up people will get banned for years and their parents will be in the paper acting like a victim.

Yup. My first thought was "I wonder if they are still wearing short trousers."*To some of us that's young kids mate!
He's a prick, offended by everything, stick the fucka on ignore like I have.That's your experience, it's not mine.
In the same way I haven't seen anywhere near the level of cuntish behaviour you see but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen.
Yeah it’s always been the case at away grounds.Was in the opposite position yesterday. We had 3 ticket, 2 in upper and 1 in lower. Swapped with someone outside the ground to have three in lower but in diff seats. So took three on the end of a row. No one asked us to move, however can appreciate for the older fan or those with younger fans it can be a pain to find a drunk in your area.
not sure what the end solution is, apart from if you do want your designated seat arrive early in my opinion.
This isn’t a new phenomenon by the way, happened even in league 2 even when you could choose seats at away grounds
When I take my son (9 now, but going since 6) to away games, I tended to get in my seats 2pm to 2.15 (knowing what goes on) with no issue, with him standing on his chair. If there was any pissed/drugged up nonsense immediately near him, it would result in a slight nudge and a look at my boy, which usually calms it down.Was in the opposite position yesterday.

Even so. There's being mindful of it rather than "just don't bring your kids".When I take my son (9 now, but going since 6) to away games, I tended to get in my seats 2pm to 2.15 (knowing what goes on) with no issue, with him standing on his chair.

I would not be protesting massively if people are swearing non-stop around him... I have the choice to not take him, knowing the environment.
