Is Row L about half way up the stand? A few rows up from the disabled area?

Would have guessed it's just below the disabled area.

Concourse level is Row J, so it's 2 up from that level.

Judge Drenthe I asked the TO today if they knew roughly how many season tickets had been renewed and they said approximately 13,000 currently, and they anticipate a total sale of 14,000-14,500 once the tickets have gone on general sale.


I was at the club at around 3pm moving my seat and was told 'around 12,500' STs had been sold so far.


So "approximately 13,000 currently" is approximately then.. or did you want the chap I spoke to to do a full count whilst the queues grew outside?


I am sure we can agree that 'approximately 13,000' and 'around 12,500' are in the same ball park. The purpose of my post was to show that the info I had received concurred with yours. Apologies if you misconstrued that.

Only on HNA? would so many people spend so much time and energy discussing something quite so insignificant as the exact meaning of "approximately" in this context.

Great, so just back behind the disabled area. I thought that was the case but I didn't want to be too close to the front and get wet... Cheers.

Welcome to having trouble seeing the last 10 minutes of each game due to a stream of people walking in front of you - and stopping there if anything exciting happens.

13k will be pretty good in the current climate we sold 9k last time we were in the Championship.

Ok, got my season tickets but had to get them in Y25 row HH - which is good, however there is one seat between us which was occupied.

I hope it's not a complete tosser who refuses to budge up one seat!

Are you telling me there are only single seats available for next season? That's astounding.

tbh I'm in the complete tosser's corner here - it's his seat ffs

This was only Y25, upper rows. The nearest ones were more towards the bottom.

I hope the one who is sat between us isn't you then! If it is then I'll try to bribe you with a pint or two.

There's plenty of availability in the first 3 rows of all East stand sections. Above them you have to go to the corners before you get two together. West is pretty much the same but there's a fair amount free in North.

Yea that's the difficulty I had when I called up. I was offered row G I think but that's far too close to the pitch, I prefer being at the back. The other option was changing blocks to somewhere else, but I wanted Y25 which is where I sat in 2004-2006 and preferred there.

In the end I just took two singles, one seat in between and will ask very nicely to swap on an informal basis.

Yea it will be! It's a risk I suppose, but I've asked someone to move up before on more than one occasion and generally, if it's just one seat they've been very willing to.

Sure I said we'd top 14,000 and someone laughed. They're still queuing too. We sold (again) the 18,000 limit we were allowed last season, and a bit of ambition seems to be keeping the majority which is fantastic.
