Moving a ST part way through season

[bobby1413]

Asking for a friend

Is it possible to move a season ticket half way through (or rather after 2 home games)?

[RG30]

Yes although you run the possibility of not being able to sit in the new seat for games that are already on sale (Ipswich, Derby, Boro) if someone has purchased already.

[LWJ]

Don't like who's around you Bob?

[Nameless]

Sort of question it's worth asking the TO about....

Why would you not be able to move ?

I'm just fed up of not being able to just sit/stand and enjoy the game.

Its constant distractions and I seem to leave every game with a banging headache.

Like today, every time the ref did something the two guys behind me shouted "oxf*rd oxf*rd". Maybe they were shouting at me as it seemed right in my ear.

The guy next to him who could barely stand (again) every two minutes yelling "stevclarkbararmyyyyy" by himself. Then 1 minute later "fukoffffff" to nothing in particular.

It's not atmosphere, it's just people standing next to each other. Most of whom aren't even watching the game.

I'm half considering just going to upper west, or maybe lower part of east stand somewhere

Come and join us in upper west where the only noise you'll get is those damn birds twittering in Green Park or someone accidentally dropping their Twix wrapper.

This. I did it a few seasons ago when I got Mrs Harry a half-season ticket for Christmas. Thought it was only fair to move seats to sit with her. Spoke to the ticket office and they sorted it all out.

[John Smith]

Gutted for you Bob. Literally nothing worse than a clueless loudmouth sat in close proximity at a game, especially the negative type.

I'm sure there's enough spare seats for you to get shifted around though

I feel his pain. Unfortunately the average mental age at the very top of Y25 has deteriorated radically over the last 3 years.

This evening I have the prosecco open as I'm celebrating.

I sat (stood actually) in Y25, second row from the back, for the very last time. I've moved down to Y25 row Z.

Today I left the game with a headache for the last game. With the two cnuts chanting "oxf*rd" at the linesman for rightly flagging offside. I also have endured them for the last time singing by themselves right down my oxf*rd ear all game with no awareness of what's happening on the pitch.

EDIT: actually I wanted to just say it was incredibly easy to move. Ticket office just gave me any available non-ST seat, new cards sent out. Really good service.

Might be my old ST seat Glad you got it sorted anyway

We're Y25 row T. Moved up from row G in 2012 due to a particularly annoying individual.

Wish bloke behind me in Y24 would bloomin move!!!!!!

It is one of those great things in any crowd. The offside flag goes up and you have a guy shouting out "you stupid f***ing blinf c*** lino! Stick that f***ing flag up your arse you useles tw**" before sitting back down and turning to his mate and calmly saying "miles off, weren't he?"


There's a ginger lad behind me in Y25 who loves to shout cnut all the time. Either it's his new favourite word, and he just wants to impress his mates by showing what a big lad he is, or he's got a bad case tourette's.


It does also show one of the big benefits of terracing. The crowd would self segregate. You'd have the more youthful and boisterous element down towards the right side of the Southbank. When people mellowed a bit, they'd opt for the other half, the left side. And if they wanted to be a whinging old git they'd move to the Tilehurst End.

I don't mind fans who shout even if they're wrong. I'm sure I do it a lot. What really aggravated me (and GF) was just their total cringe worthy, childish (they are about 30 years old), disgusting language*, and screaming every 30 seconds.

As an example, both of them by themselves chanting "why don't you go home... Back to your..." Just the two of them. Every Charlton chant was responded to with "you wot, you wot, etc..." - again just them two.

This is not even mentioning the occasion last season when the tosser was calling an opposition player a "chink". He stopped when I turned around and told him what I thought.

* I swear like a trooper but people who shout "Cnut" to every opposition player is a tad annoying.

We're Y25, Row Q. Middle of the block is pretty decent normally. Good bit of noise without too many annoying fcukwits.

[Snowball136]

Feel the pain.

I've been thinking of moving but we have 3 seats.

I'm in Lower West D, row N and there is an UTTER tosser who sits just behind
me who talks for the whole game to some numpty who, presumably thinks
his "mate" is very knowledgeable.

I literally want to punch this guy's lights out every game

Which block? It sounds like you might be talking about me.
