Tickets for Huddersfield Away

Some people get very angry if you stand up and block their view at away games. The trouble is they inexplicably can't understand that the whole of the away end is stood. So my response is always to tell them if they want me to sit down they'll need to get several thousand in front of me to do the same, good luck with that. But they seem to think the person in front of me will sit down if I tell them to.
Then you have people who get to an away game that's only half sold out and insist on sitting in their seats despite there being loads of empty seats all around. The whole experience would be much better if people just used some common sense tbh.
I think people who normally sit in the West or South think/expect the away game experience to be the same as they experience at home and it's not, it's quite different.

Lets not be silly and stick to the talking points about people standing and blocking fellow supporters views.

Of course at yeovil, and this is a good example, they have a standing area AND a seated area. This prevents the conflict as people are where they want to be.
 
Bloody hell, is this still going on.
Why are people who stand and are not being told they can't and are not being inconvenienced in any way in their away day experience so angry about a block of seats to the side where people who want to sit for whatever reason can. Surely it's a good thing as nobody will moan at you to sit all game and it will be like minded together.
This is so fcuking wierd

This is absolutly correct. Theres like a resentment to those who want to sit and watch a game in some degree of comfort.

These go on sale from today, very good prices too. Huddersfield have agreed BFC can put two blocks on sale at once. It is suggested that those who wish to stand opt for block 5 and those who wish to sit opt for block 6 tickets. Hope this helps. ⚽️🍊

Thanks for that, it seems sensible. I haven't read the replies but I cannot see anyone having any objections to that.

Great in principle, but maybe not so much on Matchday. It feels like a potential flashpoint to me.

The very least we need here is for the online and ticket office systems to be in synch…

And the fact is at high demand games people will just buy up whatever tickets they can get their hands on regardless.

I don’t have an issue with trying to sort something out… Personally a basic unwritten rule and guidance for sitters get there early and to use the front rows makes most sense to me…. Or maybe, if possible, allocate front rows for seating instead of a block.

If I attend every away game and stood at the front, you’ll be dammed to think I am moving where I stand usually at every game to the back because of people who only attend matches within a 90 minute radius of Blackpool.

No you should move to the back.

Standing at the front just reeks of self entitledness.

Not as much as wanting people to move where they normally stand because you’ve decided you can actually be arsed to attend an away game because it’s less than 90 minutes away.

We didn’t have any complaining about this at Reading away last year? QPR away last year? Is that because they’re during the week and the same old moaning bunch couldn’t be bothered to attend?

What if the people moaning are ones who travel all over the country, but can’t see at the local games when more people who can only be arsed to attend away games because they’re less than 90 minutes away, tip up and stand in front of them?
 
Can’t believe there has been 160+ posts on this subject, FFS we should all know where we need to sit or stand at away games! This Block 5/6 is asking for more trouble than it’s worth especially as we’ve no idea where these are!

I stood at the front, with at least 20 people each away game last season with no moaning.

The moaning has only started this year.. Which, funnily enough, is following Stoke away (90 minutes) and Burnley away (35 minutes).

Peak moaning was definitely the prem season.

I haven’t actually seen/heard much of it over the past couple of years. We used to have majority grumpy old farts but the younger rowdy crowd seem to outnumber them now. It felt like we got a new generation overnight after the boycott and covid, it’s brilliant.

Remember when city chanted “why the fuck are you sat down?” at the etihad, we’d have none of that now!

Thing is though… That was the era that went through the War etc…

The OAP’s of today are all ‘Boomers’ and let’s face it, they’ve literally prioritised themselves their entire lives, so they’re not going to change the habit of a lifetime….

All joking aside, it’s a ** Hoot…people want everything exactly provided for their exact ”largely invented” circumstances and want everyone else to bend themselves around that
 
There are going to be plenty in the “family section” who don’t even know that’s what their in and will no doubt want to stand in front of people who bought their tickets thinking this guaranteed they could sit down. Think this is going to cause a few problems at Huddersfield. Can see a few tartan blankets and flasks being launched.
 
Our growing younger fanbase is absolutely class these days.

Makes the atmospheres what they are.

The vast majority of people can stand, maybe not for the whole game, but you don't need to, a sit down here and there. Or there are areas that won't be as busy and a bit of common sense can get most there.

Be interesting to see how it works at Huddersfield as there's 3 areas on sale and one is a family stand, I hope thats not a third of all tickets, that would be maybe 800 people... no way that many need to sit.
 
Anyway are we getting a lying down section? Sick of all these standing bastards and sitting down people blocking us who like to rest, we have rights too!
