Just wondering if anyone has kept their seat from Day One?

For me, it was North stand, South stand, back to North stand and for the first time ever (because my old man was getting irritated by those around him 🤣) we are venturing in to the West!!
 
Into E block when the new stands opened, then the mirror seat in the South when that opened and been there ever since.
 
North -> West -> South -> back to North (D Block)... and would contemplate East if/when it gets rebuilt, because it's sunny. 🍊🌞⚽

Brother used to take me and we stood just to the left of the dugouts in the west, when I grew up always went in the north, ever since we got transferred to the south when it opened I’ve stayed there. Love the view but atmosphere is lacking…..a lot. Used to be great in the early 2010s but obviously majority of ‘noisy’ fans want to be in the north. Hopefully with more bodies it’ll be decent this season
 
Used to stand on the old spoon kop before I moved away, now I’m back I e been in M since Sir Simon Sadler took over.
 
We were towards the very of top block E in the north from when the new stands opened, then relocated to the south to block T when they mirrored your seat up until the boycott. Now we're towards the top of block V in the south behind the goal.

Whilst the atmosphere is admittedly better in the north, you can't beat the south when it comes to the concourse and access.
 
Old Block Q in the South, moved into the North but went back to my spiritual home and it was great when drummer Hoggy was positioned in it.

Much prefer the concourse just wish it had the volume it used to have.
 
Started in the West, then the North and when basically Season Ticket Holders were moved to the South from the North have been there ever since ( though not in the boycott years).
Seems there a lot of us in V block on here.😉...and I am more than happy to stay where I am( though when a large away following is allowed out at the same time I am not impressed and one day it is really going to kick off I suspect)

In the “old ground”( sic) just about every where but towards the end before the redevelopment the old South Stand which had it’s magic moments😀
 
Season before last, the journey included a couple of pints in the Dog or The Albert, then ST's in the West.
This season it'll be The Armfield Club and ST's in the South, followed by a post match pint in the Armfield.
Collected our membership cards last week and they showed us around the 3 floors, very impressive.
Just as good as Lee's video demonstrated last year. Like many, I've been in all parts of the ground at one time or another, but always preferred the old South Paddock.
 
Since new stands 1st season ticket (no longer working shifts) for me & kids in Championship West block L row J for 2 seasons moved to North row T I think for Prem season & next 2. Then 5 year absence, Block H for the homecoming, then a rushed mini ST for the remaining games in the West block P row J kept the same since as it suited my disabled Brother in law, West block K row H this season.

You just reminded me, I must join the Armfield club TBH I've been waiting until this table booking stops.
 
Started in south paddock as I couldnt afford a season ticket in the old south stand So had to get soaked in the rain - New west and north seated were built I was C, row J, seat 10 , then moved to the opposite area in the south.

bigger concourse like it 👍🏻no sun 🥺 - hope someone is enjoying my seat in the north - lets get Bloomfield road rocking wherever we are 😎
 
Started in the west with my uncle taking me to my first game,then scratching shed with mates then South with mates &my brother ( & big G!) then occasionally the kop then back to the south, then as you get older and mates move away or drift away the west with my 3 kids, now the north with my youngest- boring post of my manoeuvre’s around the ground over the years but I don’t care it’s jogged some fantastic memories

Really looking forward to The Armfield on match days it really is going to be great 👍
 
Started in block N, when the stand opened sat with my dad, uncle, cousin and nephew.
Was there until I didn't renew for NAPM, the seat(s) were then taken over by someone else.
Sit with a mate now in block P.
Im not very nomadic.
 
South standing then sitting, North when it was finished, then West around 2008, this year M stand. A couple of my mates sadly died since lockdown .
 
Had a season ticket in south stand seats in old ground.

then west paddock

stopped getting a season ticket for about 10 yrs as had moved away

Kop b block for last 10 years apart from the boycott years and when they gave the seats to away fans.

back in old seat now
