The seating arrangement on saturday were absolutely appaling. I'm in a season ticket holder in Block AD along with quite a few others. I understood this block should be for home fans.

So why were the turnstiles selling tickets for AD then?

On Saturday we were surrounded by drunken abusive aggresive Hull fans some of whom had been sold tickets for that block. Others just told the stewards to eff off as they were going to sit where they liked. This is totally unaceptable from the club. There wasn't even the tape across the seats as there had been at the previous games to give the dividing line between home and away.

This is RL, why is segregation needed? There were empty seats near us anyway, so why did it have to be allocated seating?

Why can't the turnstiles have notices saying Home or Away supporters so that people know where they will be sitting. I don't expect to be intimidated by a drunken mob of away supporters at a home game and the segregation must be made much clearer.

Agree with that, but the ticketing was a fiasco anyway. I arrived with my wife, a friend and the friend's 14 year old nephew. My wife and I paid £20 and were given seats in AD. Her friend asked for a ticket for her and asked for a concession ticket for her nephew, on the basis that £20 for a child is a rip off. She was told that they didn't have any at that turnstile and they should go to the ticket office to get one. But the ticket office didn't have any. The turnstile operator to the left of the stand as you face the pitch was extremely unhelpful and ended up selling two tickets on different rows and nowhere near each other. Hardly ideal to send a 14 year old to sit on his own and meant that 4 people who'd travelled together should have sat on 3 different rows. Fortunately the steward in the ground had a brain and got us all together but it was a bloody farce. Do quins not normally allow children to come in? It seemed that they didn't have a clue how to deal with just one.

Seating, standing, allocation and the rest...... : Tue Mar 31, 2009 2:52 pm  

Right then:
The club have responded to their "mouthpiece", so pay attention.
The seating arrangements are being evaluated constantly and the arrangements will differ from game to game.
As for the next 2 home games, I believe it will be as before, but larger "mobs", such as Leeds, Stains and GODS own club from 'ull, may well be sat in the north.

Now, can we please get back onto the subject of rugby before the seating threads get moved to other sports.

I hope the "mouthpiece" politely informed them that lack of attention to this issue this is madness.

I didn't want to get involved with this, as it seems to descend into personal insults too often and too quickly, however, just seeing this article: http://giantsrl.dnsupdate.co.uk/latestN ... Index=2631 5 coaches coming down so far, surely they must give the Giants the North Stand. Sky shouldn't have any influence in our CC fixtures should they, though obviously I understand season tickets have to stay in the same place, they have the chance to experiment with seating arrangements in this fixture.
