You don't pay for a view, you pay for a place ie a seat and the sapce immediately around it.
Surely with the amount of fans there in the stands , there should have been enough room to accomodate both 'sitters' and 'standers' or was every seat taken ?

I wasn't there so I'm not gonna start saying whether the stewards were too heavy handed or not, but the one detail everyone agrees on is that one lad grabbed another by the throat - that's not handbags. I think once you make an aggressive move like that there's only ever gonna be one outcome.
seating needs to be looked at as the atmosphere is killed as people are spreadout and aren't allowed to stand. anyone wanting to sit throughout should not then sit at the back as argument and scenes like this will happen repeatedly. older people and supporters wanting to sit should be allowed to enjoy the game, having the oppetunity to choose to sit near the front would help to stop this happening again.

There seems to be something more of a feud in this rather than the standing/sitting debate from what I've read so far.

I pay to have a decent view of the game, not a worm's-eye view. I've no problem with someone wanting to stand if they want to, but THEY should be the one to piss off and find somewhere else where it doesn't bother anybody.
If you want to sit down you dont go near the back in the middle.

We sold 600 tickets out of over 1000 allocated. There should have been plenty of empty ones if people moved!

Two of the lads that got escorted out the ground, entered the ground behind me and both paid junior price.

Means nowt I've done it recently and I'm 25 next week.From what I saw stewards made it worse. Overheard one gloating about how many punches he got in - pathetic.There wasn't much room though they could easily have sat near us where there were a few seats near the front. Despite any of it, it made for great scenes when we scored.
There weren't 375 empty seats, no way.
Certainly seems we are getting a reputation at away games.Trouble after Sheff Utd. The incident at Leyton Orient, now this.Reminds me of when we went down to the Conference. We pretty much terrorised every place we visited.
