fans interacting with the club

Do you think he's entitled to take a season ticket holder's seat?

There's more at play in the low crowds than ticket only turnstiles or one or two people's personal dislike of the Stadium Manager - the ****e we're given on the park is a bigger influence in my opinion.

Don't dislike him I respect him.

Clubs responsibillity to put reserved stickers on seats, then stewards and police to do there job if guys are sittng in a reserved seat.

But no one would sit in a crap row/ seat despite what it says on ticket.

The ticketing policy has had a detrimental effect on attendances that there is no doubt.

At least the old fans rep didnt agree with it .

They haven't changed stickers in years.

I never sit in my reserved seat....no issues

anyone know how many s/tkts there are in the coxy?compared to actual seats

I'd guess there are around 1400 spare seats.

I think they put stickers on any new seats that are booked but don't take them off ones that aren't renewed.

Apologies, forgot about his nickname

Ticketing policy is definitely affecting some people's attendance but not as many as are being put off by the shocking prices or the crap being served up on the park. All need addressed IMO.

Old fans' rep was a very misunderstood individual; nobody who spoke to him had a clue what he was talking about.

Deeranged I agree with you to a certain extent but there were plenty posters warning that when folk lost the habit of going they would stay away.

Club made it a hassle to get in, folk got pissed off and stayed away.

Even if 200/300 stop going because they can't be arsed getting a ticket it has a knock on effect, their bairns stop coming, easier for their mates to stop coming and so on.

Derry issue, tickets and over policing of our more exuberant fans has cost us 500 or so regulars minimum and it hasn't bottomed out yet.

Which isn't really very clever.

Season ticket seats used to have a Reserved sticker on them, to be honest I haven’t noticed if mine still has or not, had the same seat for years. Will check on Saturday.

If anyone was sitting in mine, I’d tell them to move too. Anyone sitting in a reserved seat that’s not their’s has no argument really, there are tons of unreserved seats.

Very true. However I was on the verge of not renewing my season ticket because of the garbage I sat through last season - if I want to get depressed I'll speak to the wife. If my brother hadn't got his I genuinely wouldn't have bothered. I can imagine plenty people won't have been as weak willed as me.
