They only opened up the middle section with about 15 min to go to kick off when it was blindingly obvious the section they had set aside for us was too small.
Queens were completely blameless here. They had £23 adult covered seating tickets and £17 adult uncovered seating ones to sell. Hearts just decided to lump everyone together and it wasn't really good enough.

Personally, I was quite happy with the "sit anywhere" policy. The seat for the ticket I bought was quite well up in the stand and my creaking old knees climbing all those steps, vertigo and possible oxygen starvation at that height may have caused a problem so I sat nearer the front. The Stewards probably decided to allow people to sit anywhere so they wouldn't be bothered by people constantly asking them for directions to their seat despite the tickets clearly having the section, row and seat number printed on them so they could easily find their own seat. Much ado about nothing.

They should have charged everyone the same , that's all.
Not so many Doonhamer fans at Tynie as there were at Easter Road but Christmas will soon be upon us with all the expense it entails especially if you have kids.
