Let's come to an agreement now
For the Newcastle game do we sit in our allocated seat?

It doesn't mean.that they will let you sit anywhere in the stand.We’ve got 5,240 seats and so far have sold 3600 so no we don’t. Stand where you like as there’s plenty of space. Different story if it’s a sell out which it won’t be

This is just so unfair on those who will be unable to stand or do not wish to be "amongst" the singers etc. We now know that our seats are at the very top of the middle block, prime candidates for standing and singers.Sneaked in under the "Under 12`s offer".............
"Please note that tickets are reserved for particular seats and fans are required to sit in their numbered seat or risk ejection from the ground. "
Under 12s Offer
With a crowd of over 45,000 already, including over 3,500 Oxford fans, is our Emirates FA Cup fourth round game at Newcastle heading for a sell out on Saturday?www.oufc.co.uk
well said @ManorloungerThis is just so unfair on those who will be unable to stand or do not wish to be "amongst" the singers etc. We now know that our seats are at the very top of the middle block, prime candidates for standing and singers.
We were given no choice in where are seats would be located. If we are then to be subjected to a steward insisting that we take up our "allocated" seats, they better be ready for a damn good argument if we are unable to see the game.
This does not happen at other entertainment venues, it does not happen at Wembley games, it would never be tolerated at most venues outside of football. Why then are we treated as second class citizens and pushed around like cattle? It's not even as if NUFC had limited capacity.
It is high time this practice was ended. At the very least, there could be a choice of areas, one for those who wish to congregate, sing etc. and others for those who simply wish to use the seat for sitting on. As it stands, there will be, without doubt, issues with supporters wanting to take up seats in other sections, the later arrivals coming in from the pubs will want to stay together, families with children/youngsters will want a safe environment. And, on that subject, where exactly are these "kids for a quid" going to be seated? Has anyone given any thought to their safety?
I don't mind allocated seating but, I will choose where that allocated seat is to be, not some random selection at the time of posting.

Exactly this. Stay in your allocated seats until 2:55 then swop with someone appropriate. A free-for-all to begin with will just cause issues.Talk to a steward as they may have no problem if you can find a likely number who will be willing to swap or just do it without telling them.
Exactly what we have done in the past. Walsall worked very well, but they changed from allocated to sit where you want when they realised what a nice bunch of people we OUFC supporters were really!Talk to a steward as they may have no problem if you can find a likely number who will be willing to swap or just do it without telling them.
Basically at Walsall they gave up, asked if we had tickets we said totes and carried on walking and sat where wanted to.Exactly what we have done in the past. Walsall worked very well, but they changed from allocated to sit where you want when they realised what a nice bunch of people we OUFC supporters were really!
Some stewards are really good and others well, we've all met them at some time or another!
