Exactly the same experience for me at Bristol last week, Darren.
We were told to sit in our ticketed seats by the stewards, no choice
Surrounded by teen yobos who spent the whole game gesturing at the Bristol hardcore away to our left, no interest in the match.
Surely not, I spoke to a couple of tidy stewards last week at Bristol, and as far as sitting,?? After half time, did seem a bit of bish bosh mash, trying to get through people. People standing at the front of the stairwell, a quick polite can I get through, solved the problem.
