Cashy, I don't think Stanley are unique with regard to this problem.
Most other clubs adopt exactly the same policy.
No one wants to upset loyal fans, especially those forking out for a season ticket.
The trouble is that some s/t holders feel entitled to their own chosen seat, when they all know that this doesn't apply to cup games.
This situation arises for only maybe 2 or 3 games in a season, with luck!
To compensate for having to move seats, the club have offered s/t holders the chance to buy multiple tickets, so they can still sit with their mates if they wish.
In return, the club get a chance to attract some much needed income & who knows, new fans!
Surely a little flexibility regarding seat allocation is a small price to pay so we can all help safeguard the future viability of our club.
