Wembley

[jaysay]

Watched the league cup final this afternoon and every time I watch a game at Wembley I get really annoyed, today was no exception. Every time a game is played there the seats at each side of the dugouts are never taken before kick of and many people don't come back to their seats after half time, today half of them weren't occupied at anytime during the match. Its obvious that these seats are allocated to corporate sponsors the best seats in the house, but what's the point, why give these seats to people who are quite obviously not interested in football so stuff them up the top and give these seats to genuine supporters, they can then stay in the bar drinking champers all afternoon while real football fans get a better view of there team

Quite agree about the allocation Jay but would never choose to sit in those seats anyway, and that applies to all grounds. I much prefer to be higher up in the stands where you can get a far better overall view of the match - mind you 140 plus steps the last time was a killer, perhaps when my knees are sorted it won't seem as bad

My seat at Ewood was just right of the centre spot in the front row of the Nuttall St stand, those were the good old days when the enclosure was standing in front of the stand, I got a great view, and it was only 4 steps down to the bar at half time
