    If you mean the info about the original zonal price categories, it's in the first post.

    Why don't you tell us all exactly what happened then ?

    This is obviously a big issue for you but why assume everybody else knows

    Some fans went to the club and encouraged the move , is that what you mean ?

    Don’t tell me to get a grip. I don’t react well to patronising attitudes
    I’ll decide what’s important to me

    EDIT - and no by the way the location of away fans in cup games wasn’t something I considered when buying a seat in N Stand
    We have, from memory, 2 weeks to decide where to sit, close season, while people were away on holidays and had the added problem of having to all turn up, in person, to try and sort it whilst not being able to see any suggestion of available seats online.

    It would appear that either Nigel hasn't been listened to, or he has missed the importance of allowing the Forest fans to take over the North stand. If I was the manager I wouldn't want them behind the goals, which is detrimental to City IMO. The likelihood is that he did tell Ehab, but as usual he didn't take notice of people that know more about it than he does.

    Has daft lad shaved off the last few strands of his desperately thinning Barnet yet?

    6,000 Man Utd fans are "evicted" from their seats for Cup Games, 5,000 or so at Arsenal, 4,000 at Newcastle...It isn't unique to us.

    If they hadn't done it this way 2,000 or so in the East Stand would have had to move.This is what happens when away teams ask for full allocations for cup games.

    In my opinion your presumption is incorrect, I'm of the same opinion when it comes to Martin Fish and Bradford City.

    Man Utd don't give away fans the Stretford End (etc etc).
    The issue isn't this specific game, it's the lack of understanding of, and thought for, fans full stop.

    Man United pass holders are automatically issued their seats for FA Cup games, which suggests to me that they that they don't put pass holders in seats where the expanded cup allocations are required. There's 55,000 pass holders at Man United, in a 76,000 capacity stadium, so presumably it would be quite easy to leave several thousand as matchday only tickets so they can make them available for cup games.

    I've no idea if this is what happens, but it would seem sensible and the automatic allocation of tickets to all pass holders makes it seem fairly likely.

    That's not true though is it. There was never an issue until the E1-E3 lot were moved into the north. Until then there was never any chance of people having to move because the away fans just went in the away end, and home fans only got tickets in there when there was a small away following and a big home one.

    Why don’t we put them in West Lower?
    1. Easy to steward with upstairs being closed anyway
    2. It means they can’t create a good atmosphere behind one goal
    3. It means that the loudest part of the Home fans wouldn’t be split up all over

    Genuine question
