Yes , and as the Knights office is next door to SMC/City office they should be on speaking terms. Or are City/SMC jealous that Knights Office is four times the size of theirs and have taken their ball home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea Andy but I would have thought that should already have been done by either the Knights office or more likely the ticket office. They could put stickers on for the rugby season ticket holders and also for the soccer club's season ticket holders as they should have lists of both. This is what we see at other clubs and it seems to work ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly , if your mates weren't there you could have gone back to your allocated seats and ask the persons to move , effectively you had 2 positions available ! , I personally feel the way forward is that only the premier seats are bookable , the rest should be first come first served .

Clarence Street Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 There are 5 of us in our group and we have season tickets in Premier. Arrived on Sunday and a couple with 2 young daughters were sat in 4 of our seats. They wouldn't move at first and told us to sit in some seats directly in front of ours on the next row. We said no because someone would be coming along with tickets for those seats and demanding WE move. After some arguing the toss they eventually moved and they sat in the seats on the row in front. Sure enough, 5 minutes after kick off, 2 couples arrived with drinks in hand demanding those seats for which they'd paid £45 apiece including hospitality. Finally a steward arrived and the argument continued until the couple and 2 kiddies left the seats with the steward and we saw them end up sat near the corner flag, right at the end of the stand.

Roger York Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 To be honest it’s a farce you have we have a fantastic stadium we are building a great club yet we get let down by external forces. To open one stand on Sunday was embarrassing the stand can’t have been far off full what happened when it’s full do we turn customers who wanted to pay on the day away or rush around ring stewards and open another stand?? The questionnaire we received last year I’m sure a lot of people comments would have been to sort it out even when I picked my season ticket up last year the guy in front of me was complaining to the management company about the stewards letting people sit where they want. Your right if the people who were sat in the premier seats were visiting for the first time they are very unlikely to return due to been misinformed by the stewards we want extra supporters not to be losing them before we start. Hopefully we can rectify this and look forward to talking about the academy and more positive things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toby The Tram Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Please don’t be that idiot at the forum who asks to charge u16s an entry fee. There’s always one.

The worrying thing is it says that the Hull SMC has a 50 year lease with the council I hope it’s not the same at York. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
