At the prostar/greenhouse Meadow.
I know a lot will say since the Gay meadow days, but just wondering what % of B and A's season ticket holders have had ST since the first season, and how many of us got them and have kept them since the club did the open day when the stadium was finished so you could walk about and pick your seat out and then pay???
be intresting to see how many ST holder did that and have been in the same seat ever since?
I did and I have to say I feel pretty attached to that seat!

I actually picked my seat and that of my mate before the open day due to a very useful connection!! Karma came round and bit me though because it turned out to be 3 seats away from a very well-known racist/foul-mouthed person in block 18, so eventually we were forced to move.
Now in Block 17, amongst a good bunch of lads who tolerate my trips to the loo after 31 minutes of every home game.
Can't see a set of circumstnaces where I wouldn't have a ST.

I've been a ST holder since the new ground was opened. First 2 seasons I was in Block 6 and then changed to block 7. Last season, this season and next season I have been/will be in block8.

Myself and Ben were season ticket holders at The Gay Meadow, standing on The Wakeman End after initially being in the main stand when Ben was a real youngster - Sat in the same seats in the South Stand at Planet Greenhous since the very first game and love it there.
I've held a season ticket for more years than I care to remember and Ben for some 12/13 years now.

I couldn't remember the date, but presume it was then due to the Liverpool fiasco (I still have a voucher for a ticket ) I did have a standing season ticket in the early 80's, but they gave up on them Been in the same seat at the back of block 17 since we moved and can't see it changing

The point was made at the time of the Liverpool fiasco that ST's would be way of ensuring the 'regulars' got a ticket for big cup games without any hassle. (ALS had been making the point for years.) The club always said that there wasn't a demand for ST's. I wonder what they would think of the current numbers of season ticket holders?

To be fair though, a lot of that is down to it being all-seating. I had a season ticket 3 times on and off at Gay Meadow, but didn't bother the last 4 years. Only got one again so I could sit in the same seat each week at the new ground. I'd guess that over half the ST holders now think the same, seeing as the number of ST holders doubled when we moved grounds.

Same seat in Block 18 since it opened - riverside before that and family stand before that.............. main reason is to guarantee tickets for all matches and know I'd still go so saves money. Miss The gay Meadow every match

I got my first ST in season 2006/07, the last at Gay Meadow and my first year of retirement.
Before that I worked away too often to make a ST viable.

I have moved around with my season tickets sinc ehte new ground opened, bloock 17 to start and it was full of some of the clubs most pompous fans and i just didn't like it so I moved to 9 with the then newly formed ultras and it was fun until everyone went to 19 and thats where I have been since. My misses has put her foot down and said I have to move from 19 if i'm to take my lad who loves it and goes everyweek. She heard about the Oxford game unsavouries and wasn't happy so I wont be in 19 next season.

Had one with my dad for centre stand in 76/77 season (no idea why) as we never sat there before or after. Then got one late 70s and early 80s for riverside. Then again when we moved to the new ground but didn't renew last summer. Have quite enjoyed moving round the stadium this season.

Didn't have one for the first season here but have had one in the South Stand for the last three seasons and renewed for next season.
Did have one for several seasons as a youngster in the early eighties. Attended reasonably regularly in the nineties. Lost interest in the early noughties before regaining interest in recent years.

I'm one of the "pompous" fans who has been in block 17 since we moved to the New Meadow. First season was a little difficult as there was a town fan in the block who kept proclaiming the end of the world. Fortunately they moved after that year Season ticket holder since 1994 at gay meadow before the move to the new stadium.

Have had a season ticket at the new ground from the 1st season we moved there. Still in the same seat in block 10, with the southstand moaners! My first season ticket at the Gay Meadow was 78/79 as a young lad. Not a bad one to have, thanks dad! . Then had a season ticket on and off depending on work, but had for the last 6 seasons at the GM.

Have been a ST holder since 2003 i think.
My ST at the Greenhous is at the back of Block 17 but i didnt really like it there. So since the Club opened up Block 19 i have been milling around there instead but just found it easier to renew my old seat in B17 and i still know people who sit there should the rules regarding B19 change.
Due to the allocated seats thing in B19 on Friday i will be back in the seat i pay for in B17 for the first time since the Bury playofff game two years ago. Going to feel a bit weird that.

Went to the new ground, tried seats in different stands @ different levels and made a decision.So, have sat in Block15 RowQ with my mate since the new ground opened. Have already paid for ST for next season. Previously stood in the Station End, Riverside and for the last few seasons was a Wakemen Ender at the G.M. Could,nt afford a ST before, but now pay something like £13:41 per game as against £13 per game at GM. Tremendous value and hope to be a ST holder for years to come(regardless of which League we are in)
