Watched countless games from block 19 and don't think I've ever stood in my actual seat. It normally ends up two to a seat for the big games anyway. I think it was officially unallocated seating a few years back, not sure if that's still the case. It's exactly how it should be, have a few beers, turn up at the ground at 2.55, stand where you want with whoever you want. Depends on your circumstance, if your with younger or a family together you need to be together so if you turn up at 2.55 your ‘allocated seats’ are waiting for you..... not commenting on Block 19 but any other part of the ground if they were in my space (we stand) then they move 👍 The thing is, if it weren't for pearl clutchers like Pilch and cheggars the club could just advertise Block 19 as a slightly noisier area of unreserved seating where there's a more relaxed attitude towards standing and people could make their ticket purchases accordingly with all the required information. I will add that I've attended the majority of home fixtures since Block 19 became "a thing" and stood in that area of the ground. I'm struggling to recall a time where I've seen a dispute arise over the arrangements which are basically common sense; if you want to stand, head towards the back, places are on a first come, first served basis. For a game where sales have been limited to one per person and it's not always possible for groups of mates to buy their tickets at one time, surely that's actually a common sense approach? I am one of a group of 7 of us attending on Sunday. 2 of us (myself included) have season tickets, 2 were in the first band of loyalty points, 3 more in the next band. Absolutely no way of buying tickets as a block together yet at least 4 or 5 of us will stand together on Block 19 every single home game come rain or shine and have done for years, and did so on the Riverside before that. Why should a loyal group of fans suffer inconvenience because a part timer (who clearly is so ill informed about the club and its culture that they would choose Block 19 as an appropriate place to sit) insists on sitting in their arbitrarily assigned seats?

Yeah, spot on, good man. The reason there's never any problem with the arrangement in 19 is because it's full of sound, like-minded individuals who just want to enjoy the game in a relaxed environment with their mates.

However if you go on live Ticketmaster and choose a seat in block 19 there should be a warning, unreserved seating or standing area as with Safe Standing where it states this is a safe standing area cos you can’t blame the ‘part timer’ for choosing there in ignorance..... JUST NEEDS THE CLUB TO GIVE A WARNING when purchasing tickets there .....

Never been called a "pearl clutcher" before, will tell the wife she can have a new name for me. My point is that why should you basically demand your position, and if you don't want anyone else to have it then get a season ticket. I for one think B19 is great and stood/sat there on many an occasion, the same with the Riverside, but I don't assume I have a right to sit there if I didn't get my seats sorted. Agree the club could communicate this arrangement a bit better and it would be arguably better for the atmosphere but they haven't. I go with a couple of mates regularly but because of varying loyalty points collected we will be sitting apart, not ideal but something I accept under the circumstances.

I'm surprised that there are still so many tickets left. I guess the fact that the game is live on TV may be of some relevance. Why surprised? Our gates suggest there are about 2,000 non-STH home supporters per game. There'd need to be 5-5,500 of those wanting tickets and having at least 3-4 loyalty points for us to sell out today, which seems unlikely.

Where else can she go but her allocated seat? On the rare occasions the ground's full, we can't always have what we want.

Regardless of rules, regs, etc etc, I think you are missing the point, that you cannot expect people to move as they are in "your seat", it isn't yours and it has been legally sold to someone else for this particular game. What is all this c##p about authority, sterile blocks etc, look at the what the club has done with safe standing to improve things with the atmosphere. I agreed in an earlier post that this could be improved, maybe singing blocks like Wembley, but if this is so important make a representation to the club.

I'm not sure who you mean by "our authorities" but the club clearly has to observe the safety rules as they're set down. In practice, I agree a lot of that is fiction - people often sit where they like (or can - I know I don't occupy my STH place) and stand in some parts of the ground. That's fine. When the ground's sold out it's a bit different and, whether you're standing or not, you can't really expect unallocated seating to apply freely. Of course you want to be with your friends. I'd like to be with my family there but I know that can't happen because we only have 2 STs and there are 4 or more of us. I know block 19's different and I don't have a problem with that at all, but Sunday will be exceptional and there could be people in there who don't know how it normally works but have no option to go anywhere else. Hopefully it's all hypothetical and there are no issues, or none that can't be settled amicably. I just get a bit riled by the cliquey "tourists not welcome here" approach of some. Coincidentally, I went to see "1917" the other night and found our seats occupied by someone else. We sat elsewhere - there was no standing area - but I found myself glancing at the later arrivals as they studied their tickets for seat numbers and half expected a chain of seat changes to be initiated. Didn't happen thankfully but it would have been more relaxing if we could just have had the seats we booked.

Bare in mind this game hasn’t reached general sale yet and might not, so every fan in attendance should have some idea of what block 19 entails and will have had the choice to go elsewhere.

Still plenty of seats in some blocks away from Block 19. If I had Juan loyalty point, I'd be very confident of getting a ticket. Not sure we'll sell out tbh, after all, Liverpool are hardly the most attractive of opposition.

Going to get slaughtered by some for this but do some in block 19 think they are above the stadium rules etc and think they are allowed to do as they please with scant regard for anyone else because that’s the impression many would get from reading some of the nonsense on here
Or am I just getting old?

The point surely is that by Friday there may be a few seats only in block 19. People may well then buy them rather than not go. I honestly think that on these rare occasions fans should remember that we are all fans and treat people with respect. After all you can always ask nicely for someone to just swop a seat number because you want to be with friends. You may or may not get a nice reply back but who knows - politeness frequently works.
Just to add putting out one lady is presumably better than upsetting three little girls?!

I’ve never seen it happen in 19, and I bet it doesn’t happen this weekend. More likely to happen amongst the up-tight, regimented individuals occupying the other 18 blocks.

Didn't the club implement changes after this anyway? You won't know this (since despite pontificating about it all day you never actually get within ten metres of the West Stand and know **** all about what happens there), but on big game days, the club posts stewards to check tickets on entry to block 19; the unallocated seating thing only happens amongst those people who have purchased tickets to that block. We still don't have any evidence of the "poor innocent woman" trying to take her seat and receiving a mouthful but let's suppose somebody with a ticket at the back of block 19 does find their seat taken there is likely to be seats at the front of the stand because the stewards should prevent non block 19 ticket holders from entering the area. Despite the hysteria from you, this is how I would expect the issue to be solved. Steward kindly explains the situation to the newbies who are probably a lot happier sitting at the front with an unimpeded view and not surrounded by noisier fans any way. It's only when some curmudgeon insists on taking their seat at the back and then starts shouting the odds to those around them that we get problems but again, struggling to find an example of when that has actually happened (outside of Pilch's fevered imagination, of course)

how about someone on this very thread admitted they are all set to break rules on sunday , not only taking someone elses seat but standing in it once one person breaks the rule this has a domino effect where it forces other fans to do the same, this then encourages idiots to hide in the crowd and act like fools, a goal goes in and they are no sooner on pitch making an arse of themselves its happened time and time again here's one occasion blueandamber.proboards.com/thread/73411/fans-blocks-18-19It's only when some curmudgeon insists on taking their seat at the back and then starts shouting the odds to those around them that we get problems but again, struggling to find an example of when that has actually happened (outside of Pilch's fevered imagination, of course) I can think of a time, as it happens. Forest away when Pilch was actually the person kicking off... Ended up in a scuffle with Pughywasfree so the story goes... But other than Pilch himself, I can't think of an incident.

Pilch has an underlying issue with someone in block 19, must be a historical thing, awaiting clarity. His irrational rants about block 19 are plain strange.
