The guy next to me always sits half on my seat despite me telling him many times, thank goodness he leaves 15 minutes before full time and I can breath out, I even told him that when I renew next season, I am going to tell ticket office I only want to pay for half a seat as he is always on mine, he ignored me ever since.

Warm though, in the winter months!

Especially if he breaks wind on a regular basis.

Typical of how people are these days though, rather than accepting his bad and doing something about it (even maybe apologising) he just chooses to have a big sulk and ignore you.

If it is Adidas, I wonder if they will have their name in the seats like a few other grounds.  Would bump up the deal and help pay for a new stand?
As it happens, I had a cheese dream the other night when I thought with the 2k-3k extra seats, maybe they're just planning on ripping out and replacing *all* the seats.  Make them 5% narrower and you've accounted for 2000 extra seats right there.

If Adidas were to pay for the cost of those new seats, in exchange for having their name written out for however many years, it's a near cost-neutral ground expansion.
You might as well sell 2 tickets per seat,as you will be sitting on someones lap if they make them any smaller.

I had a season ticket in the Trinity and a bloke  with his enormous Son ( see Harvey Price) who would sit on me every week.
I spoke to the ticket office and I got moved.

Next game, get there first and as he approaches, give him a wink and pat the seat.

Shame, you could have bonded by bitching about his father.

There's a very big lad sometimes has the seats next to us. It was fine at the Arsenal game as my Mrs was the other side of me, but if he comes when my mate decides to actually use his ticket I'm fucked.
