I'll be sitting down myself and asking the person in front to be charitable and do likewise.

Spoke to Wembley about some hospitality tickets this morning, and they're being deluged by requests from Villa fans.  Fulham fans, not nearly as much apparently.

It's brilliant that this has all been sorted well in advance, last time it was a nightmare, nobody knew whether they were 'Gurdian' readers or standing.

I'm in 534. Am I sitting or standing? I was planning to maybe have a bit of a lean midway through the second half, will that be okay?

Maybe if you lean backwards so the back of your seat breaks your fall you could get away with a lean?

Some blocks haven't been released yet or have only been partly released. I reckon we've sold around 23,000.

Exactly. It's on the villa website that they will be released block by block so while the numbers left appear to be low, tickets haven't been released for a good chunk of the ground yet. Not sure why they do it like this though and just not open the whole of the allocation to those who can buy seats.   

I would guess it's because if there's any shortfall in ticket sales better to have a full block and an empty one that two that are half-full. This will help segregation and also mean that if one club sells more than another, extra tickets can be made available for the one who's sold out.

No - It's because they are trying to ensure that there is always availability across the spectrum, rather than there being limited options on priced/categories.

I'm very supportive of the ticket office but I don't think they've covered themselves in glory this time around. Blocks are popping up all over the place for purchase at random times. It should have been made available across the board on a first come, first serve basis. I can half live with perhaps the last blocks on one side being kept back for segregation but in doing so, you would be holding back prime seats.

Are you still moaning? Really, it's such a silly thing for you to go on about. The vast majority of fans will be happy to be going and couldn't give a toss about your block and ticket.

I might just lie in the aisle, I shouldn't upset the sitters OR the standers too much then.

My latest conundrum... is 534 a pitch invaders' section of a booing pitch invaders section? I'd hate to have my lack of North Birmingham working class credentials exposed by a grass incursion faux pas.

The answer lies buried in the lyrics of the Buju Banton album 'Til Shiloh. Or something like that.

Which blocks are you allowed to read the Guardian in at half time ?
