marcia blaine Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) My JHS seat is slightly apart from the centre of the stand, and there’s no sticker on it to say it’s reserved. Is that the case for everyone or is it just me? Hard to tell because I’m away from most ST holders. Every week there’s someone in my seat. I can usually sit nearby but a) there’ll come a time when I can’t and b) I could be nicking someone else’s seat. Just wondering if it’s an oversight or something I’ll need to address myself (by making an official-looking sticker of my own ) Edited November 1, 2018 by marcia blaine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinhead Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 The seats should be stickered, email the club and they will sort it for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jag Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 Our seats actually have stickers on them but we still have to regularly move people from sitting on them. The stewards tell everybody that they can sit wherever they like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashman Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 This should be fairly straightforward, the club should send you a sticker with your name and the season on it and you then take it along at the first game you go to. Even if they would make them and let you pick them up rather than posting them out. I would happily add £1-2 to my season ticket to get this. Although my pensioner dad wouldn't as he is still miffed they jacked up the OAP season tickets when we got relegated... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why should a ST holder have to go collect a sticker from the club and stick it on to his seat. The ST guarantees your own seat for home league games, it’s the clubs responsibility to do this. What next the ST holders turn up with a bucket and a sponge to clear the pigeon shit off the seats, or bring their own tool kit to fix their seat after Celtic visit 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 A big problem is the amount of stickers left over from previous seasons. It's difficult to say which seats are taken for this season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stewards tell everybody that they can sit wherever they like. Where I sit it's the opposite. Folk come into the ST area, realise seats reserved and show their tickets to the nearby steward. He directs them to the seats as per their tickets, which of course is unnecessary and no doubt leads to further confusion. What's so difficult in just telling folk they can sit anywhere that doesn't have a reserved sticker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it quite embarrassing asking people to move and have had a couple of near altercations because of it. Needless situation. I emailed the club about it but nothing has changed. There was also a time last season a guy insisted he sat in my seat every week and refused to move at first. He came over at half time and apologised to be fair but I hadn't actually missed a game before that point so I don't know what he was on..

West Ender Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 I do have a season ticket but seldom sit in my designated seat. Nobody bothers and on the very few times when it's busy I will sit in my designated pew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonehJags Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 Our seats in the north stand were the original stickers from 2013/14 since we moved from the jhs but tbh its the least of my worries about the club 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metz Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 I was proud to be a Thistle fan and probably deep down still am but have to admit I didn't realise how precious some Jags fans were and this is a prime example of what I mean. There's plenty of seats it holds over 6000 and we attract 2000 just sit in one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auld Jag Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 If things don't improve soon the next complaint will be the seats are facing the pitch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowenBoys Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 Given the state of the club at the moment, the OPs point may seem trivial. However, it is not. Season ticket holders are given the option of retaining their chosen seat. It should, therefore, be available to them to sit on. In the area of customer relations, the club really needs a kick up the ar5e. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stickers on seats, the HT draw being impossible to claim, the massive downgrade of Jagszone all add the the feeling the club is heading in the wrong direction, the basics with customer engagement are being done poorly, add this to the poor performances over last 18 months and you have the perfect mix for losing fans 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a huge loss perhaps, but it would be nice to know who the half-time guest was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
