This is so true Dan. There are folks at the game whose name you might not know, but have more conversations with them in a month than you do some family members in a year.
In what other setting do your share an emotional connection with so many people, who you know nothing more about?

Nobody was able to sit in last seasons allocated seat so it makes sense to revert to the previous seasons where you can once again join friends and family in a familiar area.

Having said that, it puts into perspective why a football fan like me actually goes to live matches. The TV experience is like an academic exercise; you get a good (if flat) view of the match play, but there's no "matchday experience". I know that many people call themselves fans of various clubs even though they rarely turn a stile on match day.
The buzz of a stadium is sorely missed. The build up includes finding somewhere to park, perhaps, seeing the stream of people heading towards the distant floodlights, the smell of frying sausage and onions, meeting up at the pub, the green of the pitch, the hubbub of fans building up in the stands, the PA system, the struggle to a cold, cramped and uncomfortable seat...often the actual game is the least memorable part. The experience is what you get addicted to, and if there are memorable matches you can say that you were there.
If we had nothing but televised matches to look forward to I'm sure that season tickets would eventually nosedive, so I'm pleased that, fingers crossed, we'll be using them next season for the whole experience. I'll be grabbing mine as soon as it's available.

We want our original seats in the North Stand back.

Must be the Flitcroft effect (cue gnashing of teeth by the usual suspects).

The Port Vale fans have mentioned he won't have anything to do with day to day running of the team, which must be a huge relief for them
