Gaffer Posted 6 October 2012 Posted 6 October 2012 I was wondering if anyone could clear something up for me, specifically the ground rules on climbing over seats. At the end of the game we usually climb over a few rows to get to the smaller set of stairs of an exit below us. Every couple of seats I'll push a seat forward and use that to step down, today I got an earful from a steward about stepping on seats and how it's breaking the rules. On the way out I asked another steward who said that it was because if I was to injure myself then I wouldn't be entitiled to sue the club. It's not in my nature to blame/sue other people for my own incompetence, so I intend to carry on doing this, does anyone know the specific rule? Or does this jobsworth steward have a point?
Jace Posted 6 October 2012 Posted 6 October 2012 Pretty sure there will not be a rule that allows you to stand on the seats
Bert Posted 6 October 2012 Posted 6 October 2012 They are right in what they say, but maybe just being a bit busy.
Freeman's Wharfer Posted 6 October 2012 Posted 6 October 2012 Why stand on the seats anyway? Exiting via the stairs doesn't take all that much longer and doesn't dirty/damage someone else's seat. That in itself is good enough reason for the stewards to tell you not to.
FrankieADZ Posted 6 October 2012 Posted 6 October 2012 so its you getting bloody footprints on my seat then....git
DB11 Posted 6 October 2012 Posted 6 October 2012 Why do you have to stand on the seat? Surely that's more unstable than just stepping over it
Guest parky0607 Posted 6 October 2012 Posted 6 October 2012 Cant believe how many people left early today, especially considering the boys won. Fire drill was firmly put into practice.

acooling08 Posted 6 October 2012 Posted 6 October 2012 I have long enough legs to be able to step down without folding the seat down.
Mike the Metal Ed Posted 6 October 2012 Posted 6 October 2012 After we stayed up at Deepdale in 2007, the steward told me to stop standing on seats to climb down the stand. I decided to finish with a flourish by springboarding off the back of the last seat. Turns out they're not great at supporting weight, I lost my balance and nearly landed on said steward.
Benji Posted 6 October 2012 Posted 6 October 2012 Personally, think it shows a complete lack of respect when people do that. Each to their own though.
Mike the Metal Ed Posted 6 October 2012 Posted 6 October 2012 Not saying it's big or clever btw, . It was just a bit awkward and makes me laugh.
Jimothy Posted 6 October 2012 Posted 6 October 2012 Why do you have to stand on the seat? Surely that's more unstable than just stepping over it If you have short legs like me, there's noway you'd be able to climb over one of those seats without folding down first.
purpleronnie Posted 6 October 2012 Posted 6 October 2012 If you have short legs like me, there's noway you'd be able to climb over one of those seats without folding down first. Man.....how short are your legs?
Gaffer Posted 6 October 2012 Author Posted 6 October 2012 If you have short legs like me, there's noway you'd be able to climb over one of those seats without folding down first. This is also my problem. Short arse that I am.
Jimothy Posted 6 October 2012 Posted 6 October 2012 Man.....how short are your legs? I've only got like a 29 inch inside leg! Saying I can't step over them might be a bit of an exaggeration but it's certainly a lot easier by folding them down.
Dan Posted 6 October 2012 Posted 6 October 2012 After we stayed up at Deepdale in 2007, the steward told me to stop standing on seats to climb down the stand. I decided to finish with a flourish by springboarding off the back of the last seat. Turns out they're not great at supporting weight, I lost my balance and nearly landed on said steward. I climbed over a seat at Deepdale when we made the play-offs, got my fvcking underwear caught on a seat when climbing over, ripped them, tripped over and fell flat and worst of all my mates didn't actually see it - randomers did but not my mates who walked on without me and I was running all over the place looking for our coach.
AoWW Posted 6 October 2012 Posted 6 October 2012 I'm short (no more than 5'5) and fat and even I can step from one row to another over the seats without having to put the seat down and stand on it.
Bluetintedspecs Posted 6 October 2012 Posted 6 October 2012 I think you should get some patience, or leave with the people who when we're winning 2-0 incredibly were filing out with over 5 mins of normal time to go, embarassing lack of respect/support to a team going top of the league.Whoever you are it's shameful.
Foxfromburbage Posted 6 October 2012 Posted 6 October 2012 Maybe a long middle wicket causes him to use the seat as a step. Personally an extra couple of minutes queuing does not give anyone the right to stand on my seat !
