Seating issue can be solved

standing, this can be incredibly frustrating and dispiriting, and I know of at least two cases where it’s caused long-time Terriers to avoid away fixtures altogether.

Thankfully, the solution is obvious, straightforward, and should please just about everyone.

All clubs have to do is allocate block seating, with an unreserved section at the back for those who want to stand (marked ‘S’ for singing, of course), and a reserved section in front for those who want to sit.

Barring some unforeseen bureaucratic obstacle, it shouldn’t be too hard to extend the block scheme to those who pay on the day.

Countless clubs across Europe operate a similar system, as have Town in the past, so we know it works.

That’s why HTSA will be pushing for its adoption at the next ATT meeting.

We’ll be running a coach to Burton on Tuesday, December 13. Town’s allocation consists of 1,350 old-fashioned terrace tickets and 340 seated tickets, with priority for the latter going to families and seniors.

Members can reserve a seat for just £13.50. The coach will be departing from outside the Fantastic Media Stand at 4.30pm sharp.

You can book by ringing our Travel Line on 07905 580784 or emailing Robert Pepper (repepper.rep@gmail. com).

Since this is our first trip to Brewers country, we expect demand for places to be high, so make sure you get yours early.

Remember, HTSA are the voice of the fans. If you’d like to know more or get involved, feel free to email our chairman, Trev Whitehead (chair@ htsa-online.co.uk).
