It seems that if I want to go to the match sitting next to anyone, I have to go into L7 with my 72-year old Dad (using the lift as those stairs are a write-off) or rely on the kindness of others on here (two of which have already came through for me which is greatly appreciated).
Not really the way it should be. Ballot should be drawn if they absolutely insist on having one and then every winner should go into the queue for seat selection.
