Don't stand on the seats!!
Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

Two reasons:

 
(a) People are injuring themselves.
 
and
 
 
(b) There are no replacements seats left at the minute.

Thread is worthless without videos of people injuring themselves while standing on the seats.

I've just been talking to the guys at the stadium and there are people being hurt. Even just doing as arnies comments.  Look after yourselves people!!

 
and FYI: The stadium has placed nearly a thousand seats in the last twelve months...

There is a technique to getting over the seats. Its not by standing on them.

Mr. Incredible stood on one and it folded back while he was on it. Hilarity and a stuck leg ensued.Stefan2010-03-05 16:20:20

Surely people on this forum would be seasoned enough to know that you stand on the front of the seat, as opposed to the back?

drunken sevens + acdc bogans = many broken seats.

Allegedly

Would have been more as well if they had replaced the ones that were repaired with silver duct tape that I saw at the 20/20 game. No, they aren't in the Fever Zone either.

Not surprising, we don't even use our seats.

Maybe it was where Clive Palmer was sitting?

I know, I know, its serious!

You don't stand on the plastic seats, you stand on the metal that holds them.
You know we belong together...

Im guessing that wasnt the train back to Pram via Mana (the home of the filthy filthy Sandbar). Ferrel bogans were in full force off the train

did you miss the first post? running out of seats means not a lot to replace them with! you'll probably find the ones with the tape on them are the least damaged seats, saving the few remaining replacements for the seats that can no longer be sat on.

btw this is not my department!

If seat break around the rest of the ground, just take them out of the fever zone and point the cricket pitch towards the zone. (so it'll be the area behind the sight screen you have to leave empty)
That just leaves rugby to deal with and we know that doesn't sell out so you could just go ahead and make the fever zone seatless.

They do provide safety though, less likely that someone falling forward will clean out hundreds of people.

How's my driving? - Whine here

oh yea, I was more thinking they'd take the actual seat and leave the back.
Safety aside, we also need somewhere to hang our jackets etc.

This and they also act as a shield for some who feel the need to show us what they had for lunch.

I'll have a guess that he was absolutely munted, the mates who thought it was hilarious were munted, and the 'angry british chick' was in fact somebody minding there own business, trying to watch the cricket who ended up having some drunken fool land on top of her?

haha something like that. i only laughed because of how much of dumb sh*t he is. even though i probably shouldnt have.

at the AWs game we were sitting next to some dude from Three Kings down for the game, absolutley off his face from kick off (dont know how he was let in), but somehow he managed to end up a couple of rows behind us and took out about 2-3 rows worth at full time. i dont think we even cared though...

I've noticed that Kiwis REALLY like climbing over seats, more than any other group of people I've ever known.
 
i.e. rather than walking along a row to get out, you guys will clamber over about 4 rows of seats, and then decide to head along to the stairs, even if the row you ended up on is not empty

It's all part of a plan. Not a great one usually.

Pathetic. Not apathetic.
