Nervous about first weekend away... pitch fights

What is posted on here (CT) and what happens in real life is, as been mentioned many times, just totally opposite, light years apart. 

We are serial service pitch users and never experienced any issues. There are usually less SP and are all in one place and because they are so few and so popular there probably will be just one or two left for you to choose from and usually the wardens will indicate on your site leaflet which ones are free, then you can choose which better suits your preferences like closeness to whatever, trees, or which way the sun shines. 

If you are still that worried perhaps arrive around mid afternoon, 2 to 3pm when it should be quieter. 

PS - have you used a SP before?

So I guess that I am worrying too much  from everything that you've all said! My husband is chilled out, so I think he must be the right one (this time!). I'll let you all know how it went (not for a couple of weeks though). Thanks everyone.

Ok, so I was reading a thread about how you obtain your pitch on a site and how there was etiquette to follow and realised that I have absolutely no idea how to get a pitch. Naively, I just thought you'd rock up to the site, be assigned a pitch & off you go, but apparently this is not the case. We have booked serviced pitches - how do I know where they are? How do I know if someone is on one, but just gone off site? I'm nervous about all this already, but now I'm terrified that we'll do something wrong & upset people & start a turf war.
