Saving a pitch as you are booking in

Yes, it’s been discussed before. It is rude, bad manners, ignorant and very selfish. I’ve seen people write on here that such a person should be told in no uncertain terms that it's first come, first served and she should move herself because you will be reversing onto that pitch.

I suppose it comes down to how badly you want that particular pitch and whether you want the aggro of dealing with the situation and then potentially having those people for neighbours🤷🏻‍♂️.

Inform her it’s not occupied until the wheels of a unit are on it, not her feet! I’ve seen chairs, tables etc. used to acclaim occupational  rights. Very disrespectful in my opinion.

Again totally annoying and I've seen this done. 

In your situation if I wanted that pitch particularly, and reall- really wanted it then I would ask her if she had the pitch number fob already and if not I would have taken the pitch. I emphasise again there would have to be a very good reason why I wanted that particular pitch to do that mind.

In some mitigation some people do pick a pitch when booking in by its number if they have been there before by asking if it's free and taking it there and then. That could have happened here and within the rules. One doesn't have to drive around looking for pitches. If however they were behind you when you booked in then no excuse.

If it really bothered you then have a word with the warden.  

It would be interesting to hear from a warden their opinion of the occurrence and possibly give a suggestion of what you should have done in that instance.

"In some mitigation some people do pick a pitch when booking in by its number if they have been there before by asking if it's free and taking it there and then. "

I've done that before, Corners, but been told by the warden there are others on site choosing pitches so I’d need to go there and see if it's free. That seemed sensible I thought.

Yes, how pray can they, the staff know if a pitch is newly occupied at busy times until all arrivers report back. There may be several out looking! Some take their time, set up, go to the toilet, cup of tea, walk the dog and then wander up to report in! Some longer I’d bet! Unless of course you are the only arrival that day or last one in!

To be honest Nellie if they are brazen enough to do this I’m pretty sure that confrontation all round would be inevitable. Fancy members placing wardens in this position, totally selfish. No matter how diplomatic the staff are in tackling this they would be considered jobsworths, busybodies or plain rude by many such folk.

The problem you have here is if she won’t move to let you on the pitch.

I’ve seen this and it is so sad that people can be so rude to do it.you have been looking forward to a holiday ,after a long drive to put up with this.shame on you selfish people

Then wait there In front of the pitch, you will be first in line to get your unit on. But there again is it worth getting your dander up for and ruining your stay just to make a point to someone who clearly doesn’t give a toss about you or others? Or that time old etiquette of waiting and the first come first served notion.
