Instead of watching his beloved Saints clinch a last-gasp 1-nil win in the Premiership match, Sam was forced to stare at a massive steel container - thought to be a commentary box - which obstructed all the pitch.

Sam was a unable to see the 90th-minute goal, or indeed the kick-off, or the action at one end.

He is now demanding a full refund for his £38 ‘restricted view’ seat - because he reckons it was too restricted.

He said: “I think it is crazy that they can legally sell these.

“Whether £38 is cheap for a Premier League ticket or not, I wouldn’t have taken the ticket for free having known the view.

“I don’t understand how the club hasn’t been sanctioned before, it is absolute madness.

“I would have been a lot angrier had we not grabbed a 90th-minute winner.”

He is now demanding a refund, after the picture he tweeted from his seat went viral on Twitter.

Queens Park Rangers FC refused to comment.
