I’m pretty sure that seats are specifically assigned in the Grant Thornton. However, as it’s a very small stand, you’re unlikely to be far away from one another. If the stand isn’t full, it’s quite possible you’ll be able to sit with your friends.
I have a quick question for you. Do you know if the seating in the Grant Thornton stand is assigned or can you just seat anywhere once you arrive. I'm inquiring for a couple of gents from Sale. On the website the only seats available are all miles from each other!
