We find this works very well, and we've received many heart-felt "thank yous" from people behind us (particularly people who are not associated with a team and are just there as spectators - these are the people who may not have enough interest to stand, or perhaps are a little older and for whom standing each match isn't really an option).

That's a good way of doing it. But sometimes when one person stands up, everyone else has to stand to see. And when you really want to see the match, but have been standing up all day and are about to fall asleep, it's rather annoying.
