Title: How was the view from the back three rows?
Post by: Filo on April 01, 2017, 06:38:08 pm
Did you feel ripped off not being able to see the far end?

Not particularly, just had to duck a little when it was up the other end. I was on Row R and the massive metal beam cut the opposite goal in half so you could see the pitch...just not what was going on 4 feet off the ground, lol.

Awful. I was on the back row and if you stood up you couldn't see anything over the half way line

Yes, it was quite a poor view, it was worse for people in the corner that had the Girders in their way.there was a few spare seats on the back row so we moved more central for an improved view

Not really if you can barely see the other end sitting down.

1900 went probably 1400 stood. Someone told me on here the majority prefer to sit though

Most people sat where we were throughout the game, it was still a good atmosphere especially when no one spoilt our entertainment by standing in front of us.
We wouldn't have been able to see because we were on the back row

Nowhere near 1400 standing for most of the game.

Oops wrong place to be talking about standing

Our seats were pretty poor with a girder right in the way of the goal.

Won't be booking tickets for games like this online again as didn't get the option of picking a section and ended up around all the sit down shut up types which was rather frustrating!

Don't you talk about it every week buddy.
Anyone would think it was a big issue.  :whistle:

Probably when people are campaigning for safe standing. I agree there.

Yep, I am all in favour of safe standing but it doesn't need ramming down people's throats on a regular basis.
There is a place for sitters too.
Around me today were loads of older people who voiced their appreciation throughout the game and joined in the chants.

I was row P and sat down for most of game. Still enjoyed it though and could see the far end goal when I did stand

Load of young lads round me stood for half an hour then sat down, no stamina these days.
