west stand?

[southwestexile]

I usually go in the East Stand with my 10 year old but am thinking of the West Stand for a change as the East Stand atmosphere can be a bit dull at times - any thoughts?

[Bentley Bullet]

The West stand (South end) is where all of us who know everything about football go. If you feel qualified to frequently give loud verbal advice to Darren Ferguson in times of need as well as constant dogs abuse to the linesman and the opposition's left back then you'll feel at home.

I must warn you though that there are the odd numpties who haven't got a clue among us.

[southwestexile]

ha ha, appreciated

I think I'm looking for unwavering positive support with the odd grumble

but most of all, atmosphere

[Donnywolf]

There is usually an atmosphere near where I sit - at lest that's what my Seat Buddies tell me !

Two of your 3 requirements would be met right on Half Way where we have a good time good banter but whether that qualifies as "atmosphere" I dont know.

[Bentley Bullet]

In the West, you'll find unwavering grumbling with the odd positive support.

All the right requirements, but not necessarily in the right order.

You must be somewhere near me BB. 😊

Wolfie we didnt know you cared.
    You should have mentioned about passing a bag of sweets around every match,and not taking any notice of me.The supporter who knows the most about football is about 10yrs old by the way.

[Bentley Bullet]

I'm level with the south end goal line, about 3/4 of the way up.

[drfchound]

You will get a different perspective on the game.

[Rovers Return]

In an effort to stand up for the East Stand. We constantly have the pearl of wisdom shouted out for many years now of " WEKUP ROVERS". This little beauty of encouragement must be working this year as the players do appear awake and not in a state of sleep walking. Although I was always under the impression that you shouldn't wake up sleep walkers but it's never bothered this chap.

[Filo]

Theres an old chap two rows in front of me who's ears wiggle when he's shouting at the ref

[Goole Rover]

You will be treated to commands of "Pull it", "Squeeze it" whatever that means. Never heard that before taking my seat in the West stand. A vey friendly bunch though and no bad language where I sit.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Yes, come and join the West Side posse!

[Bentley Bullet]

Forget the prawn sarnie feast in the East
Come and join the best in the West.

You are very near then. I sit in G538.
An aisle seat more or less in line with the goal line.
You'll probably hear me berating the Lino most games with the standard we get. Mind you talking to my Bradford City mates they are never happy with the ones they get either.

[southwestexile]

Right, west it is then, if only for a new experience. Next quandary is half-way or 18 yard line

[drfchound]

If you shout at the linesman regularly you should do the halfway line seats then he could "get it" at both ends of his run.

I'm in T543, about 10 rows up from you.

I'm bang on 18 yard line J572, the lino doesn't half cop it from there.

[drfchound]

That youtube clip is great.

If you are switching away from Family stand take into account the loss of activities for kids in the concourse and the very different  language used in the two stands .

I'll give you a wave on Saturday, mid rant. 😉

If you see a bloke sat with his lad, throwing his arms about and swearing at the players and officials............... that will be Harrogate Rover.

I sit next but one to the left of him!

Aye - "S-w-i-t-c-h-"

[Donnywolf]

Thanks for all the Seat Numbers. I have noted them all in case they come up in the Pie Draw. Will be round in a shot with me knife n fork ! 

[southwestexile]

well, by the time I got to buy the seats there wasn't a lot of choice so I've gone back to the East to get an elevated view.  Maybe I'll get in earlier for the Exeter game

[Monkcaster_Rover]

Big up the South-West corner. Most leg room in the house.

Not much choice?
That sounds promising from a ticket sales point of view.

Throwing his arms about!!
I bet he complains about Andy Williams doing the same thing.
