I was always a north stander but now it is pretty empty and it just doesn't give you the same match day feel anymore. I went to the Wigan game and had tickets with my 6 year old nephew in the south stand. I deliberately didnt say seats as we didnt have them and frankly standing is not an option with a 6 year old as he cant bloody see anything. I personally think it is pretty despicable of these people to stand in front of a small child and frankly the stewards did fook all about it. So after 20 mins of the game we ambled around the ground and into some of what were pretty plentiful empty seats. So basically i want somewhere with a decent view of the pitch (i do like behind the goals but realise this is not a great option now) and i would like a bit of atmosphere but obviously where i can sit down and watch the game. (Maybe stand when there is a chance on goal etc. Again to bring up the south stand. Is it not illegal to stand at a football ground that is what the all seater stadiums were brought in for and will we not face disciplinary action from the premier league if we cant get our fans to sit down. Im sure away allocations for certain clubs have been punished due to people persisting in standing could this not also affect us?
For atmosphere it has to be the south stand singing section. Not sure how many seats available as its mostly season ticket holders. Forget about a half time drink though unless you wanna miss 10 minutes of the match
I still sit in the North stand (for now). Your right with the chanters gone and the BCB moving downstairs it has lost some atmosphere but i still like it. Think the centre of either the West or East stands must be good from a viewing point but maybe lack of noise.
