    I swear that this 100% accurate and I can confirm that I am going to put in a transfer request this morning. My seat in the Chapel is ok, but I want to get a bit closer to the action.
    I have sat in most parts of SMS at various times and have found the height aspect in the most crucial. High up, I get a great view of the whole game, but I can't always identify the players -Guly being the exception. I would recognise that movement from another planet! Being right down at pitch side is thrilling when the action passes by, but it's more difficult to see and appreciate the movement off the ball, etc. I am currently in the AA's. What do folk consider the ideal elevation to watch Saints?

    Used to be AA now down at G. Not sure which I prefer actually. Definitely wouldn't go higher than AA and G I don't get blocked by stair huggers at the end of the game. Probably 2 rows back would be optimum!

    Sit in row B so when it rains you can feel the rain on your face like a real man.

    Or somewhere in the middle is probably best.

    I always take the moral high ground myself.

    I'm in row Z and I reckon that it is just about right, p.s. Block 35 is where all the cool kids are!

    I think level L, M, N and P is just about right although I still need my glasses. I am also considering a transfer as sitting in the premium seats is costing us £400 extra a season for if we moved to block 35 that is how much we would save with a concession and that is £2 000 in 5 years FFS.

    It'd really help if we had centre back pairing of Lovren + A Black Defender.

    Agree with Godders...L, M, N, P...too high to get rain in your face but low enough to be able to get out easily.

    Fans demanding transfers show absolutely no loyalty. It disgusts me. I feel privileged to have my seat and just accept that although I may get a better view if I was sat more centrally, say just behind Pochettino, but who wants to pay more money just to sit on the bench.

    I am aware that sometimes goals are at the other end and harder to see, however I am truly grateful when given the opportunity to see one at our end; I just have to be patient and wait for my chance. I have thought long and hard, but no, I won't be requesting a transfer and I am prepared to bide my time and wait in my current seat for a trophy; there is no guarantee anyway that moving to a more central, clearer viewing seat, that trophies will be guaranteed. :emoticon-0100-smile

    Salad bar opening times should be revised by the new regime.

    Like it! Actually, it is risk when you move seats. There is always the possibility that the reason the seats were not renewed was the Pillock sitting alongside, or behind...
