    Hello all

    Looking to book tickets for the Udinese Friendly next week, it's a little while since I've been down the Rookery End. Can anyone give me an idea of how the lettering of the seats works ? When trying to book on line I was offered "OO" in the Lower Rookery but no idea how far back from the front that is ?

    Ethel

    Hi
    From the bottom they start at AA and go to ZZ then start at A again. My seat is in row G and that is just under half way up, so OO would be about lower than a quarter way up.

    Oh dear, I'm in row X - sounds like I'll have a lot of steps to climb....

    Good exercise for the knee! Has it settled down now?

    It has indeed - am walking around 4 miles a day although steep hills and stairs can be a challenge. Have an appointment with the surgeon in 6 weeks time regarding the other one....

    Ethel, OO is at a pretty good height if you can get behind the goal, which is about seat 90 or so, I think. (Could be wrong on that)

    I prefer the left or right corner of the stand.

    Personally, above the goal doesn't give me enough angle to get a perspective of the depth of the game.

    Good thing is, not many obstructions in the ground, not like the old Wembley.

    My last game was spent watching from Lower Rous as it was the only ticket I could get (the infamous last match of the season against The Weeds). I promised myself not to do that again if I could help it....

    Used to stand halfway up the Vic terrace between the goal and corner flag, right where they stick the away fans now. :(

    On my few visits these days I quite like the LGT stand Rookery end, but Mme prefers the UGT stand as she is not very tall and gets a better view.

    Best view in the house, H especially near the half way line if you can wangle it ... Oh.... And it's pretty quiet.
    Not keen on the lower GT unless as OFH says, nearer the Rookery.
