Poor souls having to stand high up. You could have just not had a drink, problem solved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holloway Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 6 minutes ago, bobbydazzla said: Exactly, I’m happy to sacrifice an element of the view because for me, being pitchside up close to the action is my preference. Other people have different preferences. Happens only now and again with everything stacked against you,but joy can be had in a seat with a good view and you're not surrounded by fucking statues.

It would make the atmosphere a lot better IMO having them pitch side. Mackems shouldn't be allowed to get away with it as their ground was designed to have away fans in the South Stand and that's where they stayed for best part of 20 years until they wanted to copy how we do it. They should have been told to fuck off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was 5 rows from the front in the Gallowgate for the Man City match right behind the goal in November. Couldn't get away with watching the match through the net and also the goal posts obstructing my view so I went and stood with my mates in the corner for the 2nd half.

Poor souls having to stand high up. Agree. Brighton is by far the worst away game for having a drink in my experience. the uni thing near the ground is sound enough but rammed to fuck. We just stay a couple of nights in London when we’ve been to Brighton in the past. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe one on the Gallowgate similar to what the Mackems do? One on the glass panel similar to the one in the Leazes. No idea about the 4th. Personally don't think we need any. It’ll just be used to ram adverts down everyone’s throats. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KetsbaiaIsBald Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 I dont get the L7 complains. I've watched many games from up there and the view is excellent. Being behind a goal and yet being able to see the details of what is going on at the other end is nice. You lose the ability to see some skills nut megs or what ever and sometimes I'm not sure what player I'm seeing! But I'd accept that to get the picture of the entire game. I would take those seats every day of the year vs sitting at pitch level, taking to an extreme first row seats. That view, to me, is complete shit. The angle does not allow you to follow the entire game. Fine if someone happens to do a worlidie nut meg in front of you it's awesome. But in terms of actual following the game, shape, passing, runs, totally not for me. Maybe it's because I grew up loving sensible soccer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 It says PIF bought us in 2021 but then go on to say they have transforemed us on and of the pitch since 18/19. aye. the fuck they have.

Superior Acuña Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 (edited) 10 hours ago, bobbydazzla said: There’s rules in place that say away fans have to be near the pitch. But us and the makems break the rules. Can see why some away fans whinge about being up there. It must be the furthest removed away end in the country. And plenty of them probably can’t be arsed to listen to us whinging about the out of town locations of their grounds. Not everyone cares about being close to boozers, they just want to park their car easily, watch some football and go home straight after. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It was much better at the mackems before they moved us up a height. You want to be with the players celebrating (not that there’d have been much opportunity since the move anyway…). L7 is a good novelty for the view, but generally you want to be close I’d say. edit: what LFEE said Edited May 3 by Superior Acuña Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up close and personal is my preference. Otherwise I might as well just be watching on the telly. But each to their own.

NE27 Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Heard some murmurings around the meeting up matfen but instantly disregarded it, even though it came from someone possibly or possibly not working there. Something about a model of a new stadium very much in the ilk of spurs stadium. Not claiming itk or owt before anyone pisses their knickers just some tidbits on a BHL monday.

Wouldn't surprise me at all tbf We know the previous board wanted to build a new stadium and were presenting options to the ownership, quite possible Hopkinson and his team think the same. The question is whether PIF want to do it or not... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
