Love the view from the front of upper Ellis, half way line. That's where I've sat most often. Atmosphere wise nothing beats the Holte. Times are hard financially, so I haven't been able to go recently, but I imagine now I'd get whatever is cheapest due to mentioned financial issues.

A3 Upper Trinity. Row G, so not far from the front, and not too far from the halfway line.

I didn't renew this year, though. I like it up there because the view is absolutley fantastic. I see lots of people talk about the view from the Upper Holte, but I fail to see how it can be better than the view in the UT.

Although I am happy to admit I haven't been in the upper (sections of the) Holte since about 1989

Always been an upper trinity man, much prefer to pay extra for a great view and not keen on behind the goals view.

Lower Holte, left side.

Like watching the game from behind the goal, don't particularly mind any of the people sat near me (apart from that trouble-maker Frank) and can't tolerate the right side scum.

Lower Holte, L2, Row Z - sat there since 1994 - Ian Taylor's home debut against Chelsea.

Relocated from the Upper North with my dad while the Holte was being rennovated. 

We've sat with the same crowd for nearly 20 years now,including steward Dave who has become a good friend.  Close to the bar and facilities. it's very convenient.

Only downside is the atmosphere is crap apart from the banter.  I'm tempted to relocate next year to the first row of the Upper.  The only snag is I'd be leaving my dad and people that have become friends.

P8 cheap seats deal.

Same here.  Had sat in the middle Trinity for years.

Much prefer upper Witton.  Equal view as Trinity but much better atmosphere.

Also, we go in the Lions Club before the game and  walk the couple of yards to the turnstile.  Can go down to the Lions Club at half time direct from the stand.

Going to see if I can grab the spare seat next season in the Directors Box (The one with RL on the back) - its always empty

Not a season ticket holder, but have always preferred the Lower Trinity, nice and close to the action and I don't like being behind the goals. I don't even mind the lack of atmosphere there that much.

R3 Lower North.
Its cheap and cheerful, I don't care about the facilities or the leg room as we always stand, Good atmosphere and close to the action.

C5 Lower Trinity - behind what is now the away dugout.

We bought season tickets there "off plan" when the Trinity Road was being rebuilt.  We sit with a good crowd (who we only see on match days) but its good to see familiar faces and we have a laugh.

I know what you mean.

Let's be honest, it's hardly the Maracana on derby day anywhere in the ground these days.

The view from my seat in the Lower North is gash. Very difficult to tell what is happening once the ball is into the Holte half, and it's rely on the Holte time as soon as it gets near the penalty box. It's also cramped but I did get an aisle seat so it's okay. Although a lot of the time we're stood up all game anyway. Does have a decent atmosphere there which is in its favour.
