Why do you sit where you do ?

I'm in the lower Holte, L4, row Y. Decent view, atmosphere is okay and I like being closer to the pitch.

I went in the upper tier for the Bradford game and enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. I stood all game, the atmosphere was class and the view was excellent too - Although being that high up I felt a bit removed from it.

One of the major drawbacks about the lower Holte is the way it's always up and down, especially when we shoot that way. I'd rather stand all game or sit all game, can't be doing with the constant changing.

I've stood/sat in all parts of the ground - but I always come back to saying that my favourite place is trinty road - front of the top tear - 20 yards to the right of the half way line - so we get the benefit of the boys kicking towards the Holte End - 2nd half as is tradition.

When did that start exactly ? I've been going since 1967 and that's been the case as long as i can remember.

Aston Villa 26 league wins in 1980/1981 - 60 pts
Ipswich     21    "        "      "    "      "   - i think   56

Apparently they "lost" the league that season.

I've seen at least one match from every tier of every stand at VP- like a few posters on here, I tend to migrate according to ticket deals, the people I'm going with etc. I was impressed with the view from Upper North a couple of years ago, when my mate brought his (then) six year old a couple of years ago- I suppose it's the double-decker executive boxes giving more height but at no distance penalty. Last time we went was for the Ipswich cup game, and my mate insisted on the Holte End (where we both used to go since we started watching regularly in 1995)- we avoided it the previous occasion because he was concerned about his lad picking up bad language, or having his view obscured by people standing. We needn't have worried, the atmosphere and view from K2 row 2 were both excellent, and a new Holte Ender was born.

...we should take him to every match, too. He's got a 100% record from his two visits to Villa Park.

L8 - Best place for atmosphere in the ground imo

or R2 if L8 is full as it's probably second best block for atmosphere.
