Hi everyone,
Only just registered but i am looking to purchase a season ticket tomorrow (My first one)
Which stand and area do you recommend for a new season ticket holder? Atmosphere is important obviously but more importantly is the viewpoint.
Behind the goals or on the sidelines?
Thanks =D>
-
you need to tell us a bit more, how old are you and who will you be going with, children etc ?
-
Oh sorry.
I'm 27 and will be on my tod im afraid so no kids or anything in tow
-
If you can afford it and your more concerned about the view then I would go Upper Doug or Middle/Upper Trinity as close to the Half way line that you can......You should avoid people standing up for no apparent reason
-
I'd personally go for behind the goal at the front of the Upper Holte.

this

So K4 or K5
Or trinity B3
-
K5 is my block. Great view, no real idiots and a fairly decent atmosphere.
-
so stay away from K5 then mate !!!
-
It has to be the Holte.
-
If i went for holte upper which row would you try and get a seat in?
-
I'm in Row 13 so go for anywhere in front of that. Why not go down to the ground and sit in seats you think would be good? All you have to do is express your intent to view the ground at the ticket office and they'll arrange entry to those places.
-
I'm in Row 13
. That's no surprise.
-
Come and join the Upper Trinity Massive mate. We're all nails up there...ignore any references to rugs and flasks; A5 is where it's at
-

K5 upper we are in row 25
-
A3 is where the big dogs roll.

Yip, no standing & no atmosphere :-)
Has to be the Holte. Upper preferably, although the lower has its moments.
-
K5 upper row 30. Top view, but you'd be best off a bit lower.
-
L5 Massive.
-
Just dont go Trinity Middle, bunch of moaning old gits there.
-
How dare you haha, I've had many great moments in the trinity middle , saw my 1st game there over 30 yrs ago and apart from a handful of games it's where I've always sat , best for view in my opinion ,but not for atmosphere.

Im a long time Trinity middler myself, spent my earliest years there with my parents before escaping to the Holte terracing with my mates. Returning back to the old girl in my late thirties before it was vandalised and destroyed. Ive now moved to the Trinity lower. For a middle aged git like me it combines being near enough to see whats going on with sufficient atmosphere, but without me being buffeted about by those young ruffians on the Holte. But of course us old uns still always outshout them when we re-live our youth and get amongst them at an away game.
-
Cue a 'our stand is the real stand' argument....
-
Lower Holte row 00 bang in the centre sitting on tHe H in tHe holte End
-
Trinity Lower, right behind the dugout, where you can pass on useful hints and tips to managers past, present and future...
-

I can fully concur with this.
For the last 5 or 6 years I have been here, and moved seats every year to get away from "moaning olod gits", and some young ones too. The highlight, or lowlight, was when the blokes behind me started moaning about the 25th Anniversay DVD of the European Cup win!!!!!
At the end of last season I admitted defeat and am now in the Lower Witton Lane for next season.
-
L7 is where it is at these days.
-
It depends really on what your priority is for atmosphere it would have to be the Holte; but the downside to that is each time the Villa pass the halfway line coming towards the Holte the muppets at the front stand up.
-
I have sat in the Lower Holte for 6 years. Last year moved more central to L5 row S. Right behind the goal. Awesome view, great atmosphere. I never want to leave this seat.
Also, remember that in the lower holte you have access to the Holte Suite at half time, so buying food stuffs and beer is much easier than in any other part of the ground.
-
Upper North for me
Had season tickets in the Holte upper in the past but got sick of 14 year olds singing out of tune for 90 minutes and continually having to stand whenever we cross the half way line
-
Went and checked out some seats today.
Torn between
Trinity B3 Row 16 (Great view and quite close to the holte for a bit more atmosphere?)
Trinity B5 Row 28 (Nearer north stand)
Upper Holte K5 Row 1 (Front row of the upper holte overlooking the lower holte, no chance of people standing up haha)
Upper Holte K6 Row 3) Still real close to the front)
Undecided :(
-
Front row Upper Holte would be a great seat.
Get a nice big flag too.
-
Front row Upper Holte would be a great seat.
Unless its right on the end where it blows a gale in winter!

Not if its K5, that would be right in the middle.
Out of your options, I would pick this one fella
-
Go for K5 front row. I can throw things at you then.

Like paper planes made out of £20's?
Sounds good

Watch it on the Internet. Cheaper and better atmosphere.

I guess there's also the "will the feed go down or not" intrigue to break the monotony of our home "style"

Lower Holte row 00 bang in the centre sitting on tHe H in tHe holte End
Just moved there...estimating we are sitting on the claret seats of the "H" in THE, row PP 126,127 and 128. Gonna miss the banter and singing in the Lower North though, had a great seat in the back row there last year

Not if you pay a small amount to get a better feed.
Anyway, he could just alt+tab to another browsing window and look at ladies until the stream comes back.

Holte end, nothing else comes close.
Upper near the front or lower near the back, I can't stand being close to the pitch personally

This is me, a great area with good banter and decent atmosphere.

Meanwhile in the plusher surrounds of A5 the aforemntioned wenches are satisfying every man's carnal need

That'll be as they're from Marston Green.

Not at all, it's just a fact that there are places you can't sit if you (rightly or wrongly) like standing, expressing your opinions in a .... kneejerk way shall w say, like singing, or any atmosphere.
Unfortunately those places are the Trinity & The Ellis.

Don't worry, whatever he throws will probably loop back around in the wind and hit him on the back of the head.
I'm K6 half way up.
