Title: Best block North Stand lower ?
Post by: Rob Gee on August 20, 2010, 02:50:42 PM
I'm thinking of giving the North Stand lower a go for a change, which is the best block?

I assume right behind the goal doesn't afford the best view??

I was in R2 last season on the back row (next to DazVilla). Although they stand from start to finish!

I didn't mind, but the lioness used to!

Havent been in the North stand lower in decades, and then it was for a FA cup semi final.
Do you get a few of the nutters near the away fans?

As lion in essex stated, we were in back  row (R) in block R3. That view was perfect. Just to the side of the goalnet and about crossbar height. Bit dangerous when opposition are doing shooting practice before the game though !
Only reason we moved to Lower Holte this year was due to the  pricing structure making it cheaper for us there.

Booked online, got put in R3, Row P, Seat 57. £7 for an adult ticket including £2 booking fee for next Thursday.

Didn't see the press release saying North STand and Holte Wings were only £5 for adults.

Bargain.

if you are gonna sit anywhere mate, sit in lower trinity c5 or c6 close to the back as possible.  i have sat in c6 on row 12 ( back row just infront of the concnourse ) for years and it is the best view i have ever had in the ground.  close to the action and can see everything !!

I have a season ticket so cup games are the only chance I get to a) save a few quid and b) sample other areas of the ground.

No lose really as even when the view is worse it makes me appreciate my seat even more!

We're C5 row 11 - cracking seats.  But most are season ticket holders so there don't tend to be many available on a match by match basis.

If you like standing up and listening to too many (not all I must add) mindless morons spending more time baiting the visiting fans than watching the match then the North Lower is for you.

i'm a big lover of the lower north, had a season ticket there up till last year with my lad,
great view, great atmosphere especially the nearer the away fans you get.
best value for money at VP, unless you've got massive legs, but then you stand up a lot anyway
