I can't see anything on the OS that says that STs offer a significant saving on individual match tickets.....

They're only a saving if you want to sit in the same seat for every match and have the certainty of a ticket when we sell out (........... sorry, drifted out of reality for the second reason).

In the specific case of P8, what will be the one-off cost of a ticket in that section or will it be totally ST ?

I really am surprised that 997 people are willing to risk sitting that close to Leeg

The front rows are obstructed a bit by the barriers, that's the same in the Upper Trinity. Think there are some small pillars at the back...oh and you're right next to the away fans which probably isn't great when the away team score.

Think I'd rather get these cheap tickets in L8 of the Holte End.

I think that I'm correct in saying that Leeg was the first to move to P8, actually in advance of the seats going on sale to lesser renowned Season Ticket holders.

Think it's more to do with the back rows, and the way the roof curves down.  There was a big who-ha about the height of the new Witton at the time of construction, as the residents weren't happy with the prospect of losing natural light.  So corners were cut in construction, so to speak.  With Herbert involved, corners would have been cut anyway.  See asbestos usage in said stand and narrow treads/gangways in the lower tier.

We got ours on the Friday, leeg got his on the Saturday.  Dcf went to have a look at them Friday lunchtime and was phoned from the ticket office an hour or so later with front row seats sorted.

I stand corrected. If anyone deserves priority treatment ahead of Legion its you and Mr Five.

Hehe, I like the Mr Five.  It's not that we deserve it, just Dcf being cheeky in wanting to see the seats straight away.  The rest was up to the ticket office.  We assumed they were glad to get their hands on our current prime location seats.

Regarding restricted view in P8, two of ours are in that category due to the raised railings at the bottom of the aisle. I don't think behind us are restricted at all.
