Season tickets 2012/13

[nodge]

Why would P8 be restricted view ? What's in the way ?

Bricks, bottles, coins, snooker balls, flying seats when we play Small Heath.

Wish I even had a choice

Knowing my luck a gigantic concrete pillar.

Or in P9...

[pauliewalnuts]

I sat in restricted view seats against Man United in P9 (before they moved the away fans) a few years ago, and have to say, I found it pretty annoying - it was basically the railings at the bottom of the block, and they managed to obscure a decent chunk of the pitch.

I had an ST in P6 for a number of years, before moving to the new Trinity to avoid the Alan Wright fan club.

The pillars at the back do obstruct the views of nearby back row seats. Plus railings etc do get in the way of certain seats at the front. The majority of seats elsewhere in the section have an excellent view.

From the back of the stand it can take up to 30 minutes to get out for large crowds at the end. From the front sections (of the upper tier) you can be half way to the church before the booing starts. The aisles and exits just aren't up to it.

I very much doubt the stand could be vacated in a reasonable time (is it supposed to be two minutes?) in an emergency.

I think it's ten, and if that's what it has to be, it could be.

Quite a few of the rows at the back suffer from restricted view due to the roof.

Well if you wanted to move to P8 and have not done so, then its too late.

Ticket office staff say its all sold out now

[VillaBobby]

Just called to try to relocate 6 tickets into P8 to be informed that it's now full.

Unless other reasonable seating is released at a decent price then I won't be renewing. Adhoc purchases saves me about £200 a year if the pricing policy remains the same for next season.

Releasing a restricted number of discounted tickets can have the adverse effect when they sell out and it then leaves others frustrated at an already frustrated fan base.

Is just P8 or try another part of the ground.

I was advised that there were only tickets on the wing of the Holte Upper. The view there is awful and I envisage adhoc purchases will see me get a better seat more often than not.

Witton Lane P8
Holte End K1, L1, L8, L9

All have the reduced price offer

Not sure how many are left though P8 is sold out

[SoccerHQ]

Holte end L8 and L9 aren't too bad a view from my experience. And you're behind the goal which is where I personally prefer to watch the game.

I think that little enclave between the Holte/Trinity below the big screen is doing the offer aswell.

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.

Are you blaming Doug for Asbestos being found when they were taking parts of the old stand down?

Although the cheapness is Correct. I'm just glad he learned the mistake of doing the construction in house before attempting the renovation of the Holte.

It was found in part of the stand a couple of years after it was opened. The bits that had been used from the old stand.
