Never heard of these "Limited Leg Room" seats before.

Upper or Lower Trinity and whereabouts ?

Based on by the leg room that I have in the LTR, I wouldn't want to sit in anything that the consider "Limited"

You might be sitting above the vomitory (exit) for the lower tier. Instead of having a seat in front of you, which you can squeeze your foot under, you just have a concrete wall. If that is the case, you not being 6ft, you should be ok.

hope so mate i normal sit in the doug ellis but these where the only tickets we could get its just that i had never heard of limited leg room tickets before

The limited legroom issue goes back to the Trinity Road stand being built shortly after the First World War (the 'Great' War), a listed building whose dimensions reflect the average height of the West Midlands (formerly a part of Warwickshire) population of the day.

Owing in the main to steady improvements in general UK health standards following the creation of the NHS in 1948, a consequence of this has been that listed heritage buildings (such as the Trinity Road stand) have become less suitable in their primary function in the modern era.

Nonetheless, it remains a key feature of Villa Park that to to this day. Despite numerous attempts by previous owners of the club to demolish and replace the stand with a structure more-accommodating to the needs of the Premier League corporate sponsor, the retention of the stand in its original form remains, and continues to be one of the iconic landmarks of English football.

Hope that helps.

The seats behind the vomitories are in Row 16, give or take a row or two either way.
They are a good view though as nobody is in front of you.

Snow White was sat there at the last game with seven of her friends and they seemed fine.

It's about 6 inches less leg-room

I saw Lieutenant Dan there one game and he was fine.

My ticket says only "Second Leg", so I'm worried now.
