genuine question, the safe standing has seats that are easily usable, but if you are sat down and the person in the front row are stood, will you still be able to see ?

thanks


Can you see if somebody stands up infront of you while youre sat down now?

I highly doubt that the safe standing 'seats' will be an extra 2 foot up in the air.....

As I understand it the seats can either be all locked up or down depending on the circumstances. It won't be a case of whoever is sitting there making that decision but the club.

I've been using the pontoon (I prefer being behind a goal) for over 40 years and am very happy (now) sitting down - we've built up a little group of what have become friends and I like the idea that I have my own seat, regardless of what time I turn up, with the same people around me. I would be quite upset if that had to change. I suppose that's why they have earmarked the 'far right' (maybe a better description is available? end of the stand - where the noisy fans go and not the whole stand and risk alienating the silent (in more ways than one) majority.

I am, of course, assuming that when they refer to the 'right' they are talking about the right when looking from the pitch?
Strange how the 'singing section' has migrated towards the river - when I were a lad (etc etc) it was directly behind the goal....

Quoted from LH
Hopefully whichever company sponsors it gets their logo on a big intercourse off bit of metal to close off the open side in the Pontoon to keep the noise in.


Serious question for Nick Dale. Have the club actually looked into this, I personally think it would make a massive difference in terms of an atmosphere.

Can't the money be used to fill-in the sides and improve the acoustics. I'd chuck in £50 for that.

No but if the bloke behind you is standing and you are sitting then you will,

Hope that helps.

Can we have cushions in the upper? Those seats play havoc with my arthritic knees and hips.
