Palace, reserved or unreserved seating?

Last time we went there there was no problem with sitting where you liked. That was in the Championship (November 2002) can't believe we'll be taking more than we did then.

Be advised that they used to play Dave Clarke 5 music and possibly still do

I suspect we've already sold 4 times as many tickets than went then.

This will give you some idea of the view for away fans. Skip the beginning, to the 7 minute mark  to get an idea of what it is like. Back rows are worst due to low roof and television gantry. There are also large posts holding the roof up that you may get stuck behind. Pick your seats carefully!

Loosely on subject: Has anyone got a ticket further back than row 40? I bought my tickets on Saturday morning and forgot to check how far back I was before I walked off with it. I was told today that row 40 is fine and that they are not selling us any restricted view seats but I’d like to have a decent view if possible.

What a scruffy load of supporters-must be a poor view 'cos half of them were facing the wrong way

Quoted from Grantham_Mariner

You can not see all the pitch from the back 10 row SEATED, Standing you will struggle to see half the pitch! A Watford fan said "It is the worst view in the Prem from the back few rows".

There are going to be a lot of empty seats in that stand however many we take, so I hope none of us have to sit in a seat with a[/b] restricted view.[b]

It will be a bit like seating in the Main Stand, just a bit more modern.

I asked the question because I don't want to pay for an expensive weekend away, (I've got an 11 year old who has never lived in Grimsby but is an obsessive Town fan), and end up in seats where you can't actually see the game, which is what I've heard about the rear seats in that stand.

My son wants to go, I assume, because he has no experience of Town winning a single FA Cup game beyond qualifying rounds since he was a toddler, and he's attended some of those! So if I turned up and some Cockwomble thought it was ok to see us sitting where we couldn't see rather than the seats we had reserved I'd question how much said Cockwomble cared about the future of Town rather than putting his or her self's instant gratification above meaning some youngsters grow up supporting Town rather than Man Utd, Chelsea, or, God forbid, Leeds!

I always prefer standing at away games, and although it’s frustrated to be told to sit down by people when there’s a big away end and unrestricted seating, when there’s reserved seating it’s not hard to sit where you’re supposed to. Of course, in a perfect world we could usher the people who want to sit to the front and those who want to sit at the back, and allow everyone to be with who they want to be. Since that can’t happen, just go to your seat and make sure you create a decent atmosphere

Trouble is those who want to stand tend to migrate to the front.
Says a lot really

Booked a table for four at a local restaurant last Saturday evening, although we had paid to sit we spent the whole meal stood up, how f@@@ing stupid. Also those that insist on standing that are going down by train and have booked seats are they going to stand for the full journey?
