Guest Automatic Drip Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Anyone got any experience of it? What's it like? Half time facilities ok etc? Thinking of getting my son a season ticket with me for next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNChance Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Personally I think it's ok. I often take my 10 year old on the very back row of the grandstand and she loves it because she can see all the pitch and even if somebody sits in front of her she can still see Atmosphere is non-existent as you might expect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plonk Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Had a st for a few years when my lad was young. Good view and good for kids (no swearing or nastiness) I hated it but he loved it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Great for kids. Friendly. Adults put up with my kids being complete pains. And I put up with theirs, even though you want to kill them. No probs before the game. Easy to buy them cardboard chips and a four quid hotdog. But impossible to get served at half time unless you dont mind missing 44 minutes of the first half. Few games and things at half time, and the youths that help are really friendly and enthusiastic. Go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hirstys_12th_Pint Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Go up their sometimes if I relocate from Kop and went there Sat with young in. He likes it as view is good. Facilities great as well. No atmosphere whatsoever and I feel very removed from it all. Sounds strange but I like to see the roofs of the stands round me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leaping Lannys Perm Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Tried it out for the first time yesterday with a view of moving our season tickets there. £50 cheaper than our current seats. Much better view and facilities. The sit down bar is something completely different to the rest of the ground. Atmosphere was weird but the Kop was nearly empty next to it which wouldn't be the case on match day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BagshawsOwl Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I moved up there 4 seasons ago when I started taking my eldest child. She absolutely loves it up there, as someone has already said in the main people that sit around you tolerate your children (fidgeting, wanting the toilet 3 times every half etc....) and you tolerate theirs. In my 4 seasons in the family stand I have rarely experienced any excessive swearing or any aggression (as you might do in other areas of the ground) which makes you feel as though everyone is in that stand for pretty much the same reason - 'because they have young children with them'. The view is great and depending where you sit the seats and leg room are probably the best in the ground! The only time I've experienced any type of atmosphere up there is when we played Arsenal this season, which made the game even better. But other than that is is pretty quiet. I suppose you swap the atmosphere that you'd get in other stands for the family friendliness of that specific stand..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modboy Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 tried it last saturday Its a brilliant view, facilities and legroom BUT those stairs are a plenty up there and it did feel isolated from the action Would definitely try it again though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geedee Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Is all the grandstand now a kids area? I normally go to Hillsborough on my own and.have used the grandstand when the north central blocks are busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddogbob Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I think the family bit is the blocks up to the halfway line kop side. The rest is as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
