Not the first 20 rows at the front mate...pointless having a roof when the winds from the West....Loads moved to the back.... Tell you whats funny though...A couple of blokes came in just after Kick off...walked along a totally empty row of seats..lookin' at the numbers..sat down, then one looked at his ticket, showed it his mate and they swapped seats!!..I was f.ookin' helpless.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigblueowl Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) The front five/six rows if the kop are pointless too. All you can see are ankles. Edited January 17, 2018 by Bigblueowl Error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im supposing the logic is the South has mainly older people and everyone knows you start to shrink as you get on. Definitely less room than on the kop, I can't fit in those seats either hence the reason we stand up the full game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james o connor Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 No idea why anybody would pay to go in the south . It’s expemsive enough elsewhere , why would you want to pay extra to be resembling a tinned sardine ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The heffing and jeffing was unbelievable from the bloke behind me. I'm going to write a strongly worded letter to Grenoside Parish Magazine asking if these potty mouthed proles can wee wee off back to the Kop where they belong. I sit in South regularly, and there's one chap behind me who has a large, loud, filthy voice like this. I am unable to turn and spot him, and although reporting this to a Steward, we have been unable to identify him. He'becomes a f**king, b***rarding, bloody nuisance that we have to bear.

m77owl Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Nothing's changed. All the big guys went on the Kop. I was not so big but always got stuck behind someone who was. Now retired to the South and can see the match until the stewards blow the whistle on 80 minutes for us all to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussieowl87 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I take LittleMissAussie and for the sake of everyone else I sit back row Grandstand. Means her restless self doesn't end up getting in anyone else's way. Anyway. Point is because she ends up on my knee, there's an empty seat next to me. Legs go in a diagonal in front of the empty seat. *note I am not offering my daughter as a method of gaining extra leg room. **additional note my legroom is hampered by other people's tartan blankets and flasks. ***further note I own neither a tartan blanket or a flask.
