Frank_Lucas Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Go on a stadium tour ask if you can browse various stands and seats until you find what you are looking for write down several key places and check if the seats are available or someone has them for the season now don't be picky otherwise I will have to say get on the atkins diet ya chubby fool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also find it strange that different seats actually have different amounts of leg space. Any road, maybe we need to lose weight ! We even considered buying a childs season ticket but not taking the child just so we have a space for our knees. Im planning on buying another season ticket but wanted to know, is the North any better? Or should i just retire myself to the tango corner and be fat & happy. Slightly better legroom in the North. I'm 6'2" and manage ok. No better if you're next to Giant Haystacks for width though. Also unless you're right on the ends there's not as much option to move seats (this season at least) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye and it was chuffing blinding yesterday as well. Couldn't see a thing for some of the second half. Leg room alright though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhubarb n Custard Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I like the view from South but as someone of 5'11" find the legroom is poor. Girth isn't an issue unless seated next to one of the guys pictured above. Theres the odd seat in row directly front of Directors box with extra legroom because they're at the top of steps. Bit draughty though due to being exposed. Think North is better but prefer South so I can get better view of bench related proceedings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Williams Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Stay on the South but move on to row T or W both are stupidly wide. I am six foot five tall and can sit with my legs stretched out straight in front of me on both those rows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modboy Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 3 hours ago, SiJ said: Not a huge fan of the South. For a relatively tall bloke, the leg room is an absolute nightmare. Last cup game I was at I managed to end up sitting next to a bloke who was even bigger than me. Sardines in a can springs to mind. Furthermore, the lack of actual space in the concourse area is shocking. Gets so congested at halftime and when everyone is leaving. The North isn't perfect by any means (service is a bit naff and like most of Hillsborough it could do with a bit of a facelift), but it is by far and away the best stand imo. Kop is a bit grim (though they've improved it a bit with that additional bar space on the South stand side) and don' get me started on the Leppings Lane. Did you go with jam last week using my ticket? Nice little bit of additional legroom there @SiJ (Apologies if I heard @jambler wrong :) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it, great view of the entire pitch (never understood the lure of the kop if i'm honest), plenty of space, decent queues for a pint at half time. Atmosphere doesn't carry much unless its full though. Edited February 18, 2018 by bigsheff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
