West Stand - help needed

[East Stand Man]

Block N, row 25 seat 6

Is this a good seat? Will I be blocked by a pillar?

Will the roof obscure my view?

Many thanks.

Row 25's pretty far back and N's the halfway line so you'll hopefully be ok...

Hate to tell you but you may well be slightly obscured by the roof. There is also more bad news as block N is right in the corner....you will be six seats from the edge of the stand i'm afraid.

How do you know that?

 

[fredthered]

Because i've sat in the west stand for the last 10years of my life!

Seat numbers 100-120 are in the middle, the seat numbers start at number 1 closest to the North Bank and they work there way along.
Therefore seat 6 will be 6 seats from the end of the stand.

Is that ok?

 

[The Mini]

ah (rich sod). I've only ever been to a Worthless Cup game regarding watching Arsenal.

 

[East Stand Man]

Thanks for the info.

Just wanted to know as "could" get a ticket. Nothing to start an argument over.

ticket for what game?

Not a rich sod i just work very hard!

Its actually 2 seats from the stand as it starts at seat 5 that far back.

7 6 5 (row behind the pillar)
7 6 5 (row behind the pillar)
7 6 5 (row behind the pillar)
7 6 5 4 3 2 1 (some front row)
7 6 5 4 3 2 1 (some front row)

if that makes any sense. I sat in row 34 back there and it wasnt THAT bad, you could still see most of it and your view isnt that obscured

Arsenal v Southampton - Premiership game

 

[wiltord11]

are there still tickets left or can you only get one ticket cause i was thinking about going with my mates but i couldnt get the tickets so i might go by myself if i can get one ticket

The roof is so annoying in the east stand, like row 25 back.

North Bank Lower all the way from now on. 8)

wiltord - just the one. know someone who has a ticket but can't make it due to work.

I was buried in row 30 of the lower east saturday - kinda like looking through a letterbox - very grateful Arsenal don't play high balls very often, cos i wouldn't have saw em. Still the people who were next to me had been season ticket holders for 35 years, and seemed happy enough....

It's all about perception & what you're used to.

I hate sitting in the North Bank - no perspective at all. I hate sitting in the lower tier cos you feel like you're sat in a bunker. And you live in constant fear of being smacked in the mush by the ball.

It's the upper east tier for me. You can play at being Motty. Luxuriate in a perfect 20/20 view. Drink black russians with Roman when Chelski come to town (well you can wave frantically at him anyway).

But if I'd sat anywhere else in the ground, these past 25 years, I'd think all East Standers were a right bunch of tossers. I'd probably be right.

Yeah I had row 35 in the Lower West, the game took on a bit of a widescreen appearance, could just see the bottom edge of the East Stand scoreboard
