Orange section, Upper tier, one row back, Among the best views in the ground. Good atmosphere, surrounding fans tolerant of my insanity. know quite a few of them as sat with us in the north bank at Highbury. tickets just under £50 a pop.

Ive always sat in the blocks 118-125 and Ive always had a good view. For the Brazil v Argentina I dont remember what block it was but I was sat lower tier bang on the half way line opposite where the players came out and that was very good.

Im usually block 118/119. You can get front 5 row seats in these blocks for £42/£46. Top seats and decent atmosphere. View wise, I've been at pretty much every possible area and can honestly say, there isn't a bad view in the ground. (actually, behind the goal looking through the net is shit whereever you are, and the first 5 rows lower tier are too low for my liking).

My favourite seat I've had was the last seat before the away fans for blackburn last year. I love banter so had a ball being so close. Hopefully next time they'llbring more than 30 people with them and it will be even better.

I used to be mostly NB Lower ("We're the North Bank! We're the North Bank...!" 8) ) in THOF but West Lower a bit too, CE a couple of times and East Lower once.

In the Grove I use my mate's season ticket in sssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... the place that shalt have no name... :wink:

His seats are in Club Level, Yellow area (I refuse to use the Americanism "Quadrant" :oops: ) about ten rows back. The sky box is just to our left. The view is awesome, the punters around us are mostly singers too which is good but there are a couple of sit-down-leave-early's too. We usually have no probs getting people up on their feet and singing! :P 8) The stewards are a bit dick-like if you try to take a photo even in the general direction of the poxy sky box, but are pretty lenient as far as standing and singing/dodgy chants go. :shock: 8)

Matt Lucas from Little Britain and Audley Harrison sit near us. Both are sound enough.

The next block over is atrocious though :evil: :oops: :roll: , no singing, mostly corporate dinks and nearly all arrive late & leave early.

Still, having said that, I was quite shocked to see sizeable gaps appearing in the lower tiers before half time and again before full time on Sunday... :oops: :? :shock:

Do people get the big fella confused with that chef and ask him to russle up a quick pheasant stew for half-time (at which point he thumps them)?

Block 6 all the way. Can stand up all game... great view (row 28), with like-minded proper supporters who sing ALL game.

Therefore, no matter how quiet other parts of the game may be at times, it is always loud where I sit.

Imagine, just imagine, if there were even 20,000 with the same sttitude. We would blow the f*ucking roof off!

We need another section down the other end. There are enough supporters crying out for it. Just needs a bit of organistaion.

For example, to move my seats, I contacted Red Action. They passed my details onto an amazing contact (Mike) in the ticket office who relocated me. It takes a bit of effort lads, but wecan get this section ot grow and grow until we are all standing and singing.

Naturally, those that don't wish to be a part of it can request to move and sit elsewhere. Simple! :)
