'The Afro Appreciation society' have some corporate seats scattered around the ground

I have purchased 'restricted view' tickets at Wembley before for a couple of England games for a tiny price. The view was great! All I had was a 1-3% obstruction of a part of the pitch caused by a hand rail/seat edge. These seats are alway at the end of a row. If I moved my head an inch to the left/right the obstructions was gone! The only reason they class them as obstructed view is to stop some one coming back and having a whinge later. When I have told the person sitting next to me that I have paid half the price they paid it is always a giggle to see thier face :D

If you are worried about booking these tickets then don't be. I have had some shit view obstructed tickets in the past (mosly at old wembley) but these are no problem. For 18 quid I'd sit on the roof! instead i'll be outside offering the touts favoursdown a back alley :shock:

I remember watching Arsenal v Fiorentina in CL and been stuck behind a pillar and seeing fu*k all for most of the game :lol:

New Wemblet was sold as having no unobstructed views and to be fair 99.9% is. Any slight imperfection is stated on ticket and heavily discounted.

Sounds like AFC ould learn a trick or two :?

Apart from the rumour on twitter I haven’t heard anything

Still lots available at the moment, and still just to gold members

I was at that game, sat almost in the back row behind the goal that we were attacking in the second half, which obviously was the opposite end to where Batistuta (sp?) scored. I must have been 250 yards away from that goal. I couldnt stand up either because if I did the roof of the stand blocked my view of almost half the pitch :roll:
