Where do you want to sit at Falmer?

[DanielT]

where would you sit, given the chance? (realistic chance, not necessarily 1901 club chance!)

Things I have been wondering:

How high up is the back of Falmer's east stand compared to the south stand at Withdean? Is the top of the new West stand too high to feel part of it?

I know a view is subjective, but personally, I think between half way and 3/4 up the South stand is an excellent view

Whereever I end up I will be standing not sitting!

You are quite a long way back if you're at the back of the east.
Having stood on the 3rd tier of the west stand, thats where I want to be, opposite the edge of one of the penalty areas. I'd pretty much already decided that anyway though.

Top of the east stand is probably relative to the op of the south stand at withdean. But you would be closer because of the lack of runniing track.

This pic is from above the top row of seats in the east:

Either of these!

I'm surprised more people don't want the goalmouth action of being behind the goal on the North Stand.

After years of SIDE ON Withdean action, surely you'd like a change, Easy?

I want to sit behind the goal in the north stand, between the two posts, halfway up the stand!

I wouldn't mind watching the occasional game from behind the goal, but generally I like being in an ELEVATED position alongside the pitch. The views better.

1. It'll feel the TINIEST bit like being back at the Goldstone.
2. Excellent close up views for those 87th minute corners when it's 1-1.
3. Probably where most of the proper chanting will happen.
4. When players score, behind the goal is pretty much the only place you get the players coming RIGHT up to the fans for a bit of CELEBRATE GOOD TIMES.
5. Penalties.

North Stand. Got to be.

The view is better, but I reckons the atmosphere will be worse.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

it's gonna be all about the north stand megalolz

 

[Napper]

West lower , plenty of singing , good view

no idea....somewhere away from the pottymouth yoofs

Thanks for that photo Stu, it was helpful to get a comparison of the view.

I used to like the 18yard line G/H block, half way up the stand. But the ideal would be to have two season tickets, one at each 18yard so you can swap at half time ;-)

To me, that's the downside of behind the goal too.

So at Withdean, I've settled on middle of the pitch, the half way up D block.

At Falmer, I think either near the back of East or front row of the West's top tier or near back of the lower tier.

Not wanting the sun in my eyes is another consideration - so the East stand is probably out! OK, decision made!

Not if your in front of me you won't.

So that will be outside the ground rather than inside

Is the RIGHT answer
