would you change stands

[Easy 10]

Are they loafers or brogues perchance?

Mocassins dear boy. Mocassins.

 

[Ninja Elephant]

well i could have a good guess but i'd be lying........rumbled

That's a shame.

But then not really. He is a miserable, negative bastard who moans about everything Brighton do on the pitch. He and I have had words.

 

[kevo]

Happy with the East on the whole, but there do seem to be a lot of new fans in there - lacks a bit of passion or commitment or something. Also want to be further back, too low down to get a proper perspective. Will probably be looking to change for next season.

 

[Gazwag]

Don't wanna swap for WSU for one game then Gazwag

its too high for me up there

 

[clapham_gull]

Front row upper west, right next to exit to the concourse, right next to the bar, right next to the stairs on the way out.

I honestly think I've got one of the best seats in the house and it's within the cheaper price range.

Nope.

 

[AMEXican Wave]

I've used the cup matches to sit in every stand at The Amex and the one place I thought was shit was WSU. I honestly don't get the fuss about it. Everywhere else was top notch though, as you would expect. I'll probably stay in WSL next season, although I think the East will become a better option once the expansion is done.

The WSU is so big that it probably depends where you are in it. From my experience, somewhere near the center of G Block, it is fantastic. Lots of noise and a great view.

 

[CAPTAIN GREALISH]

Wsu until i can,t make it up the bloody stairs

 

[Weststander]

As and when their is an ESU I would be tempted to go there, though I love the North!

I personally sit in WSU, but I guy I spoke to yesterday said they sit in the NS but will try to move to ESU when constructed.

 

[Braders]

Wouldn't move from the North stand although I may try changing seat.

Same , move further back if I had the chance.

 

[kevo]

Wonder how changing your seat will work? Presumably you'd have to commit yourself to losing your current seat first in the hope of finding a better one...?

 

[Weststander]

would rather be in East looking at the West than vice versa

We sit front row of WSU and love it.
The only negative is not being able to view the amazing WS (in breaks in play).
When ESU and corners finished off, will look great all over.

 

[kalinski]

going to hopefully swap next year from WSU to the family stand so i can regularly take my son and daughter...see my desperate plea for tickets posts!!!

 

[pauli cee]

back of the north and bloody love it! yet to sit down, and surrounded by some good people. almost like the old days.....hopefully there for a long time yet!

 

[Weststander]

I'm WSU season ticket holder but have sat in North and WSL. WSL has to be worst in my opinion. The steepness of that tier is to shallo and even if your sitting quite a way back you don't get the perspective of the game.

North is good for atmosphere and if you get a view to the side i.e not watching the game through the netting then its a good place to watch.

I'm biased because I chose to sit WSU and being 3 rows from the front and on the aisle I wouldn't change my seat. The only thing is we could do with a few more singers but I think that comes with the nature of a lot of people up there thinking they need to be entertained all the time. The Palace game up in WSU was such a diluted atmosphere, none of the intensity that I expected from a lot of old skool Brighton that were meant to be around.

CP game - it was the dire performance on the pitch for the last 70 minutes of the game that caused the unease & quiteness.

Nope.

Ditto. Planned to get them back in January, and struck lucky.
You haven't pinched our seats have you?

 

[matt_32510]

Currently in WSU (Block H), good view and atmosphere but must admit when I was in the North enjoyed the atmosphere in there more

 

[Weststander]

Agreed. In my one experience of it (Gillingham game), I was in row 11 and towards the North Stand, although not in the very cheapest blocks at the very end. I thought it was way too high and felt totally out of touch with the game. I imagine if you're at the front it's pretty good, as in reality you're only a few feet above what the club are selling as the best seats in the ground. I would only be happy with the front 3/4 rows though. Anything higher and I think you lose out on atmosphere.

Cost ... you're spot on. At £380, just feet above 1901ers who pay £1,440 giving them complimentary coffee and arm rests.

Very lucky to get those front row seats, as Badger says just a few metres away from the most expensive in the house. Wasn't sure about the drop at first, but got used to it very quickly.

I do like the option of leaning on the wall in front or sitting back in my seat. Alternating my positioning throughout the game without affecting my view.

l prefer to sit back when a penalty is being taken, usually crossing my arms. I suspect that would be my default position if ever I had the opportunity to be present at a public execution (*)


(*) if I had a seat elevated from the main action, with a small wall in front to stop me from falling but not high enough to inhibit my view.

WSU front row too ... alternate between resting backwards feet on wall, or leaning forward on the wall. Are banners, part covering advertsing boards allowed? My lad talked of getting one.
