By steep he was probably referring to the £29.50 for a 14 year old!

I don’t think so as they said upper tero was dangerous

It's no Mestalla, of course! Not sure why it would otherwise be considered dangerous, though.
I know, I just tend to assume that people who make these sweeping statements about cities being shitholes are basing it on one or two visits to a football ground where they arrived, walked through an industrial estate to the ground, watched a depressing Brighton performance, and then walked straight back to their car/train station.
In that context, I can understand somebody thinking that about Birmingham. Not if they've actually spent any time there.
Because of the lack of alcohol? 90mins can be a long time.
Seriously though, I got something approaching vertigo last time I was in the upper tier at Villa Park. Something to do with the way the roof comes down to my eyeline seemed to freak out my brain for some reason.
And then, you know. I got over it.
I know mate, I was just jesting….

Having been in the upper tier for Villa away last season, I don't disagree

Not really that. The concourse corridor is very long an claustrophobic, and the q for food is long.
Guessing you avoid Newcastle then!!!Because of the lack of alcohol? 90mins can be a long time.

But at least everyone should be relatively sober!!
No, Newcastle's fine. It's not being high or the gradient that does it, I think it's the way the roof at Villa Park seems to be hanging in space about 20m ahead, but at the same time also about 40m up in the air, that weirds me out [distances completely made up, obviously]. Probably wouldn't happen if I were stood in a slightly different row.
It's like my brain can't quite get around how I'm on solid ground while something right in front of me is so far up in the air.
This isn't a big deal, to be clear. It's fine after a few seconds.

To be fair I didn't need to see anymore of Stoke on Trent than that to see it was a shit-hole. And we beat Port Vale that day too.
Fancy a laugh? Look up reviews of The Crown Hotel in Longton. It's where I stayed when we played a midweek cup game against Stoke a couple of seasons ago. 336 reviews on Trip Advisor, 208 of them "Terrible".
And yet, despite having been to Stoke two seasons in a row for FA Cup matches, I'd still rather go there* again than Southampton.
*To Stoke in general, not the Crown Hotel specifically. I wouldn't go back there if they paid me.
