The "partially obscured view" is common to most of Loftus Road. You usually can't see the touchline/goalline directly beneath you. I remember a Danny Cullip header there at the Boxing Day game the other year where I couldn't see if it had gone in or not for a second.
But then again it's a cracking ground and everyone's close to the action, which makes up for a lot. And it's just a number 207 bus ride down from Ealing, hurrah.
