Restricted views at the Amex

[smiler]

On a visit to the Amex this week it was obvious to me that the seats near the rear exits at the back of the stands could have a restricted view. The top bar of the barrier with the directional signs is at eye level therefore obstructing the pitch view. Has anyone else noticed this problem ?

Not sure if it's been mentioned on it but there is a mahoosive thread regarding restricted views.

These only mention the 1901 & WSU problems which I believe have been corrected

 

[Bozza]

Which stand(s)?

It's nothing I've noticed from the back of stands.

Could have, or Do have? or are you just looking for something to moan about?

I noticed this as well, although it's not really a restricted view as it doesn't restrict the view of the pitch, just of the other stand. I wouldn't want to sit there personally, but then I don't like being that far from the pitch anyway. It would feel like you are watching a game at Wembley or somewhere, rather than watching the Albion.

The two aren't mutually exclusive.

Thinking about it, I'm right next to one of the stairwells in WSU and i get the feeling that with all the people trying to get to the bars early at half time it may become an issue.

This is not a moan Mr Naylor, just a concern.

I know what you mean, but you get that at every ground.

I suspect he's talking about these seats and the direction boards, I'm a little concerned as my seats are near one of these exits. We shall see come the 6th, I'll be a wee bit annoyed if there is a problem.

Well no, not quite. But they've only played there 3 times in my lifetime, 2 of which I was age 1 for. So they are very nearly.

Then why would he specifically mention people going to the bars?

 

[ees complicated no?]

all the metal bars with signs on are getting change also on my north stand open day i asked about as my little brother is right by one and they said can you see someone take a corner and he couldnt and he said thats why they are getting changed

I know it's been mentioned elsewhere but I do hope the stewards retreat back to exits rather than stand up/lean against the bars as that will undoubtedly restrict people's views. For me personally I don't think where I am this issue will 'come into play' but I think for some it may - I mean if the seating signposts/bars at that height are obstructing, many more will be getting annoyed with the stewards standing up (as they reportedly were at the SSC Final).

How ironic, us fans will be asking the stewards to "sit down!"

I was worried about this issue as I am near a stairwell in the family stand. I was particularly concerned for my two young sons. As it was I needn't have worried as our row is two rows up from the sign/bars. However I am sure if a small child sat in the seat immediately to the side if one of these, that the view would be restricted.

Yes this exactly my concern but on the West Stand Lower the top bar is higher

A friend of mine has a seat at the back of West Stand Lower

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

How many rows does the West Stand Lower have? Not sure if anyone has actually found an accurate seating plan yet?

I have a signed original photo framed of this
