Just had this e-mail from a mate who got his yesterday:
The ground is awesome. To be honest there won't be a bad seat in the house.
I thought West Upper was great, but it is a very VERY long way up. I've seen the seat view software they're using and I think it made the view look closer than it is.
The other benefit of West Upper is that it's steep. The steps are knee height. I stood behind the guys I was with and you could see the whole pitch without straining. Should be great for the kids.
The lower area steps are just over half that height.
The exciting news, other than seeing the undersoil heating being installed is the floodlights. League football rules require 500 lux lighting levels apparently, whereas the premier league (driven by Sky) stipulate 800 lux. TB asked for the spec to be upped to 800!!! Cost £45k ish.
Spoke to the guys in the club marketing suite. They reckon a lot of the message board threads are a bit of scaremongering. Tickets are going very well however. He said West Upper was probably 10% to 15% sold, all of which is fanning out in a D from the front at half way.

As a prospective WSUpper that's about the most helpful post I've seen, cheers.
31st jan for me.

10% of 4,500 is 450. I'm pretty sure there have been considerably more than that sold!

If that's the case then the guys in the marketing suite are lying.
Either way i'm just passing on an e-mail from a guy who was there yesterday and asked the question.

And then listen to the entire away end laughing AT us. I cringe everytime we sing that song. Embarrassing.

Nah, it's great. The ultimate put-down to the homophobic nonsense. How can you reply to that chant?! You can't. Perfect.

I doubt it.
All of the club's shots of the stand show advertising running the length of the stand but, with most of the TV cameras pointing away from the West, there may be some 'latitude' (as well as altitude - see what I did there?).

That's my idea for away games. Home game atmosphere's will never be spectacular. Home = view of game - Away = party
Exactly. I know of another group of 26 and numerous smaller groups.
