Outstanding in every way
View is acceptable. Not terrible, not great. Parked at the retail park. Easy walk. Worth the money. This is what football is supposed to feel like.

This is proper football
Average view - you can follow the game but it's not great. Wall of noise behind the goal. Intimidating stuff. It is what it is. Premier League tax. WiFi actually worked which was a bonus. Mate couldn't make it. Took his ticket.

Satisfactory
Solid angle on the near goal, far goal a bit distant but fine. This is where you want to be in this stand. Worth the money. Okay but I've heard louder.

Football at its finest
The sightlines here are exceptional. Both goals in perfect view without turning. Great atmosphere. Fans really get behind the team. Parked at the retail park. Easy walk. It is what it is. Premier League tax.

Really solid view. Slight angle but nothing that bothered me. Coffee was cold. Typical. Expected more given the fixture.

Respectable seats
Premium positioning. Worth the extra cost for these sightlines. The Mexican wave went round about 5 times. Good laugh. Neutral at this game - just wanted to see the stadium. Atmosphere was alright. Nothing special. Price matched the experience. Row 15 - elevated enough to see everything.

Sound choice
View is acceptable. Not terrible, not great. Won the tickets in a raffle. Lucky day. Pockets of noise but not consistent. Feels like fair pricing. Walking from town centre took about half hour.

Incredible matchday experience
Okay sightlines but nothing to write home about. The fans here are absolutely mental. In the best way. It is what it is. Premier League tax.

Fair enough
Solid angle on the near goal, far goal a bit distant but fine. First time at this ground. The burger was actually pretty good. Family section vibes. Quieter but friendly.

Did the job
Bit far from the action. Needed to squint for the far end. Not bad, not great. Just standard.

Good enough for me
Average view - you can follow the game but it's not great. No regrets on the cost. Had to generate my own atmosphere basically. First game since COVID. Emotional.

A real treat
The sightlines here are exceptional. Both goals in perfect view without turning. This is where you want to be in this stand. Fans know their songs here. Good stuff.

Above average
Had to watch the screen for some replays. Solo trip. Sometimes you just need football. Good value for what you get. Could be better. The singing is elsewhere.

The complete package
View is acceptable. Not terrible, not great. Best pound-for-pound seats in the ground. Not bad, not great. Just standard. Stewards were helpful pointing us the right way.

Everything I hoped for
Solid angle on the near goal, far goal a bit distant but fine. The keeper came over to applaud us at full time. Nice touch. High up but can see the whole pitch. Better atmosphere than I expected. Pleasant surprise. Good value for what you get.

Just okay
Had to watch the screen for some replays. Atmosphere was alright. Nothing special. Seat had a cupholder. Small wins.

Sound choice
Bit far from the action. Needed to squint for the far end. Gets going when the team needs it. Premium experience at budget prices. Legroom was tight. I'm 6'2 and struggled.

Top tier experience
Panoramic views - like watching in HD. Every pass, every run, perfectly visible. Average noise levels for a Premier League game. Feels like fair pricing.

📍 South Stand Level 1 · Row 4
Can't complain
Happy with the view - could see both penalty areas clearly. Front row - as close as you can get. Okay but I've heard louder. Would pay double honestly. Neutral at this game - just wanted to see the stadium. Programme seller was right by our entrance. Handy.

Couldn't ask for more
Happy with the view - could see both penalty areas clearly. Worth the money. Uber dropped us by the away end by mistake. Long walk. The winner in the 89th minute - place went absolutely mental. Engaged crowd. Felt like being part of something.

Fine for watching but you miss some details. Worth the money. Rained the whole second half. We were soaked. Finally got off the waiting list.

📍 South Stand Level 1 · Row 12
Good enough for me
Minor obstruction from a railing but nothing major. Uber dropped us by the away end by mistake. Long walk. The ref gave a dodgy pen right in front of us. Could see it was never a foul. Not too high, not too low. Just right. Going rate for football these days. Modern football atmosphere. Make of that what you will.

Average view - you can follow the game but it's not great. Seat had a cupholder. Small wins. Middle rows offer the best balance. Engaged crowd. Felt like being part of something.

What dreams are made of
TV cameras wish they had this angle. Seriously impressive. Could be better. The singing is elsewhere. Reasonable cost for Premier League football. Easy access from the concourse. Been coming here 20 years. This was a new section for me.

📍 Colin Bell Stand (West) · Row 16
Standard fare
Can see about 95% of the pitch perfectly. Good enough. Perfect weather for football. Crisp autumn afternoon. Not bad, not great. Just standard. The winner in the 89th minute - place went absolutely mental. This is where you want to be in this stand. Worth the money.
Simon Hall

This is proper football
Standard upper tier view. Expected really. Neither great nor poor value. Electric from the first whistle. Hair standing on end. Anniversary present from the wife. Middle rows offer the best balance.

Standard fare
Minor obstruction from a railing but nothing major. The away fans were giving it loads but we drowned them out. Toilets were a nightmare at half time. Go early. Expected more given the fixture. Supporting the away team. Don't judge. Easy to find our entrance. Well signposted.

Best seats I've ever had
Really solid view. Slight angle but nothing that bothered me. Wind was brutal. Ball was all over the place. Would pay this again. Last minute equaliser - genuinely thought the stand would collapse. Proper old school atmosphere. Loved every second.

A real treat
You can see the players' expressions from here. That close. Criminally underpriced. Long may it continue. Middle rows offer the best balance. Supporting the away team. Don't judge.

Happy with the view - could see both penalty areas clearly. Legroom was tight. I'm 6'2 and struggled. Not a bargain, not a rip-off. Decent noise levels. Good participation.

Enjoyed it
Views are better than I expected for this price bracket. Clean facilities. Better than some grounds. Rained the whole second half. We were soaked. Fans know their songs here. Good stuff. Took my son to his first ever game.

Pretty good
The elevated position helps. Better than being pitch-side actually. Uber dropped us by the away end by mistake. Long walk. Stairs to get up here nearly killed me. Back row but actually preferred the overview. Would pay double honestly.
Lily Carter

Not a bad seat in this block. Everyone has great views. Can't believe the price for these views. Work outing. Boss paid. Result. Fans know their songs here. Good stuff.

Can't recommend enough
Elevated just right - can see the whole tactical picture unfolding. Pockets of noise but not consistent. Arrived 2 hours early. Good call - soaked up the atmosphere.

You can follow the game but don't expect perfection. Bit overcast but stayed dry. Back row but actually preferred the overview. Clean facilities. Better than some grounds. Expected more given the fixture. First time at this ground.

📍 Colin Bell Stand (West) · Row 30
Neither here nor there
Fine for watching but you miss some details. Mixed bag - some singing, lots of sitting quietly. Back row but actually preferred the overview. Brought my dad. His first game in 30 years. Last minute equaliser - genuinely thought the stand would collapse. Coffee was cold. Typical. Tram dropped us right outside. Perfect.

Central position gives you the best perspective in the house. Couldn't hear myself think. Brilliant. Snow on the pitch. Absolute scenes. Finally got off the waiting list.
