    sat in upper tier due to weather yesterday, how on earth people sit up there regularly is beyond me no legroom . I have always stated to retain this stand but sitting up there I’ve changed my mind time for a upgrade, and definitely a roof that covers at least more than back two rows of lower tier.

    To stay dry at Oakwell the best stand is oddly enough the away end, as the roof goes further out. Our three home ends aren't as good.

    Ponty Ends not bad apart from from 5 rows. East Stand is same as West in that it just covers the upper tier

    I would love to see a total refurbishment of the west stand.... but in a very sympathetic way... do it up with modern materials that can still mimic its Retro style. I love the old Cottage at Fulham... so much character. BFC should think on these lines ... maybe lose a few seats in the West upper in order to give more room to the occupants.... the loss of capacity could be made up by using the corner between the Ponty and the West .
