    I’ve currently got a seat on the back row that I’ve had for 30 years. I’m now finding it very hard to get up and down the stairs without a handrail. There’s seats available on Row F, near the handrail at the bottom. My question: if it rains, is Row F in it? I suppose wind direction and strength would make a difference, but in general?

    I'm on row O. And we can sometimes in a strong wind get damp. I can't remember what game it was last season. But it monsooned for 10 minutes. Everyone in front of me. Backed up the aisles or ran to the concourse. Lots left the game after getting saturated. (That truly was a one off event ) If row F. make sure thas got a very good mac on if rain is forecast.

    Yes, Row F is definitely in the rain. I would say Row M is the first properly undercover row.

    We're on the back row, this and the next one down have always been dry when it's rained, anything below that can get the rain if bad

    N surely? We're on O. Mind you, I've never seen you in the same seat twice, so who knows?

    Av got me watterproof n souwester. No worries.
    My grandad, WW One regular soldier, wounded and captured, knew how to deal with the odd problem. I used to take him to away games when I got a car. Once, sitting in a leaky stand under a constant thin stream of rain I commented that it was wet. His reply. Geeor. We’re int graaand n that’s what matters.

    I have 3 rows to go at C. Depends on who I wish to annoy at any given game. Mi mate. Mi Bro. Or mi Cuz. Oh. And you and A. BTW. :)
    My purchased seat is on O lol. Side of mi Bro. But I let one of his Grankids sit with him.

    And you'll get F in wet.

    Yes, we are on J and its gets the rain. Row F might as well be in the open - there is no protection whatsoever.
