    Not the best tbh, especially as a shortarse - had full view of Humphrys run and goal though. Been places with worse views though.

    Excellent from the terrace. Was expecting it to be too low down with pillars obscuring my view. In the event neither was an issue. However, I remember the view from the seats being absolutely awful, albeit that was 30 years ago. The ground has hardly changed, except for that new stand so far behind the goal that it's in a different county.

    I went last season and 1 before. None of my usual lot were going yesterday, but I’d planned to drive myself down. Thought better of it when I saw we only had 120 seats and they’d shoved us down the side.

    That new stand is where we’ve been housed last 2 years, and it’s a very decent view. I know some like standing up, but it’s not my bag.

    AFC Wimbledon at Kingsmeadow was probably as bad as I’ve seen. :eek:

    Seating had 3 stantions in the way.
    The end section makeshift.

    It looked like a pretty poor view.

    To be honest it was pretty similar to that Wimbledon view, I said same yesterday. As others have said a bit better though but definitely reminded me of it,

    Big mistake putting away fans near the camera and mics when on Sky. All you could hear was the away fans “singing” and shouting

    By the time we’d got my mates head set and stuff, we ended up standing on the flat bit near the corner flag at Wimbledon. It was ok second half but when we were kicking the other way, we couldn’t see anything down the left wing for stand and heads :eek:

    I don’t mind so much with Wimbledon as they were only there temporarily, but for a club to ‘downgrade’ facilities for away fans seems a bit harsh bearing in mind the amount of empty seats behind the goal.

    It’s a strange one why they’ve chosen to move away fans. Can only think it’s because they sold more home season tickets this summer?
