Fans complaining and doing cartoon images of seating layout. I went on site and there is no plan of seating numbers. This Wendy's fan has bought a seat and has no idea where it is. I was offered seat 45 on line, but before buying it I wanted to see where it was situated. No chance. Last time I had a big steel column in front of me could not see half of play
The concourses and alleyways to the seats are an accident waiting to happen in the Leppings Lane end. They are way too narrow to cope with a full stand. Was a bit of a crush last season at half time. Should be condemned as unsafe. Feckin shitoil.
Yep terrible away end , we just get upper tier now . Concourse is diabolical , and the price of tickets scandalous
We got both last year. Would probably get both again if we shifted enough. Lad yesterday told me we'd only sold 750 though so far.
The kids screaming/crying last season, and me being moved 50 yards (in the crush) without actually wanting to move was not a nice experience. I'm not going to exaggerate and compare it to the disaster in the same stand all those years ago, but it frightened the **** out of me and I couldn't help but imagine just how ******* horrific the crush must have been on that fateful day. That stand wants knocking down. It's not even had a paint job since then. It's one of the things that tickles me when their fans go on and an about how big a club they are and how great their stadium is compared to ours. I wouldn't swap ours for that **** hole. At least ours is safe, and at least there aren't 20,000 empty seats.
Talking to one of the main stewards last year directing people to seats. Had about 20 minutes stood near him at my seat. He told me they have had plans to alter most of the stands, but he thinks it will never happen under existing management. They were supposed to be having new scoreboard and that has not happened either. He said it had been ongoing some 10 years
I was in that crush as well and it was a scary experience and with the price I won't be going for the first time in a long time!Them and Leeds have not got my money this season I've had enough of being ripped off to sit in **** away ends with stewards treating us all like criminals! Shame as well as I've always enjoyed going to the local derbies in big numbers! I am going to Wigan though because the price is more than reasonable,maybe these "massive clubs" who haven't won anything in 20+ years should take note of the current FA cup holders!!
Absolute shithole that for some reason the Dee Dars think if a fantastic place to watch football when it's one of the worst. A stand that's about 600 years old that has columns everywhere so you can't actually see the game. Concourse that is dreadful. Probably the worst I've been in. Very unsafe as we'll. Has it even had any work done on it since the disaster? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
The Steward said they were planning to take columns out, but it would need new construction on roof and strentheners, so he thought they would never do it.
There's a mini-crush every season. I've been in the lower for the past two visits, awful view but loads of room behind stand at half-time. Prior to those visits every game was in the top tier and every game there was the usual crush on the concourse at full-time and ridiculous over-crowding at half-time. Very poor stand. I like Hillsborough as a ground due to it's tradition and character, but the away end is a nightmare. Stewards usually seem friendly though. Police less so.
