    Now I'm back in the area a lot more I'm seriously thinking about getting a season ticket again. Previously I've had ST's in the East Stand and the Ponty End. Now I'm not sure where to go and I'd appreciate some help, please advise accordingly with a good reason why.

    Cheers!

    I have had season tickets in the Ponty (CK Beckett) and East Stand. I now prefer West Stand Upper.

    1. Better view than in Ponty

    2. Friendly atmosphere/plenty of older folk but a lot less moaning than East surprisingly.

    3. Good angle to watch from, nearer than East to pitch.

    Only problem is the posts.

    Its also great to look at East opposite you...feels like the grounds finished.

    I had season tickets there behind the directors box 1983 to 1993, then moved to East Upper but sat in West for some cup games.

    I sit in the West Upper (no sore bum!). The wooden seats are more comfortable than the plastic and warmer in the seem winter in the winter. There is very little swearing, and you don't get pillocks standing up at every verse end.

    If you like to stand (which I know is against rules), and like to sing, try back row of Ponty.

    wooden seats far better

    plus you don't get the horrible plastic sticking in your legs from the seat in front.
