I spoke to a journalist on the train back to Brighton and he said that the press area electrics had been short circuited by water and I think they're around 10 rows back

BIG this! The difference in wind and tempature once inside the ground is massive. Once we got out again after the game it was like mid November

I guess it will depend to some extent on the prevailing wind direction as to how far back and how wet it gets.

Row K was a bit wet when wind blew rain in but nothing too bad.....i think probably L and above should be fine. Generally the south westerly wind we mostly get should keep the rain behind the west and straight into the east stand

First, four or five but as many have said its only if the wind blows it around, so a wind from the East. The roof does cover the stand but obvioulsy as its high the wind may drift in, however it should very rare to have a Withdean experience, and would need Barnet esk horizontal rain to get everyone wet.
That was pretty heavy yesterday and they had to close the new station bridge ramp before the game as it flooded at the bottom and the press boxs also got a blast. Unless we go all domed roof, some people will get a shower now and then from the changing elements. Like others said I got far wetter walking the short distance from the station to the ground and once in it was very hot/humid in the concourse and stands and dried off very quickly.

Can i ask a silly question. My ST is in WSL W1A AB. Does that mean i am 28 rows back from the front? i.e a to z = 26 rows back + aa and ab = 2 total 28? Maths was never my strong subject!
That should be right at the back, which is what i thought.

Water on seats back to row "O" WSL when I got there at 2.00. The roof is so bloody high though - you're bound to get a bit wet when the wind is up.
I have to say I was a bit deflated by the lack of atmosphere yesterday. I think those who were saving their first game for Doncaster will be in for a more safisfying christening to the new stadium. I think it will be noisy.
Pleased to say that Paul Samrah was first to make an announcement over the tannoy (which works very well). They need to make better use of the TV screens (like keeping the player names and numbers on view).
The stadium is brilliant. There is more room in the seats - width and legroom. They are comfortable.
Teething problems with catering aside (yes, the pies were great for those who were able to get one), and the rip off cost of a programme (£5 for a SSC final - what were the SCFA thinking?) - a good day out.
