Would you give up your leg room?

[Return of the Rev]

After sitting at portman road i realised how much leg room we get at the ac stadium,would you give this up if it meant 5,000 more seats at the amex ?
Could we squeeze 40k in some how?

 

[The Grockle]

I've got 36 inch legs so no bloody way!

 

[Frutos]

Not a chance.

 

[Curious Orange]

Nope, I've specifically sworn never to return to Portman Road precisely because on the leg room issues they have there!

The Amex is perfect in this respect.

Luckily I had an aisle seat yesterday
Loftus Road is worse for leg room.

 

[Bruntburger]

No, but I'd gladly stand.

 

[carlzeiss]

More seats means more fire exits , WC etc . Would require a new stadium

 

[Magic Sponge]

No, legroom at Ipswich was bloody awful !

 

[RM-Taylor]

Surprised so many people were sat down yesterday, suppose a few may have been pretty hungover

 

[beorhthelm]

erm, i dont think you can change the leg room without rebuilding all the stands, concreate tends to be pretty permanent.

 

[Lankyseagull]

No. Being 6' 5" I need all the leg room I can get.

Although on the other side of the coin, it would make it awkward for all those people leaving the Amex with 10 minutes to go....

This thread will never run

I've been to both Portman Road and Loftus Road and think that Kenilworth Road's away end beats both of them hands down (or should that be 'impossible to sit down'?)

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Portsmouth away end is the worse,it wasnt until half time last season when i tried to sit down i noticed and i cost 30 quid i think.

Liverpool away my missus was pretty hacked off with her leg room she is 5ft 1.

[Muzzy]

Honestly cannot compare because I can't recall ever sitting at an away ground

I am 6'1, and I couldn't get into a seat at Kenilworth Road either. Some stadiums really do take the piss. Swindon's Stratton Bank behind the goal was dire for leg room too, absolutely dire. It's a standing terrace which has been converted to seating, that's where a lot of the problems stem from I'd imagine.

With regards to the Amex, the leg room is glorious and is part of making it an amazing stadium. We do NOT need to "squeeze" any more people in.

I remember Anfield being so rubbish for leg room last season we pretty much HAD to stand.

As for the Amex, no way would I give up the leg room I have. Even now when the bloke in front slumps down into his seat it breaks my knee caps so I need more room if anything.
