A friend of mine posted a couple pictures from the new Liverpool stand and to be honest, the view was awful from the top as it is so high. Got me wondering how high the west is and is it comparable? I've sat in the top west a couple of times, and in my opinion, it's a little too far removed from the play.

You, presumably, didn't watch the Albion at Newcastle recently?

I love it up there. I'm in Row V so pretty near the back and you can almost see the entire pitch without moving your eyes left or right. Can be frustrating at times though, as from up there you can see a pass that the players can't necessarily see at ground level and you end up shouting at them to play a pass they can't see. Mind you, I have also berated the wrong player before now as it can be difficult to identify them

I love my view from the WSU while we stood on the concourse we were wondering if there is more space in he void under the seats in the WSU

I think [MENTION=24867]chaileyjem[/MENTION] sits pretty much at the back.

that pic is from Row R.
I think X is the back Row. I'm about 2/3rds back.

Think it goes further than X. I'm row V and there are definitely more than 2 rows behind me.

No. My days of traveling away are sadly over.

Here's the picture my friend took.

And another. Think I might have had a bit of zoom on that one though.
