W1A seats yesterday - unacceptable

essbee1 · May 8, 2017

So - we bowl up to the ground and see that the fourth big screen
which should have been in front of us in W1A is the one moved to the North Stand.

The view from the seats was therefore sh*t and we had nothing more
than that blo*dy scoreboard screen to look at

Treating fans like sh*t again.

You could have always watched a stream on your phone/pc/laptop and stayed at home. But guess you will be there when the big clubs come calling next season, who is your team?

I was in the last block, and the angle wasn't amazing but the view was perfectly adequate.

The screen in front of the North was an entirely different screen, significantly smaller than those in the West line, so you're obviously completely wrong.

Maybe you should have paid £35 + travel to watch a metal box at QPR then you would have something to MOAN about

Boro game last year only had 3 screens in front of the west - 2 large and 1 smaller as in front of North yesterday

Try being at the top of the Doug Ellis stand and paying £30 if you want a bad view

I sat in my normal ST seat and my view of the screen was great. The only downside was the moron sat in what is my brothers normal seat, he was at Villa, and from the first minute he was moaning about our possession and pasing the ball rather than lump it forward every time somebody passed to a team mate behind him the same shout came up. I wonder sometimes about our supporters and their appreciation of the game. I know that we all interperate the game differently and have opinions but that took the biscuit.

Blimey. God forbid something bad actually happens to you.

Talk about generation snowflake.

Sometimes right, sometimes wrong but ALWAYS certain

Pretty sure there were only meant to be 3 screens in front of the West. The North stand screen was an extra arranged quite late on

I was too close to the screen in the North, which made my eyes a bit fuzzy, so watched on the concourse screen. No complaints really, club did the best they could, I was quite happy stood with a few mates on the concourse.

I sat in W1A yesterday and watched a game that was otherwise unavailable to me. Not bad for a fiver.

As has been said, there was only ever supposed to be 3 screens for the west stand, they got an extra 1 in for the North when tickets had sold out in West.

Have to agree that it must have been difficult to see much - I was in W1B and wondered how the people low down in W1A were supposed to see anything much.

edit: but given testimony from people who were in there I guess it was OK

Perhaps the club just shouldn't bother with beam backs in the future, just creates the chance of another prawn sandwich moan-fest

I was impressed with the screens, good clarity etc., just a shame they didn't pipe Warren and JCs commentary into the stadium. Presume it was a contractual thing. I had my earphones so listened to their commentary whilst watching the feed...

My first breakfast pie too... rather nice I thought. Was surprised by the fried egg under the lid - thought it was going to be scrambled, all mixed in with the beans and sausage and stuff...

I hate to tell you now its over, but stewards were quite happy to let fans walk from the West to the North and sit in unsold seats that had a better view. The drinks queue was shorter too.

Crikey mate, try a 200 mile round trip, parking, petrol, tickets, burgers and motorway breakfast cost, trust me you didn't do too bad!

*or a burger

*and my car's a diesel...

340 miles from Mid Sussex

Only benefit of a 12pm Sunday KO was that the traffic going up was BRILLIANT.......oh and I found out that Harry Ramsden's actually do a reasonable full English (black pudding available)
