That's my experience too. It's a long way from the pitch. The view is better at the front of the upper tiers

I have gone for front row of upper tier. Been to Wembley several times and think the lower tier view is awful (including Spurs last year). Amazed the upper front rows are in the 45 quid zone too. Bargain!

Its a poor view from the lower tiers, that looks as far back as you can go to. The lover tier camber was never built steep enough at Wembley.

Now you tell me :tantrum: looks like I've paid £80 for a shite view. :ffsparr:

I also HATE being sat low down, which is why I've gone £45 near the front of an upper tier. I'd rather be there than in an £80 seat frankly !

Wanted 134, ended up with 137. Not too annoyed.

Most important thing is I got a seat with my best mate who I’ve travelled the country with watching Albion. We were basically the only two Albion fans in our school whilst we were at Withdean and I’ve probably done 50 odd away grounds with him. Buzzing for it already.

Wembley is quite BIG you know? The back of the lower tier is really not 'low down'.

Long way back though. So I've heard.

I've been to 'New' Wembley twice (England v USA and Spurs v Albion), both times been in the upper tiers and been happy with the view. But frankly I'd have sat behind a pillar for this game if I had to. Its just all about BEING there.

which was exactly why we went for lower tier behind the goal.

I would never swap our WSU seats for the North Stand, but as you say - this one is about 'being there'!

Probably sums us up too. Most of us are WSU but we've gone for behind-the-goal-ish lower tier for this one.

STH,bronze members,loyalty points it does my head in.I pine for the days when it was in the pub sat am get to the turnstyle at 2.50 and find a spot in the north stand.Some times you were not even sure who you were playing at kick off but you never missed a game.
.As much as I love the Albion and thank Mr Bloom for his work I do feel football at the Amex has become increasingly corporate.I know of two long term sth who having given up going to home matches but go to almost all away games and are no longer sth.They describe the Amex experience as Emirates the sequal.I believe this is not a problem just of the Albion but of the corporate juggernaut that is the epl/tv.
I also fear that the Wembley experience will be a repeat of most big sporting events and indeed 1983.I remember for the reply when my local pub took a coach to Wembley and I believe only 10 out of the 40 passengers were regular Goldstoners the rest either casual fans at best or just hangers on.

Away games have always been better than home games, I’d predict that is the same for most if not all clubs, even Scousers moan about the kop being half full of tourists now.
You need to accept that those days are not coming back. Even if we have a make believe referendum that everyone buys into and wishes really really hard for. We’ll all wake up to tomorrow another day older and it still won’t be 1985 again......

Us too. In midddle of 133 for this. WSU is the normal spot.

Hopefully see you on the concourse. Will it be cider or lime and soda???

Totally agree with this. I now go to the Amex and it's a very different experience but my 13 year old absolutely loves it. He's just had confirmation that he can get a season ticket and he wants the full on 'North Stand' experience. I smile when I think about the North Stand at the Goldstone and wonder what the hell he'd think of that?!
