I feel very sorry for anyone in affected seats, I'd feel sick to my stomach if that was my view. And if that truly is the view, which seems to be the case, then Martin Perry should be asked for an explanation.

I totally agree. Especially in the case of the 1901 one. That is a platinum seat, front row, middle of the stand. It should be the best seat in the stadium and would have been sold as such. Instead it is probably nearly one of the worst. I would be fuming.

Yeah, unfortunately looks like someone has made a bit of a f*** up. A lot of money is being paid for that view and it looks like the worst in the ground.

There should at the very least be a price reduction for any affected seats.

All that money for that view...

The Club are taking the piss there!

I agree that the 1901 factor is relevant but the whole stadium was sold as "not a bad view in the house". As such those affected in the Upper West have an equal right to feel agrieved.

Interesting looking at similar seats in the Emirates, no sign of massive barriers. Does look like a f*** up by the builders or the architect :facepalm:

I'm not going to say anything as I bet The Bloke In Front Of Me is 6"10, 30-stone and insists on wearing a sombrero. Joking aside, agree with HJ, should be a price reduction on those seats.

My seat in WSU is in the front row and very close to an aisle. I'm beginning to worry !

I still don't think any of the photographs used to illustrate this point can possibly be an accurate portrayal of what a person actually sees when sat in the seat.

Anyone could quite easily put a camera right behind a barrier and take a picture..........

Bloody 'ell, that really is a shite spot ain't it?!

How much has that set the poor bugger back? I hope to God they haven't got themselves a PSL to boot.

The one of took from the West Stand Upper was quite literally taken whilst sitting in that seat, with my iphone from in front of my face. Yes it's a fixed point and you can move your head but it is still a restricted view seat and should've been sold as such.

That is a nightmare situation - unbelievable really that someone at the club thinks that view is acceptable. Seats at the front near aisles - which would have been some of the first snapped up. Feel desperately sorry for anyone sat there.

Wonder if they could erect hard clear perspex barriers instead, tho that still wouldn't be ideal. They surely must offer a 'restricted view' reduction for the affected seats.

Fuming is the least I would be doing! A big cock up by the club to say the least. I appreciate there has to be safety measures of course, but those seats should never have been sold, or if they were with at least a huge discount. I'm sure we haven't heard the last of this!

Sorry, but after all the relentless hype, you have to say that is hilarious.

For everyone else.

Will be very interesting to see what the club do. Stands sold out, where can they move them to?!!
