New seat new experience

RedwebRedweb
in General Charlton
So after spending the last 18 years up in the west upper in the same seat, me and a fellow fan decided to move to the lower north. Not just for the cheaper seat but hoping for a better atmosphere, I was a little nervous at first thinking we would be stuck next to a load of morons but it turned out OK, the guys around us seemed to be in good spirits and supporting the team, I look forward to spending the season around them. My question is, has anyone else moved seat and after today thought, my god what have I done!?

    There's no legroom in the lower north. I know because I used to sit there.

    'a load of morons'?

    Well ok, there are some.

    How tall are you ? Seemed OK to me and I'm 6ft 1in tall, unless I'm in a row that's exceptional

    6ft 3.

    Some seats are better than others, but generally it's pretty poor.

    It was.

    One of us shouted out and about a dozen people turned round and stared

    What did you shout though??

    I had some riff-raff shouting at me at half time.

    I tried to ignore them but I think it was @wss and @afkabartram

    Sat in the Family stand in NEQ , used to sit in NWQ and it was no real difference, although the sun was in my eyes for a bit , thought the drummer had a decent game

    In the bogs there were pictures of the "LIAR" banner and they have a sweet shop there which was being used far too much for my liking

    Absolutely no idea how anyone can get any pleasure whatsoever sitting so quietly and verbally disengaged in a game of football.

    Weird. Unique

    Sorry, AFKA.

    I'll turn up my volume next time.

    You should try listening to it in your armchair.

    Dan, I have to say that since relegation(s) the East Stand atmosphere has really died. When full it could create some real noise, warmth and togetherness but pricing, our general shiteness and being one large space has really had a negative impact on the experience in there. The grounds best view I think though.

    Expecting to get shouted down for this but fuck it. My first game at the Valley since the Leeds game. Probably the best atmosphere I've experienced at the Valley for a number of seasons. I'm not one to pick on our own but if this protest means that some who go just to shout abuse at the players are staying away then good riddance.

    Don't worry I'm back Tuesday evening, so normal service will be resumed :-)

    I've moved apartments since the end of last season.

    My new sofa is MUCH comfier.

    Had a season ticket in the Lower West, right next to the directors box, for a good few years. Didn't renew this year and went yesterday, sat in North Upper, K Block and the leg room is unbelievable in comparison. Lower West was spacious but yesterday I could barely move.

    Good different experience however.

    Moved from upper to lower, view is great but its too cramped, much prefer to stand. Will give it a few more games if still dont like then will prob just walk up to the upper and stand up there

    The Leeds game was in December before any protest started not sure what your point is, how can you know what the atmosphere was like if you were not there.

    Bang to rights there

    I wasn't talking about the protests. The atmosphere has been toxic long before that.

    If you are a remnant of the 70s and 3,000 crowds then days like yesterday don't seem so 'unique'. Hoped I'd seen the back of them, mind you

    Done the same mate. Was actually a few rows in front of you. Gave up at half time. Went back up top and felt much more at home..

    Moved from Upper West to the East. Have never been in a football crowd before where the ALL the supporters have apparently been struck dumb. Thank god I have not got a season ticket there

    We tried having not renewed our seasons to try different seats. Unfortunately we found ourselves right behind one of those morons who seems to come for the sole purpose of abusing Morgan Fox. Rather than in evitably getting into a row with him, we moved to our old seats at halftime amongst old friends, and enjoyed the second half. Beware moving, test the seats first.
