The final two columns of the upper tier in T still can't see the goal and the brickwork means that columns are lost in the lower tier. Approximately 116 seats are lost.

HMFC86 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Does anyone have a picture from the end off the stand looking down on the police box? I thought it was confirmed that it was the same view as the end off the wheatfield? The last row in section N can’t see the whole off the goal but can see the goal line.

Had a look pre match on Tuesday second last column could see the goal line and most of the net. Last column could not see net but could see goal posts.

@VladMagic Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Its fairly common knowledge that it isn't "just" a police box. All the stadium controls are housed in there from lighting to security cameras to tannoy systems. Its basically the control room and to move it along with the complete rewiring that would be required is a long and expensive job. There is absolutely no reason to moan about these seats unless you are stupid enough to buy one after being told your view will be partially restricted. In which case you need your head examined.

Could they not reformat the seats so there is a block of 6(or however many seats are in the end sections) in the middle of the stand, moving the end off the big sections closer to the end off the stand, thus leaving just the stairs at the end? Same Space but the stairs further over would likely remove the restricted view. Obviously would have to be a summer job. I may be missing something why this wouldn’t work.

Buffalo Bill Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 It really doesn’t matter. Just don’t buy a season ticket on that very end column. If a game is heading for a sell-out, sell those seats last as ‘restricted view’. If it was a massive game, I’m sure whoever is sitting there would be fine as a one-off.
