Robbored Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Just changed SC seat from the Dolman the Upper Teir in the Lansdown for the Brum game. Always been keen to see what the view is like from up there. Has anyone seen a match from there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Went to the Rugby Boxing Day, front row. Have to say it was a brilliant view, be interesting to know if it's the same from a block with people in front of you. I'm sure you'll be impressed.

City Rocker Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Went up there for the Blackburn game, the view is superb but I felt a little detached from the game. Edit: this was my view: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHAGa Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Been there twice. Prepare yourself for a long walk up the steps to the upper tier! It is a fantastic view of the pitch, really gives you a good sight of the formations/movement of players. Does feel a bit like you're in the clouds as you're far above the rest of the ground but I'd gladly sit there regularly if our crowds were ever large enough to justify it.

After originally saying they will not move any tickets, now are saying only season ticket holders can move. Not very happy as I would of held off getting tickets if I knew I could move to the Lansdown upper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyderInACan Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Pretty usual for ST holders to change seats to any other part of the ground - but you're only allowed 3 swaps per season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyderInACan Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Oh and there are lifts you can use if you don't fancy/can't use the steps. We swapped into there for the Blackburn game, which I think was the first time it had opened. From memory there is much less room for the queues for the bars etc in that upper concourse, so it was pretty rammed at HT up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelRobartes Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 I was up there for the Rotherham match. I hoped that I wouldn't be able to see the game very well from there but sadly the view was excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swapped from the Dolman for the Blackburn game. Obviously, the view is perfect but I felt a bit detached from the rest of the ground TBH and I was in the front row of the upper tier. Those stairs are a pain as well especially if you're getting on a bit but I would imagine the lifts are working now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be around 22k or so sold with a week and a bit to go. Could be a silly question but if there is only half of W2 and the whole of W1 to open, what are we talking about 22k? Isn't the capacity 27k? Do we think that the majority in the upper are transfers from elsewhere in the ground? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacki Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 I sat up there v Rotherham and have to say the view is fantastic. You get a great sense of the patterns of the game, movement of players etc. I know what people mean by feeling a bit detached though, it almost felt like we were in a separate ground at times. I imagine it will be a lot better up there if it's full, it was pretty empty for the Rotherham game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
