RedLionLad Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 As above. It's wind dependant so always be prepared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the same throughout the world with regards to stadiums unless the disabled area has it’s own designated roof for the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offside Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 I haven't sat at the front of the South Stand, but my season ticket for many years was about 6 rows from the front of the Atyeo Stand and I used to get wet pretty much whenever it rained. The roof was above me but the rain just blew in from the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedLionLad Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 There is a disabled area behind me in the Lansdown.......never seen anyone use it. I'm guessing those seats are considerably more expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing those seats are considerably more expensive. They are probably the ones reserved for those on box/premium packages. Never seen anyone in there. We've been to most games over the last 3 seasons, sat in the section at the front of the Dolman. Surprisingly it doesn't rain that often. Once or twice a season.

Photo below will give you an idea of our seats. My shoes got a bit damp....once....that season. Not sure whether we got lucky, but it was fine. Personally I loved it there, but Joe wanted to go into the Lansdown A4 section. Shout if you need any more info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
