pigeon Posted February 13, 2023 Report Share Posted February 13, 2023 Looking at sitting in the Lansdown next Saturday and saw a couple of seats that have a restricted view warning. Assuming this is because of them being right next to the entrance (W16). Can anyone vouch how bad the view is? If I just have to poke my head around for a corner, i'm not too bothered, but don't want to be breaking my neck to watch half the game!

Harry Posted February 13, 2023 Report Share Posted February 13, 2023 Just buy the ticket and sit somewhere else if it’s shit. There’s always loads of seats 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ska Junkie Posted February 13, 2023 Report Share Posted February 13, 2023 The lower Dolman has a few with restricted view but I'm not aware of the Lansdown having any restricted view seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a glass in front of you which acts as a barrier to stop people falling forward. Like Harry says, you can sit wherever as there will be plenty of seats just might be a bit higher up 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunsteral Posted February 13, 2023 Report Share Posted February 13, 2023 the biggest restrictions are the stewards that stand in front of you at the top of the steps. They dont realise they are doing it until someone shouts "get out of the way" and then they sheepishly move. Other than that no problem. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Brent Posted February 13, 2023 Report Share Posted February 13, 2023 If it’s like the ones in the Dolman, they become restricted view when people are leaving and stop to watch the game on their way out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some restricted seats in lower Lansdown are due to the walls around the disabled sections. W16 for example. It means that the corner (Lansdown corner with Atyeo) is difficult to see.

Just had to lean slightly forward if the ball was in the corner of the Atyeo/Lansdown. Theres not really a bad seat in the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open End Numb Legs Posted February 14, 2023 Report Share Posted February 14, 2023 If I was to think of something I would want to stop me falling, a glass panel wouldn't be top of the list! I am sure it is all well thought through. Better than canvas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothings going through those glass panels, not even Joe’s wheelchair when I’ve accidentally leant across him to give him some sweets and knocked his joystick! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMWANG50 Posted February 14, 2023 Report Share Posted February 14, 2023 (edited) I bought a restricted view ticket in the Dolman for the Man U game as I wasn't a member. There was some glass screens in the vicinity but nothing to block the view at all, in fact some season ticket holders sat near me said their mates just never got around to buying their season ticket seats and they were just reissued so weren't overly happy with me and a few others sat there :laugh:!

ralphindevon Posted February 14, 2023 Report Share Posted February 14, 2023 I sat in one if those in W16 for the WBA game as my seat, a few rows back, had already gone. It's ok but you do have to look through the glass when the play was that side which i did get a bit fed up with towards the end and wouldn't want to sit there every gsme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, that would block the view of the front rows. Man City took out seats to accommodate them at the Etihad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s fine but you need to stand up for some of the corners, we moved as it was a bit annoying but would be fine for the odd match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
