Smallsnaggy Posted October 23, 2023 Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 Hi all. Looking to buy 2 tickets to see the red roses in March. I want to get best possible seats, ideally with cover. Best seats left seem to be in W12 or E31 but I can’t work out which would be best. Obviously E31 is more central, but I’ve heard the Lansdown stand is better, and has better shelter from wind and rain. Would this be the case for W12?

Barrs Court Red Posted October 23, 2023 Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 Yes. The Dolman (where E31 is) tends to be move exposed, especially to the Sun. The Lansdown is better, mainly because it’s far more modern- though the Dolman is also a fine stand, with a modem concourse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're 5ft 6 or smaller the leg room will be about right in the Dooman. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 5'10" and the leg room in the upper dolman (which would be from what, row 13 onward?) is just about okay. If you're over 6' then you'd appreciate the additional leg room and newer seats in the Lansdown or lower dolman. If you want to avoid the rain, then you'll want a seat higher than about row 10 in either stand. I'm in row 29 of E31 and the view is great, and 100% dry. Occasionally get sun in the eyes, but usually its not high enough to be a problem now that the Lansdown stand is in the way. PS If you're overweight like I used to be then the higher Dolman seats might to be small. I had to wedge myself in when I was 18 stone, but now at 14 stone I have room to spare. This might also be an issue if you are seated next to a larger person. Edited October 23, 2023 by Sleepy1968 Large people 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smallsnaggy Posted October 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 Thanks everyone your replies are very helpful. I think I’ll go with the Lansdown stand to benefit from the extra leg room. And sorry for infiltrating a forum largely for football with a women’s rugby game query… 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
