glastored Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 I’ve had a season ticket for several years in E32 in the Dolman Stand. As I’m now of pension age, and poorer in pocket, I’m considering moving my seat into a cheaper area, and I’m thinking of shifting to E29 instead. When I look across to that section it looks to me to be where fans stand up during a game. Am I wrong? I hope so, because at sixty-nine years of age my legs won’t cope with that! Please advise… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted March 11 Admin Report Share Posted March 11 Assume you know that you can move your season ticket seat up to three times for no charge? I would advise moving over for a game before the end of this season to experience it for yourself 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Geoff Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 There will be plenty of empty seats in the last 3 home games. Why not go and find an empty seat and try it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Dante Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 (edited) Yeah to be fair I can’t see anyone really standing up much in the remaining games of the season! Phantoms suggestion seems a good one, with the serious caveat that with likely depressed attendances (and depressed attendees) it might not be reflective of what you’ll get when we turn the corner. Edit: I’m in E30. No real standing there and I don’t see much in E29 from where I sit Edited March 12 by Silvio Dante 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 E34 tends to be where the unofficial 2nd Standing Area moved to. The top couple of rows perse people tend to stand so it depends how high up you want to go. One thing I have noticed is that on most if not all of the Dolman blocks, most stand around the vomitoriss owards the end of the game...neither exiting or seated, they stand there half leaving yet watching. Again seems to vary by area, 85 mins onwards it isn't uncommon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hartleysbeard Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 I am a ST holder in E29. There isn’t an issue with persistent standing so you should be ok for the most part. As people empty out for their half time pint, those closest to the aisles will be obstructed, so perhaps a middle of the row seat will suit you better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember sitting in the middle of a row will add 30 minutes to exiting at full time whistle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m aiming for about halfway down, between rows 20 & 29. At the moment I’m up near the top of E32, and find the climb a bit much these days!

I’m in row 20…moved up from a few rows lower on account of an absolute clown whose language I could tolerate no longer! It’s a decent view from there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that’s a bit of an exaggeration. I think, irrespective of where you’re sat in the row, if you stay to the end then you’re going to be behind those who’ve already left their seats.

Your behind everyone sat in front of you so the lower the row number the quicker you will get out. Dolman stand is notoriously slow to exit. 30 odd years have taught me that and I have an end seat!
