What Fans Say About Hillsborough

South Stand Upper★★★★★

Front row of the tier - unobstructed views all game long. Red card right in front of us - could see the tackle was horror show. Can't believe the price for these views. Expected more given the fixture.

South Stand Upper★★★★

Okay sightlines but nothing to write home about. Night game under the lights. Special. Had to generate my own atmosphere basically.

South Stand Upper★★★★

Fine for watching but you miss some details. Expected more given the fixture. Toilets were a nightmare at half time. Go early. Unbeatable value. Both teams came out for the warm-up right in front of us.

South Stand Upper★★★★

Happy with the view - could see both penalty areas clearly. Solid matchday vibe. Gets loud when it needs to. Feels like fair pricing. Programme seller was right by our entrance. Handy. Arrived 2 hours early. Good call - soaked up the atmosphere. First time at this ground.

South Stand Upper★★★★

Had to watch the screen for some replays. Okay but I've heard louder. Premium experience at budget prices.
