Amazing atmosphere!
Nice elevated view. Could see both penalty areas well which is what matters. Absolutely electric atmosphere! The fans around me were singing the entire 90 minutes. This is what football is all about. Highly recommend this section.

Okay sightlines. The height helped but you lose some of the close-up action. If you want to experience real English football atmosphere, sit here. Unbelievable noise levels. Best value section in the stadium. Don't waste money on the pricier seats. Toilets were okay, food was average. Normal match day experience.
