best sections at the Etihad?

[Skilly McRailnob]

Going to the villa match on mar 6. Not a lot of options...should I just go for seats closest to midfield?

Saturday March 5th.

There are no bad seats, really. But, if you want a better atmosphere then the south stand is the one to be at.

Wonder if he will stay to the end :)

In 111 with the real men! And don't worry if the game is a bit shit because you'll always have some poor sod in the villa end who you can pick on! A real bonus

Could be one of those games seen best through alcohol blurred vision -- south stand is probably your best bet.

Colin Bell lower is the best place to be. And if you sing even better as you can join me!

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

If yer under 18 South Stand Level I, if yer've ten kids in tow family stand, if yer over 85 level 2, anything else, level 3, dyed-in-the-wool Blue, 323!

For grown up banter South Stand level 2

Save behind the goal bobbins views for away games. May as well get yourself down the side of the East Stand Level 1 same view as the Colin Bell but people get more involved (some people don't even stand up to cheer goals in the CB).

Depends on your definition of a 'bad' seat.

Rows 1-5 anywhere are 'bad' in my view. As are the top parts of the 3rd tier.

 

[remember arthur mann]

106 east stand, most learned, educated football fans !

 

[Skilly McRailnob]

looks like section 314...

Excuse me, I am on row 1 and it is a brilliant view and brilliant banter with/at the players.

No wonder we can't defend, they're too busy chatting to you! ;-)

I am on Row 1 too. Possibly opposite to you. Really like it - apart from the rain. There are things that you see that you don't get to see at all if you're sat elsewhere. Pluses and minuses.

Exactly Marvin, and to be honest, apart from Saturday when we played so abysmally, I don't even mind the rain. It reminds me of my earliest days of supporting football. No cover then. :-)

Aha, it is the opposition players we like to distract not ours. Ours we tell to get on with it and stop admiring our beauty. ;-)

I'm in 314 6 rows up, away fans to our right if they take the full allocation. Not sure whether Villa wil tbh

Im on row B in 116 and i love the view when we are kicking into the SS. However when we are kicking the other way its hard to sometimes judge where on the pitch the ball actually is, end up watching the big screen a lot. Being so close to the pitch though does allow for the guy sitting behind me to abuse their keeper for 45 minutes and he 100% can hear it all.
