I sat on the front row for the first and last time last season and can't for the life of me see why people might like sitting there. All you see is a mass jumble of legs with a ball pinging about in between, and all the while getting battered by the famous Manchester rain and sleet. The mind boggles how they are going to put another three rows lower down towards the pitch, you'd have to have a neck like a Giraffe to see anything!
agree with this. I'd never sit on the front row. without the rain its a poor do so when it pisses down its double shit. level 2 right under the covers for me :)
I've only just caught up with this thread so bear with me please.
I sit on the front row of the CB L stand and I wouldn't change it for the world. You get to see the players close up, the expressions on their faces, when they used to warm up on our side of the dug out you got to cheer the subs as they warmed up. I've never ever seen just a tangle of legs, apart from when they fall down. It is brilliant. For my birthday a couple of years ago my family wanted to buy me a seat in corporate/hospitality or whatever it's called and I told them no thanks, no way am I going to sit anywhere but in MY seat. Not sure how it would be if they move it 3 rows lower but I would still want that front row. Plus sitting there means that I don't have people standing in front of me, I can't stand for long now so it is essential for me to sit down.
As for the rain, come on lads, that's half the fun. Watching football in all weathers is part of my psyche, I was brought up on the no cover terraces. Stop being wimps!! ;-)
