Is an extra £30-£40 just for a padded seat worth the “upgrade”?
I’m a member of the 100 club and I wouldn’t pay an extra £30-40 just for a better seat if I was coming from another area of the stadium.
Also those seats which are available will involve a small amount of pillar obstruction as they are at the rear of the section. Best seats are rows D, E, F.
Bob Lord is still the best stand though. But of course I would say that, I’m an old git.

There were quite a few empty seats in the Lonsgside Lounge sponsor bit, which is the half towards the Jimmy Mac end of the ground. Prices from £2,280 to £3,120 including VAT, depending how near the middle you sit. (There's no way we'd be paying that if it wasn't for the share sale money!) More empty seats in the second half than the first, strangely. Perhaps they were all inside getting tanked up.
Last Tuesday when we stayed inside to watch the match, there weren't more than a dozen or so stayed in. Everyone else went outside to watch.

I would be surprised if they were better viewing seats than the Longside Upper.

Yesterday Alan Pace was at his daughter's wedding. So he can be forgiven. Hope the day went well. Congratulations.

Wasn’t he at his daughters wedding for the Huddersfield game?

Pace has probably got a fair few daughters on account of Mormons having about 10 Wives.

You would think he would be able to fill the directors box then?
