Need some cover, won't be going again if it's raining!

Don't know if things already in place but anyone sat there should certainly have free access to Fox's bar to escape the elements.

A couple of problems 1) not enough capacity and 2) we don’t do free.

Not really much help, need to sit down, can't stand.

Not ideal in inclement weather ,but needs must , and if the end product is a shiny new stand I feel the odd soggy clothing or sunburn will be a sacrifice worth making in the long run.Personally if physically able and looking at the forecast I’d have plumped for the North stand . A win today would have made those wet clothes a more palatable experience.

So if not physically able we have to settle for getting soaked when it rains. I wasn't the only one not happy, most near me were extremely unhappy.

Anybody sat there today has my sympathy. I remember going to HKR in their uncovered seats on a day like today. Their jobs worth stewards wouldnt even let you stand up and the were handing out packa macs. I would also be a little concerned about something a bit more damaging than rain comming down from the boxes above.

I was thinking to myself if I'd have paid for a season ticket in the seating stand I'd be pretty annoyed.

My son, his mate and myself upgraded to Fox's bar. Drinks were not allowed on balcony and strictly monitored.

I sent an email to the club last night after I had finally dried out. I explained that I would not use those seats again if there was a possibility of rain on game day, therefore would I be able to use my seated pass to enter the North Stand. I received a respectful reply from MC this morning advising me I can use the seated pass but advised to arrive early due to restricted capacity of 1500. It seemed to me there was no where near 1500 in the North Stand yesterday, and if there was, the it was only one third full. I have no complaints re the new seating, I think they are more than adequate on dry days, and no problem with the view of the pitch. It’s a long time since I’ve watched a game from behind those posts.
