RESTRICTED VIEW?

Sun Aug 10, 2014 8:06 am

Notice that a few "restricted view" seats have gone on sale at the CCS for the Super Cup... Why is it a restricted view? Thought there were no restricted views in this new build?

514 is central, I know because I'm in it next season.

There must be issues with the staircases obstructing views?

If its anything like Wolfsburg game it will be restricted because of some idiots stood up at the front of the new stand so nobody behind them can see at all...

I'd have thought 511 bad 517 were the most likely to have restricted views, but we had photographic evidence to prove even the seats closest to the end of the new stand were able to see the full pitch.

If it's to do with the stairwells, that's poor at a modern state-of-the-art stadium.

It'll be good to see the stadium full.

We are looking at sell outs for a few games this season I feel, we will get almost double what the Jacks get which is great. All blues and proper fans too.

In all honesty, I think it does have something to do with the "bars" surrouding the stairwells slightly on either side, and to be fair its not a major issue. Its only on the end of the rows too. Was up there for the open training session and the Wolfsberg game, and they we no real problem - not for me anyway.

However, There is a bar there - not high, but it is there. For that reason, (as with the comments on the "wing blocks") the club HAVE to say there is restriction because if someone was put there they could start complaining and would have a case if the club didnt forewarn people of it being restricted.

Will be interesting when e-tickets is updated with images of these "restrected views" to see what they consider a restriction.....

I agree. There are a few tasty fixtures and as we will be winning more often than not, it'll encourage some of the fickle fans to attend. To be fair, it was difficult to enjoy a number of games last season. The squad looks strong in terms of scoring goals and as long as the mid and defence gel, the matches will be really entertaining to watch.

C'mon Bluebirds!

I moved from one of these sets in the Grandstand when he stadium opened.

I wanted an accessible seat for my father and chose one just as you come out of the stairwell. However you end p with a steel bar at eye level (well for a short ass like me it was).

The steel bar is there in case people tumble down the stairs either side of the concrete stairwell.

If that's a restricted view then places like Selhurst and Loftus must have whole restricted view stands.
