I was totally knackered by the time I got to my seat in Row 57 but once up there it was an amazing view. Don;t think I'll be viewing either of the screens in the north end too far away and partly obscured but the big screen to my left in the south stand is going to be amazing. I'm in the 1882 club so was a bit surprised at how high up my seat was as I expected to be much lower down.


Row 52 here! Are you in the 1882 that is situated at the top left if you were to view it from the pitch? So in other words looking at the internal cam on the live feeds are you top left on the single tier? Im their just to the left of that entry/ exit point on that part!
See u in the 1882 bar if so man.

Actually think the sides are worse than the ends. Imagine Son bursting down the wing, he gets a bit of a nudge at full pelt one foot lands on the pitch and the other on the slope that’s his ankle done in. Not sure I’ve ever seen anything like it especially at the sides.
You're right it was worse. Not sure how the linesman is going to get on...

You should give a monkeys what old trafford is like because the slope is steeper and since they had it from the early 80's and have had hardly any injuries (or no more than any other club) caused by crashing into the boards then you are making a drama out of nothing. If it was a serious problem do you think a) they wouldn't have changed it? b) we would have copied them?

To be honest I have never noticed the fallout to be like that all around OT but the other side of that drop at ot doesn’t look like you would be jumping over the hoarding into a deeper area full of concrete. Go over the hoarding at OT and your land up on someone’s lap.

If you don’t believe that looks dangerous let’s hope your right and I’m wrong, and I’ll be very happy if I am wrong, but if I’m right let’s hope the injury isn’t season/career ending.

Those doeing me feel free and hopefully I am wrong and you don’t look stupid, because the speed some of these players travel I honestly don’t think it looks safe enough

I cannot believe a bunch of us rank amateurs have picked up on this problem and the authorities haven’t. Fucking architects! ?

It's worse and closer than OT.

Genuinely not seen anything quite like it at the 50plus grounds I've been to.

I'm sure this isn't an oversight (obviously!) But it will be interesting when play the first game there...

We'll see but i'm sure if poch or the team felt it was a major issue we could move the advertising boards back a bit. There is room.

Did we find out if the turnstiles have the facial recognition software or not?

They must have something else extra to stop people.
