The East stand is full of skinny youths and messed up skinflints and sellers of the big issue. Whenever we’ve tried it’s always been crap and I’ve ended up longing for the the WS and gazing at my usual location.
However, years go we were told, after I said it was ridiculous to charge an 8yr old £190 and I didn’t fancy the north (back then) east or the south. “The WS is an exclusive stand because it doesn’t face the sun and people have access to corporate facilities etc blah, blah blah “. I actually hate seeing freeloading corporate parasites in suits etc at matches but thats a different story.
Basically told I was self important and to ‘STFU’ if I didn’t like it. Fair enough, but nobody should be mystified if the damn stand is hardly ever full.
The 8 yr old is now 14 and like cowards, to this day we’ve eaten ‘humble pie’ and sit in the Victor Meldrew stand.
