[Damski]

That'll be 5 rows from the front, you're probably quite close to the goalmouth there. Wouldn't know what the view's like tho, never sat in the away end

That's the lower tier of the bramall lane end, which only has about 20 rows, so you're five from the front.

Welcome to the forum! You'll be five rows from the front, roughly in line with where Henderson's shots will end up. Bring a coat - the roof might not cover you if it rains If you've been to every game this season then you've already been to the Rust Bucket - this will be a much better experience in terms of stadium than that was.

Wow - helpful lot we are; two other replies in the time it took me to find a photo of the stand.

It just goes A, B, C, D, and so on.

Absolutely, turn left out of the station and look for Shoreham Street on your right, then just walk in a straight line until you see the ground.

It's about 10-20 minute walk depending on how sprightly/pissed you are.

Many an away fan has ended up at the McDonald's on Suffolk Road following those simple instructions.

I can imagine, but as you say Nuddy, it really is that simple, turn left, then right at the traffic lights straight onto Shoreham Street.

If you're fancying a drink, go into town. You'll not get a drink in any of the pubs near the ground.

 

[Damski]

Nearest pub I know of that lets away fans in is Royal Standard, just down the road from the train station.

 

[Superblades]

A few away fans go in the Howard before the game which is across the road from the station.

And if you are that near to the front, watch out for the stewards if Forest have the audacity to score. Anything they consider encroachment(ie one toe past the front row) and they'll whip you out with your arm up your back before you can say 'I wasn't born when the miners were on strike'!

He'll get served wherever he wants if he's on his own.

I was a season ticket holder in the BLUT (now Jessica Ennis Stand) from 1971 to 1977. My seat was A 85. Loved the view although the steps are quite steep!

I used to sit up there with my Nannan and Poppa in the late 70s. I think it is the best view in the ground.

Hence why I love the Westfield Corner. Quality view. None of this helps our County supporting mate though....

Is there anyway you could bring a coachload of "staff" from Hooters with you?

Most of us wouldn't give a fuck if we lost ten - nil if you did.

I don't know if it's more expensive (or a bit late to swap), but the view from the upper tier is about as good as you'll find behind a goal anywhere in the country. I think I'm right in saying you couldn't build a stand with such a steep rake these days.

The bottom tier is nice and close to the goal but obviously not great for seeing the other end of the pitch...

good view just dont say anything bad to the female steward, she'll have you out
