Having gone to my first game this season against Huddersfield. (After having had a season ticket for 18 years and seeing the writing on the wall under Hughes) I sat in the new corner and was shocked at the lack of leg room. My knees were hanging over the seat in front and had to apologize to the guy infront. I'm 5'10 and had no trouble before. Is this normal with the new seats? photos.app.goo.gl/FuZRXpAZTXs1CSGx2 |

Well he gets the blame for everything else. |

I'm 6'3 so the problem is even greater for me and it's throughout the stadium, sitting sideways for two hours is very uncomfortable, bring on safe standing areas. |

It's time substantial sums of the Premier League slush fund were spent on the fans instead of astronomical player wages. Time for heated, padded seats, loads of leg room, and free pies and pints.  |

I'm 6'6" and I swapped my seat with my mate so I can be by the stairwell.
It is a definite issue though.
I remember QPR away being a bastard nightmare.

It gets worse the further around the corner you go, where the seats don't line up with the ones in front. We've all had to move seats between us in our row so that people can fit in. First seat move for me since the stadium was built.

First seat move for me since the stadium was built. That's what I figured. Was also wondering if it's the new seats leaning back more. |

I think I am right in saying away to coventry, the seats were tiny, so everyone stood for the whole game. I didnt notice anyone sitting down! |

Not only that, but the roof looks slightly wonky as well. Still wish they made the seats look better in the Boothen as well.

I'm 6ft3 and had seats in there a few times this season. They're definitely more snug than everywhere else in the ground. Standing up isnt an option when you're anywhere but near the back where everyone stands. Especially when most of the section is kids or people that are shorter thsn you (most unfortunately). Never had that problem in the other corner.

All these people whining about the new corner, me me me me me..>Spare a thought for one second for the dozens of loyal fans who week in week out stood on the grass bank, firstly to have their view limited by the screen, then to be completely destroyed by the new stand...
What on earth are these hardy souls gonna do now...
