it has been brought up on another thread but looking at the pictures they look extremely high,they just dont look in proportion with the seating,is it possible for fans to have an obstructive view behind these walls

Its a massive error IMO...Cant sell seats around these at all. they either have to cut the concrete down or reduce the seating.

looking at the pictures the seats pivot in the middle and if you look at the pictures with seats with backs on you can see it is higher than you think

on the 2:05 webcam, there is a couple of things on the backs of the seats in the far corner.
It doesn't look hopefully but it is very difficult to tell from so far away.

Worst case they'll have to chop a foot of concrete off each section or we'll have the best mexican wave team in the whole of the football league.

If you look on the webcam, at the bottom left corner of the North stand and compare the concrete wall to the Heras fence around the pitch for a size indicator, it looks like the walls are about 3 to 3 & half foot tall. Seeing as your seat will be at least 18 inches off the floor to give you enough leg room, it would mean your torsoe + neck would need to be less than 2 foot to see over the top off the wall.

Should be no poblem at all to see over the top off unless your taking a minor to the games with you and it might restrict the view for your little ones. Of course this is all worked out on the bases of guessing how high that heras fence is on the pitch. I really can't see the old health and safety bods letting you have a pretective wall around the walkways less than 3ft. I think we are all worrying about nothing :wacko:

What about "persons of restricted growth" or PORGs if you are a Tom Sharpe fan lol.

Hope these high walls show up clearly on the plans, or people might be surprised when they buy their season ticket, turn up for the first match & are looking at grey concrete. I know we sometimes don't have the most exciting of matches, but staring at concrete instead would be a bit much!
Don't worry what people think, they don't do it very often.
Aum Reshni Chaat.
