    Was just thinking, in 33 years supporting us, I've never been in there (or the previous away ends).
    Any of you lot been, and why?

    A little bit of respite from the Flyover/Sacktheboard/Portsmouthdefeat posts...

    A couple of us went in there after coming out of the Belle Vue, popped up. We were in with the Hull fans and got chucked out, climbed over the toilets into the Kop.

    The way things are going with the crowds.... we'll be able to fit all the home fans in there soon. You may yet get your chance.

    Last time I was in there was for the win v QPR to keep us up. It's a really good view from the top tier IMO. I was sat in in the very top of the Sunwin for the Reading cup tie and could look down on the Dallas, the top of the roof is incredibly clean...............amazing really...........

    When it first opened 93/94 ish? It was a home stand (possibly the family stand?).

    Used to sit in the middle of the upper tier, the view was good from there, but not from anywhere else - though you could tilt your head while at the urinal and still see the pitch, as well as watch the game when queuing for the tea bar, which was an advantage over any other part of the ground.

    I was in there a couple of years ago with my young un, near the front. Terrible view and the seat fell to bits.

    I've only been in there once. Was it the end of the "nearly" season when we were playing Ipswich at VP and we were also given the Bradford end? Think that was the reason I ended up in there!

    How the hell did you manage to climb over the toilets from the TL Dallas stand and land in the kop?

    Me too. Big coincidence. Are you my dad? I remember that game well. I spent all game (well half) screaming at their keeper to let goals in for us as they had nothing to play for. I'm convinced I was responsible for that win as a result!

    Memory might be playing tricks but sure my dad took us in there against Ipswich in the 87/88 season - Abbo and McCall scored...

    We sat a couple of rows from back in the upper behind the goal. Brilliant view from a small number of seats

    Same here. As a young 'un I was devastated. I remember the old man saying something along the lines of ' don't worry there's always the playoffs...' nowt like being a city fan

    I've been in there twice, both with mates who supported the away team. Used my season ticket to get in.

    Once against Gillingham, and we won 5 nil. Second time was midweek game against Nottingham Forest. I think we lost 2-1 to a late goal.

    I had a season ticket in there when it first opened. Front row of the top tier, dead centre behind the goal and it's hands down the best view in the ground.

    Only ever sat in there once for a Bradford northern game back in the early 90s I think. Got a great view of Deryck Fox’s kick to the opposite side over his shoulder. Thought the view was excellent.
