    Would like to move back a bit, but doubt there are any seats in the lower stand.

    Yep, done it last week.

    Block J in Kop, more central and probably easier on my eyes.

    Nah, remaining in the Midland Road. Don't like the view from the Kop, feels like the second-rate experience for me - it's what most clubs give the away fans, a shoddy view from a crappy stand.

    I used to like standing on the kop. Being only 5’1” I never saw a goal at the kop end until we moved to the Main Stand. Always a big surge forward:) Other half had to sit down due to cartilage operation, we like the whole view, lol

    I like the whole view, too. I guess it's what you're used to.

    I did spend a season in the Kop - the last season we were allowed to stand - but I was younger and didn't really care for it. The only time I've been in the Kop since has been for cup games - granted it's awesome if you're at the front and you're stuffing Villa, but then it doesn't really matter where you are for those games. I was in some weird seat in the main stand for the L**ds win, and that was just as euphoric.

    I'm in the North West Corner and was considering moving if season ticket sales declined significantly, but they haven't.

    It can be quite sparse in the North West Corner so I was fearing there might only be a few dozen of us in there if season ticket sales declined.

    The best view available is on the halfway line, but I've been known to get a bit angry and use an odd naughty word and don't think I'd be welcomed into the Main Stand or the Midland Road Stand due to that.

    I used to be on the halfway line in the Midland Road Stand years ago and there was only one other fellow raging bloke in there. He once got so angry that he took his replica shirt off and threw it down to the bottom of the stand. Shortly afterwards, City scored and he walked down to the bottom of the stand to retrieve his shirt.

    Used to think the view from the north west corner was the best in the ground. However we moved to the Kop very close to where we used to stand for years and it’s great there

    I agree, up until 3 years ago we were very low down in the kop and it was an awful view. The mrs renewed for us that year and my instruction was to get us near the back... We ended up at back alright, but it was in the NWC. However i loved it in there, fantastic view, very underestimated in my opinion.. One of the best views ive had both home and away and the banking of it makes it ideal for kids as no matter who is in front of you, you can still see over them.

    However, as mentioned above it has become quiet and a little sparse plus its very regularly used for freebies with upto 100 a game in there and a lot of the groups a nuisance more than anything so we are heading into the upper kop next year
