Best place to sit for atmosphere...


i_8_clowns Flag Dorset 21 Sep 21 1.18pm

Hi all,

Apologies for a bit of a basic question...

I've not been to Selhurst since pre-Covid and the Block E HF changes.

Wondering where the best place to sit is now for atmosphere? Closest available to Block E is Block B in Lower Holmesdale. Does anyone know if the atmosphere reaches there or is the AW the best bet?

Cheers for any help!

Be prepared to stand up the whole game. You are between the ultras and AW so will get plenty of noise. Block B do plenty of singing.

I'd like to tag onto this post if okay. Similar to myself. Haven't been to Selhurst for a few years now due to a combination of COVID and away fixtures falling on my rare Saturdays off work. I had a season ticket in the Arthur for a while but back in the Championship days would be in LH B block. I've got tickets for F block for Leicester game quite near the front and am hopeful of standing and singing throughout. If anyone knows please let me know what I'm in for.

Against Brighton the whole stadium was singing. The only other place I know that does that is Anfield for Never walk alone. Looked to me from X block Arthur that all 4 sides were singing most of the game. We must be the best in the country now. Yeahhhhh.

Enjoy Hereford, the less you go the more you enjoy it is my mantra.

Ha ha, well, im making a stand spider-I was happy with my season ticket,until they put it up 60%, and I notice this season there have been around 100 empty seats in the main stand by the whitehorse, my seat was in the main stand, so karma I would say!

Without wishing to be facetious, I suppose it depends on what atmosphere you are looking for. I sit in the Whitehourse and occasionally it’s similar to a dinner dance in Bognor. So if that’s what you are looking for… As regards “best place to sit for atmosphere…”, I know a lovely cafe in the Batignolles area of Paris where the atmosphere is in my opinion unrivalled.

I used to like view of the ground from the whitehorse, it looks like a big ground staring at the holmesdale and having the full length of the arthur , if we ever do build a new stand, it might be great with loads wanting to sit there, but you don"t get to see it in its full glory! Much better to be opposite or to the side to appreciate it.
