I'm getting tickets to the Aston Villa match for a few people from work. I've bragged about our good atmosphere and how even if the girls aren't that into the match, there's a lot of chanting and dancing around etc. I think Block B would be a bit too hardcore for the day-trippers and I really want them to have the best of both - a good view and atmosphere and I doubt you see much down in Block B. However, I'm going to need to be able to stand up and shout at the ref without getting told to be quiet so what's the best place to sit? I was thinking as close as possible to the Arthur fanatics without actually in with them. I know the family stand is a no-go. My season ticket is in the gallery but I doubt I can get a load of tickets together there.

Arthur Wait close to the halfway line and as far back as you can get.

Alternatively, AW, but close to Blocl B, so you get a good view of any displays/banners, and are close to the noise.

Block Y in the Arfur is my preferred place of choice these days and it covers the best of both worlds

Sorry only just read this bit, back of Arthur Wait is just a more beat down, rowdy version of block B with a worse view. Maybe go block Y W or U in Arthur near the pitch, you'll have a great view of the game and will get away with standing up and calling the ref a w***er throughout.

Back of Block W in the Arthur, but... Be warned, the media gantry runs the entire length of the pitch. You can still enjoy the game, but [in my eye line] the scaffolding "sits" on the far touch line. I don't mind it. You don't miss much and you see the media folk doing interviews which gives it real premiership immediacy. The trouble is, if you move half way down the stand there is no view obstruction, but the atmosphere all but vanishes.

You might want to go online and have a look at availability first, Only seats you can buy together are in The Arthur and these are selling fast.

I can't recommend Block W of the Arthur highly enough. Panoramic views of play, plus all the sights and sound of the HF, together with our own singers - all this plus the opportunity to wave at the away support when necessary. Highly recommended for an all 'round great match experience.
