I was in the posh seats this time but agree with the poster above about the legroom at standard OT seats being really annoying (I'm 6'2). Call me a fun sponge but I think it's time to ban those horns.

I agree regarding leg room,I am 5-11 and wasnt ideal for me.
Funny thing was this woman sat behind me had her knees in my back and I said if anything could be done she said it wasnt her fault as she was sat as far back as poss I nearly said open your legs luv but thought it wasnt appropriate because we wasnt formally introduced.

We were in the safe standing area, not far back from the tunnel and it was great. Plenty of room (when standing) and something to lean on. Bar was quiet near our bit and no issues getting served etc.

I wouldn't mind seeing the GF moved to Everton's new ground tho. Not only does it look like it will be one of the best venues in the North, it Would be a great change up. It's pretty much in the city, so no issues with trams etc, plenty of old school pubs and large venues in walking distance too.

It’s capacity that’s the issue with any potential move. If any other side bar Catalans make that GF, you’re talking at least 10k more fans attending and nowhere in the North is big enough. It’ll be years down the track but there’s talk this Man U partial sale will lead to the ground being renovated. That would be perfect for Rugby League but can we last it out at OT for another 5+ years.

Question on the safe standing section mate, was everyone standing?

I was considering them tickets but saw a comment saying everyone in them last year was sitting.

If we get back to the GF I might consider going in there.

Were in North N2405 between the 30m and 40m lines. A good mixture of fans with no trouble whatsoever. I don't like watching a game from behind the posts so these seats were ideal, I'd rather pay a bit more and have less bother.

We’ve done safe standing a couple of times now. It was great on Saturday but we were right at the back. We did it for the WC final and we were at the front and that wasn’t great because people behind were sat down and then you felt like you had to and to say it was cramped was an understatement.

I'd have hated to have had to sit down. Luckily enough for us, we got in earlier than we normally would and naturally stood up, anyone who came after kind of just followed our lead.

Personally, I thought it made it a better atmosphere + the organisation of the seats/rows made it a better experience than traditional, free for all standing areas.
