    That'll solve it
    We did that at Highbury when the new North Bank was being built

    I hate the sections directly behind the goals. Not only is it very shallow but the view is extremely obstructed because of the goal itself and the angle you are viewing at, I've only ever sat there when I've been desperate to go to a particular game. Unsurprisingly those are generally the last seats to be sold as well.

    Not sure what can be done but I'm sure the Emirates being a modern build was designed with some sort of room for improvement.

    I've never been to the Emirates Stadium. But I agree with Marc, I think that's a mistake when they built it, making it so shallow, they should have built it like a freaking wall, but maybe there were height restrictions?

    Kids! You should have sat behind a pillar in the old East stand. You couldn't see a thing it play was behind it and when the ball was hoofed up in the air (which it was frequently) you couldn't see it because of the "letterbox" view.

    I think that was where I was for my first ever match at Highbury, the Middlesbrough 5-3 game, I was kind of hugging the post. Red member, the only seat I could get.

    I'd migrated to the North Bank Upper by then, munching prawn sandwiches

    A work colleague rents one of the flats at Highbury now, he invited a few of us over a while ago when he knew we were all Gooners. Very bizarre looking out into the gardens were the pitch was and also seeing some of the exterior exactly as it was back in the day. Great memories.
