In the Lower Tier or down the pub (or maybe watching Dagenham & Redbridge).

If managed well by the club the move to the stadium could be done with minimum damage to the traveling faithful (maybe some meetings with the guys over at arsenal wouldnt go a miss to understand how they handled the move)
My brother-in-law is a STH at Arsenal, as I recall for ordinary STHs there were presentations and a chance to view displays - I think there was also a suggestion along the lines of "if you are in block x we suggest we move you to block y". As he is in a wheelchair I believe he was allowed to visit the ground before picking his "seat". I keep meaning to ask him again so I will and then post up the details.

It is worth noting that the Emirates lower tier is cheaper than the upper tier, will Brady continue to copy Arsenal?

At present I am in the BML, in row Z by the edge of the penalty area. Don't fancy moving to the top tier.

I'm pretty sure the club have already said existing ST holders WILL get the chance to look around the stadium to see where they would like to sit before buying. I believe the club already let you look around our current ground for ST holders and those wanting to move seats as well.

they dont let you look around as they have a seating plan on the website which give you a view from the seat

The standing area where the most noise is generated - Preferably next to the away fans but we will have to see about that.

Currently front row in the Alpari upper....for me, nothing will be able to beat it.

A lot of supporters seats will be next to community supporters with their freebies, as they have to give away 100,000 tickets per season, i wonder if these tickets have to be allocated in advance in case we don't have any home cup draws, meaning up to 5000 freebies per game or if they are giving them away at the more unfashionable games the figure could be much higher.
