We have our season tickets on the back row of the East Lower block I so are very close to the block above.
I wouldn't call either block rowdy but it is a good atmosphere compared to many areas of the ground. My dad is 76 and uses a walking stick so we can't go in to the south stand as he'd struggle to cope. My son is 19 so we strike the balance of being in an area with some atmosphere while still being able to have my dad enjoy himself. We've been there for 10 years this year so do enjoy the area. The view isn't too bad in the first half where you may have to crane your neck around the next person to see any action in the North East corner. Its an amazing view in the second half if we are shooting towards the South stand.

The challenge we've had in the lower block is people standing on occasion in front of us which means our row also have to stand or perch to be able to see, which causes friction with a few people on the front of the upper block I who then complain that they can't see.

Me and my lad don't mind the standing, and actually prefer it and would love some safe standing there, but my dad struggles on the odd game it happens etc.

These complaints from those people have actually gone as far as the Club, the council and EFL which has meant the club have had to try and do something about it. Even had some of the Clowe's team sitting in the area to see for themselves what happens etc.

Further up upper block I there is a section of fans who do stand, who haven't been complained about so it is most matches, so if the available tickets are in and around those you may find yourself standing.
 

If you can't get into the south stand and want some atmosphere and don't mind the potential of standing I'd recommend the upper and lower I blocks to get a season ticket. Although I don't think the lower block is open for season tickets as they have stopped new purchases over the last two years.

Hope that helps.

Thanks to everyone for the advice. We’ve decided to move to block I of East Upper and I’ve just pushed the button. From @England Ram’s very helpful post it sounds like a decent atmosphere. We’re in row D, so probably quite close to you.

Is this the right time to warn you about my horrendous flatulence problem? I say problem, I quite like it…

Tough one due to your category.

I would relocate now to the SW if I was you. That way you get your loyalty early bird discount and you go to a cheaper area where you want to be anyway.

Then, when those who dont renew seats come available you can move again?

 

 

Thanks mate but there aren’t any pairs of seats in the SW, only singles.

I could do with some advice please. Haven’t renewed yet as my lad wants to move. We’re in the West Lower and it’s pretty quiet. The players’ families sit in the block on the left and there isn’t much atmosphere around us. I don’t mind it but he loves our away days and wants to be in the South Stand. There aren’t any season tickets available though and when I contacted the club, they said there might be some after the renewals deadline but can’t guarantee it. It seems unlikely to me.

Looking at the rest of the ground, the only area with 2 seats together that I think would be a better atmosphere is in block I of the East Upper. Does anyone sit around here? It’s close to the away fans, so is it rowdy? 

My nerves can’t take much more of this. We’ve been pretty bad this half.

Get in!!! That run from Sibs and the weight of pass was delightful. NML back on the score sheet, with a bit of help from the keeper going awol!

… PC World.

Thank you Shrews! 

Congrats to Pompey as well, they deserve it.

Thank you Shrews and well done Pompey. 👏 

Massive, massive win. I really enjoyed that, didn’t feel too tense as we were clearly much better than Orient.

Ebou, Smith, Wilson all had great games and well done Sonny. He owed us that for the brainless red card.

That's a really great selection. Just need to add The Littlest Hobo and it will be perfect.

Littlest Hobo would be my first choice. Also Minder, Knight Rider, Twin Peaks, Peaky Blinders and Stranger Things. I watched the first series of ST in the middle of the night when I had insomnia and it still sends a chill down my spine.

I didn’t realise how bad CBT’s miss was as we were up the other end. Just seen the “highlights” and that was shocking.

Just got home after the M40 and M42 were closed. It’s been a long trip for a very disappointing performance and result. No question, we have to win the remaining games.

Hi All, I hope you are all good? Come in peace, I just wanted to let those who are driving down know about things to think about before getting to the ground.

At the moment, there are 2 different sets of roadworks that have temp traffic lights. One is on a busy bit of the A40 and the other is on Lane End Road (the road that links to the stadium's road). I hope that makes sense? If the M40 is trouble-free, I'd go down to Junction 4, that way you'll miss the first set of roadworks. However, the M40 has been an accident hotspot of late so judge when you get closer to the area. 

Hope everyone has a safe journey down

Thanks for the useful info, much appreciated. I’ve got a ticket in your lovely looking car park but I’ve heard it’s a nightmare to get away at the end. Is it worth it, or am I better off parking somewhere else and walking down?

Cash for young player, although he could very easily get the main award, so it’s between Nelson and Collo for me. Got to be Nels for consistency and being rock solid virtually all season.

Collo has put in a hell of a shift tonight. 👏 

Got to get Collo off and fresh legs on.

Wildsmith should have saved that.

What the hell’s happened to the back end of that fox??

Highly recommend Huis in southsea # no 1 restaurant in Portsmouth on trip advisor, lots of choice for Belgium beers and the food is really good.

I went there before the game last year. Lovely mussels and a couple of Gulden Draak set me up nicely.

Bloody hell David, that’s so tough mate. Thinking of you and Leanne and sending love.

I’m going to see Everything Everything in Nottingham on Thursday and London on Friday.

How has Adams missed that???

So much better last 10 minutes.

Shocking game all round so far!
