Title: Best seats at Craven Cottage?
Post by: Jack Fulham on July 27, 2012, 05:28:50 PM
Where is the best place to sit in Craven Cottage? I've been in block g in Johnny Haynes ever since I started going to Craven Cottage but occasionally go in Hammy End or Putney End on cup matches if I forget to get my seat. Got to say I've often preferred it behind the goal as long as I am quite high up and in the middleish.

Personally I like the Johnny Haynes stand where the Media sit as you get a good view of the entire ground but my Season Ticket is at the back of the Hammersmith End H5 in the middle it's a great atmosphere but it depends if you like some of the morons there.

I like to be side on and The Riverside has an unobstructed view. I'm about 10 rows back so I'm really close to the action.

I doubt there's a better view from any League ground.

only issue with JH stand is they have posts all along of the stand.

Right at the back of H5.

Most goals are celebrated like cup final ones, and there's non-stop singing.

Back of the hammersmith end is great, but i think the best view comes from the middle of the riverside

I liked my view in P2 but moved to get two seats together, hope view will be ok there. Bit worried about sitting in front of where the steward stands though

I've sat in all 4 stands and reckon Tony and Adam have it right. THe Riverside Stand really does offer the best view.

Me? I prefer to watch from towards the back of H5. Good view and good atmosphere.

I liked your brothers seats Dean. As you know I REALLY liked the view of the river. Between the singing, proximity to the field, central location in the HE, and the view. They were fantastic. I hope the new stand doesn't obstruct that view.

The "Johnny Haynes Stand" for me...the banter in that Stand is legendary...it harks back to the old Enclosure times...

Back of "G" block...

They'll be at the top of the new riverside stand! The back is glass and looks onto the river - the front overlooks the whole pitch and not only that but you can see over the johnny haynes stand and to the london skyline. Pretty spectacular viewing I'd have thought.

H5 close to the back as possible, all day long

I have sat and had a ST in all four stands over the years and I think by far the best 'view' was when I was a riversider and sat just in front of the directors seats. Note I say view and not atmosphere, that would be the back of block H in the JH stand.

I think the best atmosphere for me is at away matches, where we're a band of brothers on the road supporting the team we love

He'll be fine. He took part in the home made muffin taste test last year so he can be a real risk taker. I must drag you over to meet The Enclave on the 18th. Might be sausage rolls ..........

I have loved my seat in H block JH stand. Right above the wall which divides the lower tier seats (i.e. the Enclosure of old) from the wooden stuff. Great leg room, and a nice wooden ledge to lean on, put your snacks on, etc. etc.

We have taken a risk for next season by moving with some friends to the Hammy End. Can't remember the block, but it is pretty central towards the back.

West Brom will be my first match, traveling down from Edinburgh to watch the game. Looking at seats at the back of the Hammersmith End, H4 WW I think? Not bought them yet but I'm definitely going. Thoughts? Opinions? Decent banter? I'm bringing my mate who supports AFC Wimbledon, hopefully this will convert him over!

I must say for views the Riverside, quite excited with the new stand, the increased elevation could be really special for viewing!
