Questions about matchdays

TheAlmightyFloater · March 18, 2015

As a result of a rather late Christmas present, it seems I'll be descending from the northern land of whiskey and political resentment to watch the game against Burnley (April 18th).

It's a fairly expensive trip and because of that it's not a trip I can make as often as I'd like, so I have a couple of questions.

1) What's the Top Balcony like? I think the seats are fairly near the front of a middle-ish section. I've only ever been in the Main Stand before and wondered what the seating/view is like?

2) As the tickets were a present, I didn't see the transaction process but the website says the match could be rescheduled as a result of the Europa League. Would my tickets still be eligible for the rescheduled match or would the tickets be refunded?

If someone could lend a helping hand here, it would be much appreciated.

Top Balcony is absolutely full of, you guessed it, wools.

Make sure you stop by for a drink in the Lisbon

Never sat in the TB because when I've asked people about it they've said it's angled like a death slide and is freezing.

Everything that Layne said plus it's like watching a subbuteo match the players look so small.

The top balcony is cold and steep, but you get a ride on an escalator which is nice.
You can see (some of) Anfield from there too, so you have something to direct your venom at.

Would say upper bullens is a good mix of views without dying from exposure.

1) Top balcony is a cracking view, but its VERY high and very scary if your a lil pussyole bish when it comes to heights like me, ive only sat there once, in a league cup game versus Arsenal, I recall us scoring 3 goals and I didnt move from my seat once

2) The ticket is for the game, no matter what date its played

...I always think the top balcony is like watching a subutteo game, I also think it's a bit steep. I don't like it but that's just my view. Best view is in Park End Stand for me.

I think I lied, we have never scored 3 goals versus Arsenal in a League Cup game at home, must have been a league game, weird.

There's usually 3-4 deaths per game in the Top Balcony. The best advice I can give is plan for it the same way you would Everest.

You're lucky it's in April, as they close it off for the winter months.
