Top tier at Wembley?

I don't think that's too bad. You get a decent overview of the pitch, and I reckon you'd be able to make out things fairly well, especially with the angle. Plus I'd imagine it would be ace looking down over absolutely everybody else in a packed full stadium.
 
not been to the new wembley, the old one sucked if you were remotely far up though. New one didn't learn the first seats really have to start right by the pitch those extra 5 metre's just push the furthest seats to an uncomftably bad position. Millienium stadium was pretty good, as is the emirates and several other stadiums I've been to.

Only seats worse than at the back of old wembley were those nosebleed seats at the Nou camp, it was great to see Barca vs Santos in a friendly way back when Kluviert was there, but it was more like watching two teams of ants playing footie, than people :p I knew those seats were cheap for a reason :p

If you have to be miles away, mid pitch isn't so bad as you at least see the detail of most tackles and things, the worst is being right at the back at either end or even right up in the corner, you can't really tell what happens other side of the pitch, can't see if shots are close or miles away, if a tackle was good or a foul, if someone dived or was tripped, etc, etc.
 
I sat at the back of Tier 5 for the Switzerland match, to be honest the view isn't the greatest from that far away and as the lifts weren't working it took an age to climb up there. No chance of working out who the players are unless they are very distinctive or judged on their position.

Upper Tier of Emirates is much better (as you might expect from a smaller stadium!)

Bit early in the season for the FA Vase though innit?

I was sat at the top for the Championship Play-Off final. Actually thought the view was pretty damn good. It was the cheapest ticket, but if I had the money for a more expensive one, I think after that, I would go for the cheapest again. Really liked my view.

Nah, England v's Croatia on Sept 9th, the tickets went on sale today. I was at the Ukraine game and paid top dollar for my tickets and was on the very last row of the lower tier, under the lip of the middle tier so kind of indoors. It was a poor seat.

So this time I'm getting an all over view, which I can't believe will be worse that the last. Besides whenever I go to Wembley it always feels as though it's smaller than it should be, plus they have the big screens showing replays of key moments.

It'll be my third game in five days following away games at the might of Vauxhall Motors and Hyde United on the saturday and monday ;)

think when you get massive you have to go tier's and overlapping so the far up people aren't also way way back, thats what sucked at old wembley and by the looks of it, new wembley. Millenium stadium feels very close, I think for LDV final for brentford a while back now we were the highest tier, behind the goal, yet the view was fine and could see both ends of the pitch really really well. That was a few years after last visit to old wembley and it crapped all over it tbh.

Emirates being any bigger would be an issue but even right up the back it seems decent, anywhere bottom tier/1st half of top tier is pretty much a great view anywhere in the stadium, been all over it now. Highbury was so small everywhere was decent, the worst part was being at the back of the bottom tiers, you couldn't see most of the other stands, but the pitch view was fine, felt almost claustraphobic stuck under there, was weird.

beyond really Utd/Arsenal sized stadiums you almost always end up with a huge thing miles away from the pitch, like loads of italian pitches with huge space between the fans and the pitch. Though with the crap they throw on pitches and violence in the stands players probably like the distance there.
 
It was great for me at the FA Cup final.

I hated the Millenium stadium. Been there 3 times, all in different parts, and IMO the new Wembley is far better. I can't see what peoples problem is with the view from the top of Wembley? I'd even go to Old Trafford rather than going to the Millenium again.
