Agree on the North Stand, it was my reserve plan had I not got the seats in the block I wanted to be in. Views are actually better than South Stand and at the same price as South Stand too, some even middle tier are cheaper. My reservations however were only two blocks in each tier you could buy and remain in for cup games, now don't think this is an issues for FA Cup, League Cup and Europa League but for Champions League you run the risk of not securing a ticket, or you might be able to snag one but the possibility of it being a "cheap" *clears throat whilst saying that isn't a guarantee.South Stand pretty much sold out apart from the 1882 seats. It's going to be immense. I'm still quite surprised at the lack of take-up in the North Stand. The views are quality and it's close to the away fans. Could become a hub for new season ticket holders in the final phase. Be amazing if we ended up with two noisy home ends. COYS.
The final thing and this is total speculation but a lot of the North Stand is subject to "future fit out", leaving me with the doubt that, the middle tier especially, at some point in the future some seats will turn into Premium Seating with the prices to reflect, there is also a VIP entrance that has been designated in the North Stand.
