Another "Restricted View" question

[dav3j]

Having endured the frustration of the online ticketing system yet again, I've just about managed to get three seats for the scum game in the East Stand, Block 25.

Unfortunately, while clicking that I accepted that these may be restricted view, I didn't realise quite how "restricted view" these would be. I fully appreciate that this normally means you'll have a limited if not entirely blocked view of one of the goals. However, upon closer inspection, these seats (Row 13, seats 45-47) are the three immediately behind the massive pillar at the North End of the stand. I'm struggling to see how we'll get to see anything from here. Found the following picture online (admittedly this looks like the equivalent at the other end of the East Stand):

Just how little of the game are we going to get to see?

Obviously it's a pain, but you'll be fine. Just swerve your body left or right when the ball goes behind the pole.

Thinking the two either side might be alright but the one in the middle is going to have a tough time of it. Are the stewards any more unforgiving than normal if you try standing immediately to the side of the pillar in those gaps?

It's cheaper to have a bit of plastic surgery, something like this: -

I was at the seat at the end and pretty much couldn't see 20 percent of the first half when we were attacking but the second half view was great. However the people sitting where you are, were having a better view of either half then me. Because you are closer to the pole it will be easier to lean but gets annoying for the guy at the end

I never sit in east. 60 quid to have a pole obstructing your view.

Best tip for a shit seat in the east lower is to go and stand behind the seats at the top of the tier. Just wait till 10 mins in then move. You need to have the look of casual disdain as you walk past the stewards.

I think of Ade. That seems to work.

To be fair, it obstructs not a huge amount of the pitch, but I wouldn't be happy with that in fount of me!

IMO, as someone said, move side to side, and if you can, step forward into the gap on the right hand side of the pole where the seat is missing when the action is near the goal (as everyone will stand then anyway) and get a better view.
