It would be interesting to see how many of the people who said Globe sit in the main stand and how many of the ones that said Christie sit in the MBW?

Good point, lad (though you wouldn't see much if you SAT in the MBW! ).

I go in the main stand (whether I'm doing Bay Radio or not) because, for me, the great new facilities there are the main reason we moved and the main reason I got excited by the prospect of a new ground. So yes, for me it's no contest but I can understand why others may think differently.

Am I right in thinking at Christie you went in the north stand though? Don't get me wrong, I think the facilities are great and use the bar both before and after the game.

I just feel the MBW could have been higher to provide a better view, the season ticket is bought now though so I'm stuck there

Great point Sammy H.
Carwash I was, now North Terrace.
Now feels very claustrophobic. No room to drift along the touchline amongst friends and chat, too much of - 'you can't stand there Sir.' The freedom of movement has gone.
I used to go to Christie not only to watch the footy but to mingle with the huge group of friends I only used to see at the football to chat and have a laugh with on the Carwash. We are so condensed now on the terrace that you pretty much end up next to the person you arrive with on the terrace for the duration of the match. The massive amount of viewing space the new turnstiles take up has a lot to do with this problem, where as we had the full length of the pitch to settle down the touchline, and then mingle behind, we are now confined behind barriers - (rather cramped) taking up two thirds of the pitch. Such a massive waste of viewing space.
That is the reason I prefer the Carwash Terrace.

Overall it is the Globe, but whilst I'm actually watching the match then it would be Christie; the MBW has nothing on the North Stand.

North Stand > MBW

Globe everywhere else > Christie Park everywhere else

Cant simpliify my opinion any further than that.

Christie Park
