Having "suffered" at the Indoor trial seats and spacing that would make Ryanair blush, I can only hope the Leeds Arena is better. My Legs and back have only just recovered from the "crush" that is Sheffield. Are Other's better than Sheffield???

I've never been in a more cramped seat than Sheffield


Edit:
I don't consider myself 'tall' either. I'm 5'10''...Taurus, GSOH, looking for female to share country walks ....Sorry, wrong web-site.

Me too, I am only five eight and even I got cramp, my son who I was with (he is five ten or eleven, not sure) was in agony, and to make things worse had a bunch of noisy ignorant sods behind us knocking seats and one of them (a child who was not told any different by parents) actually put their feet on back of my sons seat, takes the edge off of it a little doesn't it ?
ps who can win world trials in 2018 I reckon Bou might be beatable by then ?

I am 6ft 1 and son nearly 6ft but we didnt complain...not saying it was spacious but people our size see it as the normal thing.

Could you tell me your seat numbers so I can book them next year?

Totally agree with most of the comments about the seats. 4 of us £145. Block 110 we measured at 7 inch actual knee room. All around were complaining. Staff told us to complain. This was after we had been told off for standing in the aisle during the interval to stretch our legs!!! It was shame as the riding was excellent, although some of us probably wont go again due to the seating issues.

Unfortunately when the stewards won't let you stand up you can't. Mind try standing at a Premier League ground!!!

Im 6' 2" and don't find it that bad. I have been quite a few times in the past (not this year). Yes it's cramped and the seats are uncomfortable but most Ice Hockey arenas are like that. It just goes with the teritory. Everyone has a right to complain but they can't do anything about it. It's not like they can move the seats for next year and give everyone more leg space or give you your money back.

Like i said it's what you get with an Ice Hockey arena. They are all the same, except maybe ones in America.

The only way round it would be to ring the box office next year and ask sepcifically for seats with leg room.

Hopefully the Leeds Arena will have better seating when it opens. Might be worth Neil and Martin having a look????

[HAM2]

Some seats are much worse than others at Sheffield...but I'm still waiting for Neale's reply

Probably not. It may be too early for the Leeds Arena, I can see having two arena's competing for business would mean that Neil and Martin could be looking to see if the competition could being them benefits.

i was quite annoyed i wasnt able to go out for a cig during the trial.. even when i dispalyed a second ticket (friend dropped out) and explained i would uswe this to get back in they said they would refuse me entry. i feel, considering the tickets were £35 they had no right to refuse this upon me.
