Hi guys. It's been a while.

Hoping to get tickets for Newcastle, and want take my son for his first time. I normally go a bit higher to get a better view while I'm alone or with the wife. eg: Main stand 2.

I can get tickets to Main stand 2 GG or Family Enc 4, row B. (for my price range)

My son' 8yrs but small for his age as he takes after his mum.

What I'm after is your thoughts.
Can we see the other side of the pitch from the family enclosure? Which is my worry.

Dont go on first few rows of fam enclosure if you want to see other half of pitch, made that mistake with my lad once, front row, had to watch the tv screen everytime the ball went over other half, felt way more colder too in front row, avoided since.

Thanks Murf,

I have a drunken memory of the Paddock being the same. Long while ago.

Im in the top balcony which has great veiw but may not be ideal for your son. I remember my first game at 9 years of age sitting in the upper bullens, must have enjoyed it as I can still remember the match and latchfords 30th against chelsea. 6-0 let's hope he enjoys it as much. main stand has good veiws but watch out for those posts.

Thanks guys. I plumped for the main stand. Too worried about the curve of the pitch for the family enclosure.
