Introduction

Why Row Z?

Row Z is the proverbial back row of the stand (although since the advent of mega sports stadia and the incarnation of row AA this has generally ceased to be):

·         It’s where the accurate views on the display being witnessed are formed and instantly discussed by the gurus of the faction.
·         It has a better view than Row A, because at the front you are too close to the action, but obviously it is not as panoramic and glamorous as the boxes that sit on the tier above row Z but up there you lose your view of the match in aimless corporate chatter.
·         It’s the proverbial place where all defenders, irrespective of their “libero” ambitions, are instructed to pass the ball to by nervous fans in the dying seconds. Thus al fans see Row Z as a haven from a potential late calamity.
·         It’s below the press box so your view is not hindered by a paymaster with a different agenda than yours.

And finally,

·         it’s near the exit, which is very handy for access to not only to an easy retreat after a poor performance but also the pies, bars and toilets which are all needed to oil the mind in the summing-up of the passage of play.
