Where best to sit at the Oval?

September 1, 2006 1:23 PM

Going to the Oval to see a floodlit game (Surrey v Gloucester) later this month. As far as I can tell pretty much all the seating is unreserved. Which bit of which stand will give me the best view, and also the best access to crucial facilities such as the bar?

I don't know the ground, but...

I'd sit as high as possible and nearly inline with the wicket, maybe 20 degrees off. I thought being perpendicular to the pitch was rubbish when I went to see hampshire.

There should be bars all around the oval....4/5

just arrive a little early and check it out, and I doubt it's going to be packed, so you can always move, go for a little wander etc etc
