Best sections
The traditional home of the loudest support — book the lower tier here for the best atmosphere behind the goal.
The largest stand with the main hospitality and elevated central views; upper tiers are very high, so aim lower for proximity.
Behind the opposite goal and next to the away section; good value with a solid view of the play.
Insider tips
- The ground is a steep walk up from the city centre and Central Station, so allow extra time on the climb to the upper tiers, which are among the highest in the league.
- Upper-tier seats in the Milburn and Leazes stands are very elevated — if you want to feel close to the pitch, choose lower-tier blocks.
