I think it'd work being unreserved if they placed it right

i.e. no obvious advantage being higher/lower/left/right in the area. It wouldn't work in Blocks D/E at the moment, as no-one would want to go to the front, imo - not to mention the rush to the left if their fans 'disrespected' us.

Modern German ones (Dortmund excluded) tend to be 1/2 or 2/3 up the main stand, so with a good view all round.
