to answer your question yes ive been rained on in the rre usualy sat there during the great escape season (i was one of the four who got the wave started at 4-1 )apart from one memorable game where i had to sit in the chaddy (a certain mr adams making scmicael look silly and i dont meeen the dog of corrie )yes you get a godd view but you get the sun in your eyes wind in your face & back of the seat infront in ya shins .the accoustics are good having banter over the fence with the away fans can be fun but it still does not have that same attmosphere as the chaddy the chaddy when full and on song eg leeds & hudds this season is a spine tingling place to be the rre is just a noisy stand know where i will be when the chaddy gets its new roof !
i currently sit right hand side of the chdddy end of row E edge of the chior accross the isle from leevezy & co which can be as entertaining as the game some times !
