You still get a good view of the goings on even from where appears to to be "up in the gods". My youngest when she was 7 and sat in the old family stand, liked getting the binoculars out of the bag and spying on the bench "ooh x looks like he is coming on" - bloke sat next to me loved getting the inside info.
As a silly aside Take her to West Ham on the weekend, any seat at SMS will seem a million pounds better than any seat in that place afterwards.
