There is a good view of the action, no matter where you sit.
However, people must be encouraged NOT to move during overs, as per spectator etiquette. The hospitality resource was woefully inadequate. While there seemed to be no queue for the bar for alcoholic drinks, it was impossible to get a hot drink without missing a substantial portion of the game. The air was chilly so there was a higher demand for hot drinks/food. My partner made 2 unsuccessful attempts to soly buy hot drinks so that he wouldn't miss too much of the match. The Greig's caf must organise their set up better, in order that

Cam see the game clearly no matter where you are sitting. Maybe more officials making sure nobody keeps seat hopping and more places to get a hot drink. But other wise very good

Went to watch Sussex Sharks take on Essex Eagles in a T20 evening game. Good night out.Great atmosphere throughout. Parking not great as right slap bang in Hove near the seafront. Bonus for me is my son lives 30 seconds from the ground!! So didn't effect me personally. Food and beer a bit pricey but that seems to come with the territory of professional sporting events.
35 a ticket well spent.
Sussex won by 6 wickets with a massive 6 to win the match!! Come on you Sharks!!!

First visit in 609 days to see cricket played. Well organised to cope with Covid restrictions. Plenty of stewards around giving advice and directions. Pavilion open and serving food and drink. Just like the old days!

We were in the Newbury cricket shop next door to the Sussex ground, we were served by a very helpful young man, who helped us pick the right batting gloves for our son.
