I'm 1 of many family south stand season ticket holders, and I for one hope that they do open the North stand, why not close all or most of skircoat stand and use stewards on North stand, it is a smaller stand?
I think RL fans are the most friendly bunch there is, but if they do bring 1000 fans then craming all of us into the south stand will not create the family atmosphere the RL wish t portray, I know many families/seniors would feel intimidated standing amongst them and with the potential for trouble surely it makes sense to open North stand.
I went to the Cougars/Leigh game and they outnumbered the cougar fans, so that was 500+, and now they've actually won some games that figure will surely increase.
Its the opening of the new stand and I would feel that there would be a few fax fans that have not been for a while or even for 1st time and if both ends were open this would make for a better spectacle/atmosphere, fax should think long term and not make this an occasion to save money.
