| Quote Worlds Apart="Worlds Apart"Those who think the atmopshere will be the same once the dwellers move in should try going to any one of our aways.
2/3rds of the fans sat down, never getting off their booty and rarely raising their voice. Left to the 100 or so who stand at the back to make up for it.
I think what's already been alluded to is spot on - you'll have families with screaming kids in the back who'll immediately demand the atmosphere get calmed down so as not to offend their little darlings.
I like going to the rugby and being able to call Silverwood a bent, inbred, sh*tforbrains thunderc*nt when he screws up a call.'"
I can't believe this.
Granny, when did you find out how to use the Internet?

| So the primary objection now is "I'll be near families and they won't want to hear me swearing my head off for 80 minutes"?
Oooh, good argument for the club denying itself some revenue that.

| It looks like the new proposals are going to give you all the best of both worlds and you should count yourself lucky that you've got the money to invest and bring the stadium up to modern day standards. At least you'll have the freedom of choice and will hopefully recreate the lively atmosphere within the standing section. Who knows, even the fans in the seats may well spend most of the match stood up and contributing to the noise!
Come to Huddersfield and enjoy the sterile atmosphere of a large empty stadium despite the efforts of a few passionate groups spread around who try (often falling on their a+se) to get the crowd going. Probably the reason why I enjoy our away games so much!
Before any of you current Loiners have a go, I feel that I'm fairly well qualified to comment having been a Leeds season ticket holder and ever-present in the Southstand for 10 years plus from the early 90's (both home and away).
I can appreciate the views and comments made by others regarding the antiquated state of the current South Stand, getting there earlier to ensure getting in and the definite deterioration of the general atmosphere and language etc over recent years which is possibly down to new so called fans drifting in due to the mixed fortunes (decline!?) of LUFC. This was the primary reason I'm now at Huddersfield - there was no way that I could subject my young son to such a volatile atmosphere when he took an interest in RL but opted for the comfort and safety of our own seat every week!
I'll always have fond memories of the old days in South Stand 3, but surely it's time your club moved on!

| I heard just as much, if not more swearing in the south stand when I was a kid than I do now. And definitely more homophobic, sexist and racist language. Though I use those terms in a very loose sense.

| Fair point Lionarmour87! No doubt you're fairly local - I'm not! I still wanted to be part of the RL culture and opted to watch my local club - at the time they definitely needed all the fans they could get but I now feel part of a revival and change of fortune for the Giants. I definitely can't be accused of being a pot chaser or glory hunter can I!!

No you can't and I'm not local any more ,but when I come home it's the North stand ,but I moved over when the crowds stated to increase I couldn't do with having to arrive early and of course the oafish element the band never bothered me though

Each to their own I guess.
However, if people are going to object I hope they at least have very clear sensible reason's (I like to swear a lot not being one) and that they have also prepared a valid alternative that meets their, the wider fan base, the clubs, the various local authorities, the rfl and local residents needs just like the club has tried to do with their proposal.
Though I suspect the protest group are just stating they don't want any seats in the south stand and have left it at that.

| I like the idea of standing and seating in the southstand. Those who want to stand can still stand, there is nothing for them to complain and protest about, still that won't stop some people.
