Quote: christopher "Yes I think it was right to put seats in the southstand, the alternative would have been a smaller stand with a poorer concourse and poorer facilities, the size of the stand meant it needed two tiers.
Even if they had made it all stranding modern building regs would have meant it wouldn’t have been like the old southstand anyway.
I sit in the East stand but have spent many games in the old southstand, I thought it was a pretty horrible place to watch RL from and it was a crumbling dump.'"
Along with a poor team the South Stand not being all standing has killed the atmosphere , no reason for it to be smaller with less facilities if the seats were not there . The old South Stand was great to watch from , hence the reason why it was always packed when there was space elsewhere in the ground
