Quote: William Eve "The answer to the OP's question is neither.
Any reliable compass would indicate...
1) The South Stand is the South by West (SbW) Stand.
2) The North Stand is the North by East (NbE) Stand.
3) The Western Terrace is the West by North (WbN) Terrace.
4) The Carnegie Stand is East by South (EbS)
Anyone stood watching the game in the South by West Stand would have to turn 11.25 degrees west in order to be stood south and be north facing.
I might occupy the SbW Stand at Headingley on the 8th of November to get a much better view of SBW.'"
This was precisely the sort of reply I was looking for - isn't it great when we have wonderful informative replies like this that really add to the discussion.
Also, a quick note for those at the latter end of the thread, let's keep this on topic, please.
