Quote: scosha "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.

Quote: Andy Gilder "Because Warrington didn't lose 1,300 seats from one side of the ground that they had to replace.

In fact I'd hazard a guess that the HJ has more seats than Wilderspool used to, given the main stand there had terracing in front of it.

And there still is a terrace in the South Stand. It's just about 20% smaller than the existing one. So what's the problem again?'"


This. Fact is we have an aging population and people are more used to sitting at sports now. SS and ground as a whole needs to move with the times.

Also RL prides itself on being a family game and as a parent young kids need seats...when I started I sat on the wall at the front of the ss for 2-3 years. That's not something the club could allow or plan for in a new stand.

Who are these people, bloody fools if you ask me. it won't ruin the atmosphere at all IMO by having seating in the Southstand, plus don't protest in my name.

The atmosphere at the all-seated Old Trafford has always seemed to me pretty good, despite the high roofs.
There will be enough objections to these proposals from outside the club without its so-called supporters trying to undermine it as well.

Idiots, they say they have not seen any positive comments well they clearly have not looked very hard.

the plans look great. Its worth watching the video as it gives a better idea of the layout. There should be more standing capacity. The only thing they have to get right is the acoustics so the atmosphere remains or even gets better

Odsal has never been the same since the halycon day of 1954 icon_smile.gif ...And Headingley has never been the same since the teams stopped entering the field of play down the slope at the scoreboard end.

Nostalgia has a lot to do with these protests....I confess it will be a sad day for me when the South Stand is demolished as we know it. However nostalia and tradition is not a logical reason for not changing things...it never is.

To me the new proposal looks hugely rational and logical with every effort made to preserve the atmosphere generated by the standing spectators (people will soon find their new regular spot), but should the West Stand not be a higher priority? That is the greater travesty imposed on paying spectators IMO. posting.php?mode=reply&f=17&t=591474#

remember widnes players being snowballed by the eastern terrace after being sent off and trudging up that slope. Think it was sorenson (it usually was) Those memories are part of our history and heritage but the world moves on and the new redevelopped headingley will be great

Ha! Yes I remember that. Happy days. Those were the days when myself, my brother and late dad used to have "our" regular spot midway along the the South Stand. There was a group of women, who stood down to the right of us, who could always be reliably depended on for bringing those glorious warming spirit hip flasks to share. How we used to perversely use to 'hate' the big games when we had to set off earlier to secure "our" spots and then have to endure the reduced comfort of reasonable space around you.
Worse...losing your spot altogether to some damn alien opposition supporter(s). The Hull lot were usually the worst for this 'crime'.

Memories memories....but as the deaths of David Bowie and now Terry Wogan (both of whom I have spent my whole life growing up with) have highlighted, time marches inexorably onwards. Even Kevin Dick is a very old man now icon_sad.gif

I don't understand why we would need the two badges on the New North stand, surely two extra boxes would be better as they would at least generate some income. This is the only question I have over them, everything else looks great
