The difference is there is a set capacity for each stand, and it's normally 3/4s full before you get walk ups. They know how many they can let in on the turnstyles so if you don't go through them then you can't get in the southstand without a ticket. Like I said, it's the same for Leeds fans as well as away fans.

There is a difference and it concerns safety when you have areas of a stadium that often get close to capacity in them, especially standing areas which are more difficult to control than seated areas.

So having bought your ticket or paid on a certain gate for a certain area of the ground you cannot then move to a different area, I'm sure you've come across this in other areas of life too.

As for "out of date", its not, it has a current safety certificate and the top rating from the RFL.

I see everybody has ignored the reasonable price bit. Headingley isn't the worst ground in SL- even though ive been in better in the championship-but for me it's the worst value for money for an away fan.before you start saying don't come then- I go to support my team regardless of facilities.

Its £20 to stand on three sides of the ground, games against Huddersfield are rarely all ticket (LOL) so you have a good choice of where to be, under cover or not under cover, thats no more expensive than most other SL grounds, or you can sit down under cover for just £3 more.

Admittedly it takes a bit of imagination to force yourself outside of the mindset that you HAVE to stand on the Western Terrace and that away supporters are treated differently to home supporters, but that is just rubbish, you have the same choice of where to be in the ground as every single other person who walks up to the gates.

If you need any more advice then please do not hesitate to ask, we have lots of visitors advice on a sticky thread (above).
