Excellent what? Another round of empty promises more like!

The South Stand will NEVER be the Shed, the 'shared stadium' still sticks in the craw, the pricing policy is too complex and expensive.

There are many supporters who have been completely disenfranchised with the events of the last two years and these vacuous statements show no sign of luring them back.

..............and yes, I am one of those disillusioned fans of yesteryear, but typical of many who no longer attend and therefore a yardstick of a level of inclination to return. NOT EVEN CLOSE!

As I don't use Twitter and Facebook I wasn't able to respond but I do hope the youngsters and their families are targetted.
As it may prove the club is adept at 'pinching' things from Castleford I quite like this idea

They do have a backrest:

I might be wrong, but I'm sure I've heard of some stadiums in Germany having just normal seating areas, but where standing is expected - maybe 12 people for every 10 seats. Can see a health and safety issue if they had it over here though, the lock-away seats in the picture above would be the best.

No, safe standing in Germany is either the rail seats as shown above, or controlled terraces split into smaller, all-ticket sections in order to be better monitored and controlled. Where they do have 'normal' seats, these are used purely as seated areas.

Ahh I see

. I dunno where I heard that, dodgy Wikipedia article maybe.

I'd much rather stand than sit, but the view from the South Stand is pretty dire. Having the rail seats would be a great solution. Most Salford fans seem to want to stand along the side a la the Shed, but then the seats can be put back for when Sale play or whatever.
