Lets face it, there is absolutely no atmosphere in the South Stand, none, zilch, nada.

I see the closure of the South Stand as a real chance to recreate something like the atmosphere that was generated from The Shed. A prime viewing spot for starters (unlike the South where you cant see what's happening anywhere beyond the 20m line) will allow fans to react to most incidents during a game, there will also be more supporters in a concentrated space than there has been since the AJ Bell opened.

Standing wont be an issue, as long as you're not stood on the front row and are sensible about it. If you want to stand, make your towards the back rows of the stand. Those who want to sing, congregate as close to the half-way line as possible and lets see what happens.

Yeah we know, we've seen you

That's too long for one of my skirts lad.

More like it..

You've met the ex wife then.

Fair play to the club on this. A lot of people have said that this should have always been trialled so given it is only for 3 games to gauge how well it goes in a stand that otherwise would not be open I think can't harm. I am a south stander and find the view as JGR says to be pretty poor (and that's from right at the back!). Yes some will not like it and understand some prefer the end but surely this is worth giving a go is it not to see if it does have a positive impact on not only atmosphere but also crowd numbers.

As long as the club can get an agreement with the SMG and G4 to allow 1 person to stand to each chair then safety must be covered. We do similar do we not at away grounds such as Hudds and Widnes with no issue so why not at the AG Bell. It must though be pointed out it is standing only and no seating and if someone does choose to try and sit, then cannot complain with a poor view.

For me no harm in trying this at all.
