I can see that some, perhaps the majority, will welcome the idea. I guess there's no harm in giving it a go.

JGR; I disagree that the South Stand isn't a decent viewing spot. For me, you can't beat the thrill of seeing a Salford player sticking the ball over the try line right in front of you; pumping their chests and getting the South Stand bouncing. I can't imagine being a player celebrating a try in front of a large, empty stand. It just wouldn't feel right.

I suppose it's down to personal preference and the club aren't going to please everyone all (any?!) of the time.

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.
