its important we get this nailed on as i fear we might get spread around the stadium too thinly which may effect the atmosphere

another factor in making the deciton is the big screen, i contacted the stadium management about this issue and i got this reply

"Re… it will also be visible from East and South but with a less direct sight line naturally."

last thing we want is another issued we had in the shed when 90% of our support COULDNT SEE THE SCREEN when sky was there

somthing to ponder...

Your right it needs to be sorted. The South is designated as away with a max of 1000 home allocated. The North that gets all the bad weather (moaning b')is for the shedheads. You couldn't make this up, if it was Cadbury's we'd all be up to our ears in chocolate.

Folks, my grade B Geography 'O' Level attained back in 1976 may be of no use here or not even relevant, but I've convinced myself that the big stand is the most Northerly, so shouldn't that be known as the North Stand ??

Jim, I think you are using Liverpool Road A57 as your reference for North, it isn't it runs SW. If in doubt use the application form which has the main stand as West. The question still remains where are the shed heads going? North or South?

I think you will find when we are half way through the season when were in the bottom 3 and relying on away support to bolster our attendances we might just fill half the main stand.and have the odd die hard red scattered around the poxy standing areas.,with the 2500 diehards clapping the chairman saying

Thankyou for everything mr chairman
Thankyou for being in the bottom 3 again mr chairman
Thankyou for the blue seats mr chairman
Thankyou for selling our soul mr chairman
Thankyou for making us tenants mr chairman
Thankyou for another 25 years of pure 5hit under you mr chairman


Wake up people were doomed with this man in charge.

Me too, my Geography 'O' Level came slightly later (1987). I based my point of reference as the ship canal and the north and south bound traffic on the M60. If it is indeed facing west I stand corrected, confused but corrected.

Ok, I've had another look at all the maps and info, and have determined the following.
I'm now off for a lie down.

Good stuff JJ

OK, so we have arrived at a conclusion to the original question, if you want to stand in the official Reds end you stand in the North. Hallelujah.

p.s. unless of course you want to avoid the prevailing wind/rain or perhaps a bit of banter with the away support.

West side init!

Red or blue ?

So it's a case of a[size.[/sizerse and elbow, then?

My £50 season ticket states i can go anywhere, stand or sit, but at the Willows the North stand was allocated as away end and the Club end (south stand ) was where we stood behind the sticks, so the Karma will still be with us.
