We'll see how many Salford fans are sat down on Sunday then.'"


I'm disputing it, The Willows is far from a dump.

Not that far though, I'd say a couple of miles at most.

Quote: Marsdengiant "Given the facilities the Galpharm ticket prices are very competitive.'"


I don't go to a game to see the facilities, I go to watch the rugby.

And I think you'll find the vast majority of Salford fans are more than happy to stand up to watch the game. We don't all view being confined to an uncomfortable plastic seat as being a superior way of viewing the match.

I too go to see the game rather than the facilities. However good facilities do make it a better experience. Poor facilities undermine things.

I know the seats at the Willows are uncomfortable. However my seat at the Galpharm is comfortable. The leg room is good and the view is unrestricted.

Please provide the link showing what the vast majority of Salford fans want. It should be an interesting read.

If the weather is bad on Sunday you can always pop outside at half time and stand around getting wet, If that is important to you.

Quote: Marsdengiant "However good facilities do make it a better experience. Poor facilities undermine things.'"


Do they? Really? Funny, I've never EVER thought at the Willows, Knowsley Road or any National League grounds that we've been to that my experience had been undermined or made to be less enjoyable because of the facilities around me. Jesus, I've watched many sporting events stood on a glorified park pitch and never felt like it had lessened my experience.

It's what happens on the pitch that's important. Last year we beat Leigh at Hilton Park and got p*ss wet through in the process. I couldn't see the last twenty minutes because I couldn't keep my glasses clear. However, the atmosphere, the result and the chaotic celebrations for the tries meant that, in the pub afterwards, people were saying it was one of the most enjoyable away games they'd ever been to.

Quote: Marsdengiant "I know the seats at the Willows are uncomfortable. However my seat at the Galpharm is comfortable. The leg room is good and the view is unrestricted.'"


Funny, on the few occasions I've actually sat in a seat at the Galpharm I've struggled slightly with leg room and had a numb ar*e after about twenty minutes. At the Willows I can stand up, move around without disrupting those around me and, believe it or not, see the full pitch.

Quote: Marsdengiant "Please provide the link showing what the vast majority of Salford fans want. It should be an interesting read.'"


Funnily enough, it's never really been discussed on here. However, when the discussions first came up about our new stadium the main thing that most people came back to was wanting a standing area at the new ground. Also, see the point I made above about the Leigh game.

Quote: Marsdengiant "If the weather is bad on Sunday you can always pop outside at half time and stand around getting wet, If that is important to you.'"


That's not the point people are making. Of course, if there's a choice between standing under cover and standing out in the rain, you'll move under cover. That's a given. But to say a shiny plastic stadium enhances your enjoyment of the day ahead of what happens out on the pitch? Ridiculous.

icon_eek.gif Cant for the life of me work out how you come to that conclusion?

Anyway no matter, the seats at your place are more uncomfortable pal as everytime I have been there I have left with severley bruised shins from them obstructing my standing position!

Wow. I have touched a nerve. So you have no evidence that you reflect the views of ' the vast majority'. No surprise there.

I know that sitting under cover with an unrestricted view seems to bother some people. Tough.

The guy who claimed we were charging our own supporters £10 and you £16.50 + lied and the guy who wanted to compare our matchday costs with your ST costs looked foolish.

Your need to first misrepresent my comments and then challenge your version is rather dreary. probably expecting you to be coherent is too much.

Quote: Marsdengiant "Having that every week in seats under cover and with an unrestricted view is excellent. Well done Salford.'"


The family stand at Salford is the seating area behind the posts which is undercover and has an unrestricted view. icon_surprised.gifops:

When did you last sit in a seat at the Willows?Our seats in the main stand are as good if not better than many other grounds and the Family Stand has 1200 seats that do not cost any extra to sit down with probably the best view of a rugby match anywhere.

Please provide the link showing what the vast majority of Salford fans want. It should be an interesting read.

During the initial discussions over the proposed new stadium and at the public enquiry itself the supporters case was put forward and the club agreed to it, that there would be a standing area of 3000/4000 capacity for the fans who like to stand up.

Quote: Marsdengiant "probably expecting you to be coherent is too much.


Well if you don't see that as a coherent reply then I'd love to know what constitutes one. Would you have preferred it if I'd just posted "f*ck off you sheep sh*gging c*nt"?

The comment about the ten pound ticket was daft and should have been dropped by you long ago. The fact is that you've continued to take the argument on and, when challenged about part of your post, have come back with no real argument other than "oh, you can't prove that part, therefore you're wrong."

Our new stadium was planned with a standing section. A large section of our away support stands up at away games, whether there's a choice or we are in an all seater stadium. The vast majority of our supporters choose to stand at the Willows when there's plenty of empty seats in the covered family stand seating and the covered main stand seating.

If that's not coherent enough for you to understand, then I apologise. But short of ramming the point home by posting the same thing over and over, which would get rather boring (a bit like your sitting under cover with an unrestricted view nonsense, which sparked this debate in the first place) and nobody wants that, now, do they?
