Reds you have a lovely new ground and as a Leyther I am looking forward to coming next week. May even become a casual visitor when we are not playing if I can park safely for free. You are going to have a bit of a bumpy first couple of seasons at the new place just like we have but all I can say is it will be more than worth it. Our place is only just starting to feel like home and the company who run the stadium are just starting to reallise that they need to talk to our club as equals for everything to work.
Both parties won't be use to this . The new management team for the stadium and you not being used to just being tenants. All I would say is never let it become an us and them situation as has been reported was happening at Leigh.
It has taken the near demise of our club for the LSV Co to sit up and listen.
Chins up Reds and good luck for this season.

If football hospitality is anything to go by you rent you box for £x per season and then pay for all your meals and drinks on top.

My first impression of the stadium in the main is very positive but I feel the reception/ hospitality areas are very bland and need some large wall pictures to brighten it up. A few people I spoke to said they preferred the feel of the Willows hospitality more than the greyscale contemporary look of the new place. Due to it's high ceiling, shear size and amount of glass I thought the large function room felt like an airport terminal without the gate numbers. Another recommendation would be some sofa's near the two bar areas.

I have to disagree the hospitally looks modern and clean,Sharp and spacious rather than the willows that looked dated, old school, like it was stuck in the 70/80s all cuddled up
We want to attract investors and new fans alike then this is the way to go.

That's exactly what happened

I don't disagree with what you are saying I was just saying what some were saying to me. I can understand what they meant and in my opinion some finishing touches like pictures and sofa's would help break up the blandness. Perhaps they already have these things planned but they weren't ready for the 27th.

Think someone needs to look at installing better sticks as despite there being very little wind yesterday they were all over the place, they looked not to be a solid construction.
Was very impressed inside in general and thought that the security staff seemed genuinely helpful, but do think the scoreboard needs to be much bigger.

A friend pointed something out that when say Warrington, Wigan or any of the other big teams come the North stand is not going to be anywhere near big enough for them, where will the balance of the supports go??

The same could be said of the main floodlights.......!!

No I disagree the floodlights look good, think you mean when there was the issue with them going out, that was a genuine hiccuough and exactly why they have these ramp up games in the first place.

I thought it was great! You can see they will add extra tiers to the other stands if they extend it! With regards to the scoreboard, they are putting a screen in the corner that will show replays so presume that will also show the score!

Got the bus from the willows, great till we got to the traffic lights at the Unicorn pub, took about 20 minutes if not longer, to get past the motorway roundabout, once past it was smooth to the ground.
The problem if we get big gates, traffic coming of the motorway will cause a jam on Liverpool road, possibly need traffic lights at the roundabout
Was sat in the west stand got cold and moved to the south stand out of the wind. stood at the back but not high enough. good banter in there. Everything O.K except for the performance on the field, same old same.
See the Trialists were Vievers and Howath, but no better than what we already have, should be signing better than what we have.
I have a season ticket and have bought a ticket for the Wigan game but I think I'll miss the Halifax game

Are they? I know that's where the screen will go for Sky games, but I didn't know there was going to be a permanent screen.

Yeah apparently so, think traffic situation will improve once that area gets done up. Fingers crossed. Was delighted on my way out to see a Leigh fan in a 4x4 try and take a short cut and que jump only to get stuck in a mound of dirt. Brilliant those 4x4's aren't they. Nothing like karma!

Each terrace is supposed to hold 2500. I'm not convinced. They look about half the size of the stand that we usually go in at Warrington.

We were discussing this at the game yesterday and I can't see either terrace holding much more than 2,000. I'd fully expect Wigan/Saints/Warrington to get half of the East Stand as well to take it up to a c4,000 allocation, which is quite possible for their first visit etc.

What is the capacity of the terrace at LSV?

Also, what's the concourse like in our North Stand? Is it a single open concourse at that end (and were they stopping you lot from standing on teh back step too?)?
