I think any non singers in the south stand should be made to endure the delights of the north stand.

that should pretty much guarantee whole hearted singing from start to finish

I think the atmosphere has been draining out of the stadium for a number of years since we left Wilderspool. Results are partly to blame but the fact is that our stadium layout does not help matters. The atmosphere at the moment is away from life.

anyone know the capacities of the south and west stands?

The stadium layout is the problem, surely some more thought should have gone into the planning.

Er no, I think at the time any new stadium was good enough.

Even one built out of lego in dallam would have done.

i agree moving behind the sticks is a good idea

I disagree. If you wanna do it right only the best will do.

Looking at some of the new grounds that have been built since (Leigh Sporting City and Doncaster's Keepmoat Stadium) the Halliwell Jones Stadium already looks dated.

Face it, we knocked it up on the cheap, no thought went into where best the home crowd should be seated/standing and the result is a pretty poor atmosphere.

you leave us alone in the west, although you probably can't hear us we have a good sing song.. only down side keith the beef is stood behind us!

Try a cowbell as well as drums, seemed to work in Melbourne

Simple answer is home fans in west stand behind the sticks. Yes and divide the south into two sections. I think it is a crowd control issue that is stopping that and therefore will neve happen though.

I always stand in the West by the way.

York 79

Simple answer is move all home games to a friday night, miles better atmosphere under the floodlights

We need some acoustic lagging in the away end to try and silence the away supporters .That stand is just acting as an amplifier and for me the noise they appear to make at present is totally out of proportion with their numbers.

why not give out song sheets to people so we all no what to sing

i do agree with Mark pre match meet up is the way forward you have two pubs outside the ground and on match days you want to hear the fans bellowing out the chants i think it would gee up thye north satnders

lets move back to wilderspool.
