Just an observation on yesterday's match. I was sitting about 15 rows back in the West stand and got very wet. I wondered what would have happened if there had been a larger crowd on.

Would spectators have been expected to sit in the lower rows and get even wetter? If so, I can imagine many 'casual' and some 'not so casual' spectators not returning.

I understand that the stand is poorly designed but wonder if the East stand can be opened as it it sheltered from the prevailing wind.

In the current climate we cannot afford for situations like this to arise. It will not do to say, 'we are Leythers and things like this don't bother us'. Have LSV got a plan?

Correct but if the wind was blowing West to East ?

Join us in the North mate.

West Stand would still have to be opened because of the exec boxes etc so it would cost much more to open the East Stand as well, though I too was a little worried that it might put people off in future.

Erm....anyone remember Hilton Park? We didn't moan then did we.

To be fair - if you were sitting down in the Tommy Sale Stand you'd be hard pressed to have been rained on!!

Those of us on the TS terrace however.........

Remember when we played the Pies in the CC (2002).....got there nice and early to secure my usual spec......and it fekkin' leathered down for about twenty minutes just before kick-off!!!! I was still wringing my sleeves out at half-time!!

Wear suitable clothing.

As I said this is precisely the attitude that will get us nowhere with the 'casual' spectator, who will think that he will be dry if he is stitting in the stand! Not an unreasonable expectation.

You wouldn't get that in SL, it doesn't rain on the privileged on the correct side of the Pennines

Your not suggesting people dont get wet at other modern stadia are you?.

Moran buys the rain clouds on match day and dumps them over Widnes, don't mess with the Moranavitch

Shame on the LSV for not having the foresight to have requested a retractable roof. Shame on them.

Sit higher up the stand if it's phissing down , It's not like the rest of the sensible ones in the stand made it look full did it ?
