It looked like the/a disabled area, the disabled people went up on top near the boxes yesterday, like they do at Leigh in the main stand.

It will be the regular disabled area apparently, but must admit its the first time ive been on a TV gantry (which is also a shared disabled gantry like at Dewsbury) where they haven't put any electricity sockets, our Dave made a joke on the way up saying he bet because it was in Yorkshire they would only have one socket, he was wrong they had none, poor Steve the Fax video guy has to run a ruddy great extension lead every game and tape it all off, so no the facilities have not been thought out. (Yes I know complained about the electrics on the gantry at the lsv when it first opened but that was because they had put the WRONG sockets in - indoor instead of out door - not that they hadn't put ANY in, good view though especially yesterday )

Fred I have a 1.8Kw inverter in my kit. A very handy piece of equipment for those type of situations. The only draw back is it needs a 400Ah battery to run it a full wack for any time and that is a blurry big battery. Plus side is when we have a power cut I can still keep the feezer going and I can watch the box. You can buy smaller versons that will run on a car battery.

Thought it was a purpose-built stage at first, and was well-impressed! Like all new facilities, including ours, the P/A system can be heard miles away, when music is played, but as soon as someone reads out the teams, nothing can be heard! (although a 'fax fan sat beside me said it was because of the guy's 'diction' )

I have a couple of the car battery inverters Tony but usually manage on batteries as I tend to use 'domestic' video cameras and batteries are powerfull and cheap, but thanks for the tip.

The cut out ' patio area ' in the middle of the stand at Fax has a corporate function room behind it , personnally I thought having a ' purpose stage area ' a very good idea , it made the half time interesting [ I missed the pre match as I only arrived late ] and is better than having to rush to assemble a stage on the pitch , in fact I'd go as far as suggesting that something similar could be sorted at the LSV

What I dont understand is why they are still using the old skircoat stand as a normal pay to get in facility , pointless if you ask me having 200 odd people [ not ' odd ' as such , but I know demon went in there

and when the tv cameras come they will all go in the new stand and sit together - whats the song title ahhh yes...There could be trouble ahead.....

it used to be where we put the big screen when we were in super league, i hope they do something with it though.

if its sorted then certainly improve an already fantastic stadium.

no one is more glad than the fax fans that the new stand is complete.

i have been used to seeing it half built for a while.

its nice to see it finished. at last.

I was in the new stand.Great view.Not especially better than lsv, bit steeper ?

i was in the bar to.Shutters came down 2.50.Camera in.Cameraman came in.Fax fans said he should make the most of the people as at £3 a pint and dear grub would not be back next game.

Where have we heard that before?

The Gantry where the band were playing is for the people dining can come out an watch the game from there or take a seat in the stand

I had actually taken someone who is unable to stand for a whole game anymore. Couldn't exactly abandon him now could I. As for your comment, that has offended me more than the flute song. Cue TV Boy

that corner is not part of the stand, was designed as office space and function rooms, will be finished when council make enough money from rest or if a company comes in and wants the space. was originally going to be used also by leeds carnegie as classrooms but that idea fell through.
