I suggested this three years ago. No wonder I get demoralised about the club management.

Britannia yes but maybe better to close the end sections at both ends so people can sit in the middle. I wonder why the singers will say about being forced down te stand !!!

Direct golf yes.

John Smiths don't we do this already iie Catalans. They will have to spend a fortune on stewarding putting Salford fans in with ours.

Fantastic media probably best to close it altogether.

When I suggested setting aside blocks for singers everyone said people won't want to move their seats. Looks like they will have no option now. My view is that it will save money but create a better atmosphere and will help the singers as they will be right amongst the fans.

A good move imho

Most of the 'singers' i've spoke to are quite happy to give it a try !

and this isn't an order by the club, it is acting on suggestions, yours included it seems, to see what the fans think before they go ahead and implement anything.

I would prefer to keep things as they are, apart from behind the sticks (home) support.
It would make the crowd look smaller than it is, all huddled into a smaller area with vast empty seats.
Besides that the team might be successful next season, and win some key games. In the past we do quite well and then bottle key matches and let the fans down, this impacts on support. If we had done better in play-off games and got to a couple of Grand Finals it would probably make all the difference to season ticket sales.
Anyway I don`t fancy been completely surrounded by other supporters, I like a bit of wiggle room.

Yes all for it if done properly, which means using large covers like used in the John Smith stand, not simply taping off. Done well could be good, done badly would not work

britannia rescue stand... yes could be compressed so people sit in the middle, dont think shutting off the seats at the back will help as some people have had season tickets for seats up their for years and quite happy, no need for that if the sides are chopped off anyway.

fantastic stand - this is where some cheaper tickets are sold?? some like to sit behind the goal posts too, maybe close the sides off on that too to compress.

gold stand - giving the opposing fans side on seats will give their team a lift and shouts of forrrrrward passes , we already get enough pens against us!!

keep them behind the posts. only catalans we shut that stand for.

if all the changes were made though id have no complaints, just if the back rows of seats were closed off, would cause problems with season tickets holders who would move down abit but those seats are already taken too

and yes use proper covers, maybe a sponsor could take advantage

Yes please !!!!!!!!!!

How many sections does that leave in Brittania Rescue stand for Giants supporters? Wouldn't this naturally populate up to the top of the stand? And do season ticket holders keep same seats or is it a start again job or all unreserved seating?
In theory the idea of condensing is good and should generate more atmosphere but needs to be done right. Although " not an order" I guess it will happen and can't blame the club for looking at it.

It won't happen if the fans are not happy with it, that's why i need to gauge an opinion on what the majority want without the minority being too unhappy.

Have they maybe tried to grow the crowds?

Just a thought.


Nah, let's just go for managed decline.

For all my cynicism, I think this is a good idea.

Looking at the attendances this season we are -as expected- down on last year.
Interestingly we have a better attendance figure than both Wakey and Widnes- yet noone has a go at them for their crowds!!!!

The proposals make sense, if and when we "grow" the crowds the seating areas can be expanded.
