My preference would be to see the LV stand for season ticket holders. All seats unallocated and this would enable season ticket holders to bring friends and new supporters with them and be able to sit together. What's the point of allocated seating when the stewards don't enforce it. Obviously these new fans should only be able to sit with season ticket holders for an agreed time limit then they should be encouraged to buy a season ticket or use the walk up facilities. Three to five games should be enough to et them hooked.How do you manage this? Who knows how many games an individual has been to? A one price ticket system plus concession price should be easy to manage. The club do not need to open any facilities in the LV stand apart from the toilets which are accessible from outside. These are opened anyway. Four stewards is not expensive and should be enough to maintain safety, they could actually be transferred from east to west stand.

The East Stand could be for walk ups and away fans again unallocated. Season ticket holders who prefer the east stand should be allowed to use their season ticket for entry into that stand. Probably around £10 per ticket. Keep it cheap to fill seats and get new fans.

If the club could do this it should show once and for all which stand the fans prefer. If it is true they prefer the LV then the club should be selling loads of season tickets in advance and get the money in. Too many poeple have said they are unhappy so lets try and change the unhappiness and build positive vibes

Lets wait and see what PB has up his sleeve.

I thought we were in the east stand for Sky's purposes

Season ticket holder would purchase tickets or their friend would purchase tickets giving season ticket holders details. These details can be logged on the data system which actually shows who has previously purchased tickets and to which games.

I would think he has a lot up his sleeve - he appears to be very switched on and no-ones fool. He is building crowds slowly and surely.

Spot on B1........having the fans in one stand and overspill/away into the north does nothing for SKYs TV presentation and nothing for Quins attendance figures......in fact it looks awful when the cameras are scanning the ground and all you see is empty sides.

The change to the east stand for home fans has been to the detriment of the game day atmosphere.......most (but appreciate not all) home fans would prefer to be in the LV, facing the away fans in the east. The away fans would also prefer to be in the east, not stuck behind the sticks.....so what on earth are we doing in trying to wedge everybody in the east!!!

Agree with the sentiment that seating for ST holders in the LV stand should be unallocated......the flexibility it would provide for bringing along guests and newbies would be a vast improvement.....all in all a better `game day experience` and after all thats what we are trying to sell!!!!

Not knocking you....more interested really....what ground did Warrington play in front of 104,000 people at??

It's awful sitting in the East stand - cramped - sun in your face and surrounded by the opposition. The West LV stand was a much better option all round and if they said we were going back to that next year my money would be in the post today for next season. As it is I'm not sure I'll be having a season ticket at all. In all the years supporting my team they have been let down to a greater or lesser extent by the appalling 'back-room' team. (Chris Warren and Dom excepted). Not enough passion ofr the game or concern for the supporters.

And all these stats - check out the time of year of the game too before you start comparing. It's school holidays now - may get a few more away supporters but home supporters from the 'affluent' south may be away on holiday.

Simplistic? Sensationalism? Daily Star


Get real.....any other way of representing the crowd figures since we came back to TW2 is spin. I suggest you look at the front page of the quins site and the spin applied to the Leeds crowd on June 20th. A record 2009 attendance figure it may be.......but it was actually the 3rd worse crowd for a visit of the Rhinos since 2000. Polish the turd all you like.......you can't hide the fact it's still a Turd.
How would you rather I represent a drop from a 4,238 average in 2006 to a current average of 3,512?

We could just go back and borrow 6000 of them for our next home game.

We could ask Dr Who, or Captain Jack at Torchwood. Then again you could go to Odsal, Belle Vue, Cas or St Helens, at least you would feel you as though you were in the 1950s!
