I don't get this stand debate. I really miss being able to cheer the team off at the end of a game but 30 seconds after kick off I'm absorbed in the match. Only notice the sun when I jump up to cheer a Quins try and my sun glasses fall off! A recent recruit to RL I've been to two away games - Crusaders and Hull KR, based on those experiences we have a fantastic stadium and the East stand is still far better than what's on offer at either of those grounds. Atmosphere may be an entirely different discussion.

At last some sanity. We have the best rugby stadium in the country. Yes it was sunny, get over it. I do like the idea that we could all be in the Lexus and then move for the Sky games, seems like a good compromise until gates of finances pick up.

I like watching rugby at the Stoop.

I like watching at the Stoop too - but I can see much better from the Lexus than the East. The fact that our stadium is better than most will hardly be a factor to those we are trying to attract new to the game - so we should offer attendees the best we can, not forgetting they can always sunbathe, drink and talk to others at many other places.

...suggest you take a look at the signs across the 'dark side' stand. The majority say LV and that is now the name of the stand NOT ..... NOT....
that Jap car brand!!

I cant see the signs due to the sun.

I'll say it again.

Next year, if we must stay in the East Stand (rather than the west stand

) then allocate 3 mid sections for ST's and the rest un-allocated for Home fans. When playing Celtic, French, Salford, Hudds and Wakey then alocate AA to their fans. Tape it off if need be, but keep them in there.
For the other teams (averaging over 3,000 gates since 2000 season) open the North.

Been on holiday so just read all this

Being in the shade spoils the game for me as I get cold and prefer a warmer temperature.

Swings and roundabouts.

I could put on a jumper like others could put on sunglasses, a hat or even sun cream. Sun doesn't automatically equal skin cancer.

Not everyone can be happy but we can't move the whole stand based on a minority who don't like the sun for various reasons. Thousands of people lining beaches enjoy the sunshine tells you where the majority is.

Great link.



And yer I suppose sitting on a beach for hours on end is comparable to 80 minutes with a break half way through.

Worst argument ever.
