| My ST seat in block AH was in full sun for the whole of the game. Also, my eyesight isn't too brilliant. And I don't like sitting in the sun anyway.
But none of that gave me any problems at all yesterday. I was able to watch the match in comfort with an excellent view.

Same can be said from my perch in AG.

Do you really want to put two fingers up to them?
No but for the 12 home games or so that are not on SKY the club could revert back to using the LV stand. If fans really have to go to the East Stand when SKY are there then fine but that is no reason to give an inferior view for the other matches
I am sure it could be done, seats wouldn't be an issue but it seems you sit where you want anyway

| Quote: Dave Lister "So what is the solution to the East Stand having a poor atmosphere? The problem is not the stand itself but the people who are in it.'"
Agreed on the people but I think the main problem with the east stand is the fact it has been split into two. Anybody who sits in section AA and AB with away support around them there is no way you can hear the QRL crowd, believe me I have sat there for a few games this year (example le cats game when they only had a few supporters sat in AB). For those on "cheap" tickets and attending their first game the home experience is poor even when we have been winning. You have to consider tickets on a walk up basis appear to be issued for the last two sections AA & AB and anybody new to the ground will not know where most of the QRL fans sit. Consider also those teams who tend to bring a decent following have the advantage of the tin shed behind the posts which generates more noise then the East, which is due to structural design.
Last year in the lexus the crowd was mostly QRL and the atmosphere was much better.
However it is appears too late to solve the problem this year and needs to be addressed for next season.

| The view was awful at times on Saturday, but that has always been a problem with the East Stand. Atmospehere is a subjective thing, I don't have a problem, I'll have a bit of a sing along, but repeated inane chants aren't my thing.

You are roght on this one but given the difference in view of the two stands surely the best bet is to open the one with the best view ?

| Quote: LU2 " When I arrived at Blocks AA/AB, I cannot say I was surprised that in at least 50% of the occupied seats were Leeds supporters having had a similar experience at my last visit to the Stoop. It is bad enough watching your team annihilated by the opposition without being ridiculed by the opposition’s supporters surrounding you.'"
Bloody hell, one of the reasons I love RL is the banter you can enjoy without getting your teeth kicked in!

Agreed, I was irritated into being forced into sitting at the other end of the stand

Is there anything we dont moan about on this forum
[iIm not going to watch rugby anymore 'cause they make me sit near the naughty Rhino fans and let the sun shine in my eyes[/i-Hmmm
What next the colour of the grass, size of Howells feet, the noise from the planes flying over.........
Watch Ice hockey-lots of seats available there, no Yorkshire people there and no sun- Ps dont forget your coat'"
So your quite happy for our fans to drift away? There were a handful of quins supporters sitting near me who made similar comments.
The club should be trying and make the matchday exprience as enjoyable as possible. The Broncos, during their time at Charlton and the Stoop, beat this bunch of amatuers hands down.
And yes, I sat in the old West stand at the Stoop where I got a much better view.

| What happens when its Sunny at Quins RU? Do the supporters in the East Stand get the hump and declare themselves they are going to stop supporting the side because there are no seats available in the Lexus?
