Soon we will be dancing the Fandango FROM 2004,TO DO WHAT THIS CLUB'S DONE,IF THATS NOT GREATNESS THEN I DONT KNOW WHAT IS. JAMIE PEACOCK:



Quote: GRLA "Trick is going to be how to keep atmosphere at new ground?
Any ideas from new stadia that we could suggest for NM (excepting obvious, such as bigger crowd)?
I wonder about Steeper tiered seating; can have a very claustrophobic impact on away team, but don't know how that works in terms of cost ( presumably engineering & material issues more expensive), impact on capacity, etc;
Was told by an ex-pro soccer player that LUFC trick of pushing less popular clubs' away support into a segment at south east end of Elland road was effective in making away players feel there was no travelling support ( I think Whino's pull a similar trick with the undeveloped west terrace vis a vis rest of Headingley).'"

Wrong!there is no designated away area at Headingley,away supporters can't watch from any part of the ground.There is room

Although your point is correct, the art of "nudge" is employed at headingly, to good effect; the majority of away fans don't congregate on the west stand & you cant tell me that this isn't encouraged ( & you surely agree that the west stand is significantly less well developed than rest of ground). Not an issue for us, as I don't think we bring enough fans to make an impact in a bigger area & at least it allows us to concentrate our support, which hopefully helps our team.
I actually think we are currently following Headingley's lead, after a fashion, in nudging folk away from our North stand, as opposed to evicting them. (See threads on North stand for discussions on rights & wrongs of this)

Before crowds at Heaingley improved significantly,Hulls following used to invade the southand with the obvious intention of competing with the Southstander's and the atmosphere used to be quite threatening,but since the turn of the century there is thankfully not much room for fans who come with a large following.I honestly think it will be a great many years if EVER before the western terrace gets redeveloped.Even with planning permission they ned to find finance,which they are trying to acquire now for the rebuilding of the Southstand.You do have a point though

Don't blame Leeds for not having it as priority; charity begins at home, they say.
