You can still stand on the east terrace, North stand is the best thing to happen to belle Vue for years |

Well if you stand on the East stand (as I do) yes, I'm totally missing your point??!! |

I don't know how forward the pass was to Kay just before half time but I do know that all the saints fans were able to help the ref.
Its like playing away every _______ week.

North Stand has added great atmosphere to the ground, as has the covered terracing on the West Terrace. But the segregation in a traditional rugby ground has caused more bad than good. Before segregation i would go into the bar on the West Terrace, but since segregation have not been able to get in there due to it being away fans area. Will in future not be wearing my colours so i am able to have a few pints whilst supporting my team. Also unhappy that pies were being sold for a quid a go after the hooter at the West Terrace exit, so away fans benefit from cheap pies too!

Sure that's a benefit for the away fans?  |

Sneaked a cheap pie in today. Very substantial corned beef and tatty. Away fans didn't know what they missed!

The passion / noise in the North Stand has fallen way off from just a few games ago, not surprising mind. By the way, I entered through the West turnstile along with Saint's supporters, using my season ticket with no problem from the turnstile op or the stewards, and I was in RW&B colours. Just saying.

Many of us prefer the Western Terrace, but segregation took that option away. I honestly miss the mixing of supporters, but circumstances dictated the actions taken.
Given a choice between the Eastern Terrace (too shallow and a crap view) and the North stand (end on, but decent view) North stand won for me.
