Any experts on acoustics/PA systems able to advise how effective or not this will be...?

Don't see the point of having "crowdlift" on the north side. Will definitely be needed on the south side if the "atmosphere" this season is anything to go by. Any noise from the south stand just dissapates into the night, and I stand on the southern end of the western terrace, only half a football pitch away from the people trying to make noise! The drum carries, but nothing else. Also they will turn off the amplification when there's too much cussing in the songs. SKY will have access to the mixing desk too so the tv won't sound so eerie when they cut the fans. Wakey had a similar system in the 80's which they would use to cue the fans into chanting, definitely the kind of tin-pot thing that suits RL

How utterly embarrassing

Wow. How embarrassing. They know they've destroyed the South Stands atmosphere so they've put this monstrosity into place? Christ.

The South Stands atmosphere will never be the same. Everyone just needs to accept that.

It will never be exactly the same, but with a large standing terrace, once fully open, should still provide a great atmosphere, with much improved facilities.

Atmosphere will stay as it has been this year.

Prawn sandwich brigade now sat at the back of the terrace won't want to hear any effing + jeffing.

It's the 21st century version of Steve 'Fonz' Long at Bradford Bulls. "Let's hear the war cry".

Quite right too - no need for it, why do we need to resort to using foul and abusive language to express our opinions?

Fuck off

Agreed

Perhaps we need to test the vocab of supporters before we let them in the ground - can you articulate "the ref's is having a bad game" without using the words "w......r

has it ever been in the back of your mind that you could end up having the best stadium in the championship, I would love to see how the media would handed something like this after the stadium standards being pushed.

good luck in the 8s I don't want to see it happen

The Championship will certainly have some decent grounds, Leigh Sports Village, The Shay at Halifax, Barton Stadium Salford. Headingley won’t be one of them.

These are at the corner of the car park between the bottom of the ginnel and St Michael's Lane.

Like the rest of the ones at HQ they are not on the actual stand they serve.

So glad you called it a ginnel mate and not a snicket

Seats are being installed in the South Stand. At the rate they’re going, they should be all in by the weekend.

Yep, been up for the last 2 home games. looks like you will be queuing on the road, just like near the club shop !

Pronounced with a J not a G.

Not in my book

its always been gin

Flippin' eck gulfcoast_highwayman - you have started something now - lol

Those not in Gods own county speak up in favour of the snicket, while ginnel, is widely used in parts of Greater Manchester and parts of Yorkshire.

Some speakers use both ginnel and snicket, but for different kinds of passageway, reserving one term for a short, narrow covered passage between two houses (Ginnel) and the other for a typically longer, wider, walkway running between two streets, snicket

Open to any comments on this !

gin for me

Gin is pronounced with a J. As in Jin & Tonic. Not G as in goat.

It's a Ginnel, not a Jinnel.

The seats look very dark, almost black on the webcam.

can you post a link?
