Enough talk.Get the thing demolished and build a new one.All standing with some boxes at the back.We'll still be debating this in 10 years time IMO

I was situated closer to the Wakefield supporters end of the ground and i have to admit you made more noise yesterday than the whole of the south stand did on friday. However, I think given the noise you were making, you may have failed to hear the Wigan fans! A superb victory for your team and I hope that your supporters continue to support your team the way they did yesterday.

Although, I suspect that in France there maybe only the 10 or so that made it over last easter!

So we now have excellent corporate facilities in the Carnegie Stand, when the North Stand gets redeveloped it will no doubt also have corporate facilities and there is a call for corporate facilities for the ‘new’ South Stand.

Just one question – where are we going to get all the ‘corporates’ to fill these facilities – from what I understand there isn’t enough to fill the Lewis Jones Suit as it is.

The uni uses it for it's partners as opposed to local businesses, perhaps these others could come from these.

Tannoy in the Southstand was quietest it has been for a long time, couldnt hear the welsh lass sing or any announcements - if theyd started to demolish it on friday i wouldnt hear them warn everyone
[size=42they might if there are any potential corporates in the Southstand

Surely this has tarnished the reputation of Female Wigan Fans! - www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIpky7zto6s (one where women throws her pint)

Now, I wasn't there on Friday, so couldn't really comment, but I can see an obvious flaw with your experimental data here.........

???

The Crusaders fans in the Carnegie stand sounded louder, from your seat.... in the Carnegie stand. Can you think of any possible reasons for this beyond the actual volume of the 2 sets of supporters?

I thought thats what you meant. I will let you off because you did state you were not there. But you could have read the reports last week, and the instruction put out on the Leeds board, or indeed the thread here last week.

The Western Terrace was shut, and away fans could go in the south stand or Carnegie stand. Quite a few were in the Carnegie.

I know this. I was pointing out that the Crusaders fans might have seemed louder because they were stood ten yards away under your seated position, whereas the South Stand is a little further away.

It was a throw-away quip, however, so I think it would be best to lay it to rest now.

There's no doubt that the atmosphere in the SS has wained since we became good. In 2003/2004 time it was much louder than it is now. The only games it's ever loud for these days are Saints, Wigan and Bradford. The rest of the time all our fans just expect us to win, moan when we're not and clap along when we score. That doesn't mean to say that seating is the answer though. The Wigan fans have been louder than us for a few seasons now.

Thats a completely unprovable statement without having testing equipment at a selection of both Leeds and Wigan games and then accurately measuring the volume.

Even then, its hardly accurate as the accoustics of both venues differ so much.

However, if we are to believe your statement some may say that when a team is struggling the fans do more to get behind them, as opposed to when a team is winning and the fans dont really need to. Perhaps that is what has happened at Wigan?

You're right it is. I should have added IMO.
And I think that's exactly what's happened at Wigan yes. At any Wigan home game for the last few seasons they've been unsure of the outcome. At most Leeds home games, we're sure we're going to win, it's just by how many. The only at these games it gets really loud is when it looks like we're going to get turned over.

You need to lose more games and no longer be favourites in every match. That'll sort it!

So your seasons over before it starts

does that mean their supporters should be the loudest?

There are normally speakers placed along the South Stand touchline to assist the existing house PA system. These were not put in on Friday because of the snow and the frost sheets piled up on the South side of the pitch.

This is great news! It is a shame that the demolition didn't start on Friday then!

They certainly booed their team off much more loudly on Sunday than we booed the Rhinos off on Friday.

Not sure about the Southstand, but the West & East Terrace tannoys are too quiet. You just can't hear whats happening on the pitch.


Maybe it's so GH can keep the winnings from the Golden Gamble 'cause no one can hear the numbers

looks like it is just the one stand where the tannoy works!

SouthStand & Standing Area's 0 - All Seated Area's 1

Again, your assertion that tannoy function is in some way causally linked to the presence of seating is flawed at best.

I only sing when we are winning, if we aren't winning I just boo.

biting well???
