South Standers, the proud, vociferous support of the Rhinos who stand in the South Stand. However, let me pose a question:

If those stood in the South Stand are watching the rugby, then they are facing in a northwards direction, therefore are they not South Standers but actually North Standers?

Discuss.

They are South Standers but North Facers.

Off season. Fantastic.

Oh

You're stood in the south, therefore south standing.

On and I'm moving from the South Stand to the Paddock next season.

I'm on the Western Terrace - where do I stand, so to speak?

In the rain,getting wet.

Cake.

The answer to the OP's question is neither.

Any reliable compass would indicate...

1) The South Stand is the South by West (SbW) Stand.
2) The North Stand is the North by East (NbE) Stand.
3) The Western Terrace is the West by North (WbN) Terrace.
4) The Carnegie Stand is East by South (EbS)

Anyone stood watching the game in the South by West Stand would have to turn 11.25 degrees west in order to be stood south and be north facing.

I might occupy the SbW Stand at Headingley on the 8th of November to get a much better view of SBW.

That's if he can fit rugby into his hectic lifestyle.

Have fun ogling. Hands where we can see them.

I'm pretty sure you'll be able to see his wallet from there

Absolutely disgraceful that a world class player should be filling his wallet via his hectic lifestyle.

I look forward to occupying the SbW Stand for the NZ v PNG fixture. Haven't stood in there for years and not since all the ts have occupied it.

Thankfully, they won't be around in huge numbers during the RLWC because it doesn't form part of their t season ticket.

It should be fantastic opportunity to see such a great Rugby Union player making a short but brief appearance in a few games playing for his second love

Yep, it is a fantastic and rare opportunity which presents itself, so I'll be there in attendance to see a genuine world class player in action



For those not used to seeing genuine world class players in action who might find such an experience unfamiliar and intimidating, there's always England V Ireland at Huddersfield instead.

Enjoy.

Correct

I'm also looking forward to Italy vs Tonga that weekend as well

This was precisely the sort of reply I was looking for - isn't it great when we have wonderful informative replies like this that really add to the discussion.

Also, a quick note for those at the latter end of the thread, let's keep this on topic, please.

Shouldn't the North Stand be the South/North stand due to the cricket ground side?

I'm in the Carnegie seats. Does that make me upstanding?

. . . . . and those who can't even be bothered to turn up and watch? They're outstanding.

Those that are under you on the Carnegie Terrace, are they understanding?

Have they named the stand (possibly the redevloped one) after him in anticipation? I will look down on you from the Carnegie with a bit of luck.

Hopefully those drooling over SBW from the SbW stand won't be hard standing.

Can't wait until, after 2 wins from 2, NZ decide to rest SBW for the final group game.

Given there is a variation of just over three degrees from mag north to true north in an easterly direction your calculations comparing a point on one and a point on the other are an attempt to convince us that the distance between those two points is bigger than it actually is. Not unusual though that is it?

Mag to Grid get rid and all that.
