its called takin the mick

Why do we need a seperate end for the away supporters?

Do you REALLY want to mingle with them dirty Wiganers?

Large spaces at the sides for an early and quick exit



Most ground have the away section as the seperate bit we seem to have one of the sides.

How do you know it's one of the sides?

It's always a better atmosphere if fans are segregated.

What will be the away allocation?

Can't remember the number crunching on the lay out, but you'll be getting one of the goal ends.

3,800 standing at each end so guessing we'll work similar to DW/JJB with the end and maybe a couple of blocks of seats on one side up to 5000ish

Thats very good I feel there has never been quite a big enough allocation for us at your place for some games, although won't be big enough for Hull KR. I am rather chuffed in a strange way that saints are getting a new stadium, for none rugby league fans turning on sky sports and looking at the best team super league has to offer and then see them playing at KR it makes the sport look small but saints in a new stadium will be great for the sport IMO. No doubt your crowds will go up as a result of the new stadium as well if you continue your current success. Saints are a good examle of how a club should be run IMO I wish we were getting our own stadium. Lets hope we can catch up and saints and Wigan can be at the top of the game once again.

I was with you up to that bit

Shut it you

I said I hope we can be. Would be great having Wigan and Saints how you have been with Leeds for the last few seasons.

It would be good, i'll agree with that

Actually, the idea of having standing in the corners was also referred to at the meeting I went to just before the planning application went before the North West quango thingy, so it maybe an idea that is still being considered. The panel did say that they had been listening to the fans on this point because it appears that a lot of fans want some standing area and not just another all-seater. But I suppose the club have to balance the rugby league with other possible fundraising potential where seats would be crucial.

I give up...............

I have a simple idea just make the new stadium all seater and let the clique mob stand at the back

I would prefer all seater. I currently stand, but all seaters look better IMO

Better to give people the choice. Its the safe and sensible option.

As time goes by the standing fundamentalists will grow old, weak and die. The new breed of fan will in the main have no qualms about sitting down, (as they will have in all probability have been introduced to the game via the seats). When that time occurs then the terraces can be converted.

I would agree with the first part. The small number of Saints fans that insist on standing will be given the choice of standing on an end or sitting on the side. Given this choice most will eventually choose the seat as there tends to be a very small difference between sitting on the side or the end in terms of price. Hopefully the people that do stay standing on the end will be the beer drinking singing types so the stadium will gain a bit of atmosphere.
I doubt the stadium would become all seater any time soon as they will want to stuff as many away fans in the end at 22 quid a go.

Could be a viable option for our new stadium. Give our new stadium an authentic 1980's terrace feel for those standing fundamentalists






On non match days the police could rent it out.

What happened to the plans that could be viewed in the town hall? They had standing in the corners?

No they never.
Standing was behind goal

Only time there was standing at the corners was the howard morris era when there ws an exhibition at United Glass, this was around year 2001

Hahahaha thats perfect for us, as no travellign support come to KR anyways, this is perfect for the 2 catalans, the 1 landarn fan, the 11 wakey fans, the 12 dulls fans and so on... might be a tight squeeze when Leeds bring over there huge 25+ strong support though.

At Leighs ground they have 3 seating stands and one standing and thats for the home fans and its behind the goals. Seems to work well, we just need to get fans to sit on the chairs.......

Standing in the corners was the idea of the previous boards attempt circa 1999, it was always pie in the sky in my opinion.
