Wouldn't mind seeing a pic of how the stand looked if anyone has got one.

Spot on. Should be half and half, with Widnes given the South Stand as well. Mind you, imagine the stewarding feck ups.

Not to mention the people who BOUGHT season tickets in there only to turn up one week and be told they had to go back round to the main stand.

It has the same capacity as the mormal away section.





It's called home advantage.

The Widnes following didn't appear to be any different than Warrington,Wigan,St Helen's etc in numbers.

There is nothing wrong with the west stand and it makes it more interesting when the fans mix at matches.

I think that you will agree that wherever you sit or stand at Salford City Stadium you get a better seat or standing position than you get at many other grounds and you are always in a covered section.

The problem for the Salford fans is that many were sold season tickets for the east stand only to be told at short notice that they had to move elsewhere.

Chill. Other visiting fans this year have been given a choice between standing in the North Stand or sitting in the West Stand.

The problem with giving away fans the East Stand is that it really does forfeit an element of home advantage. The first thing the visiting players see is their fans as they enter the pitch. Pro-rata, away fans are usually more vocal than home fans so giving away fans the side means that their vocal fans are next to the team (never more than 35 yards away on Friday) at all times for encouragement; whereas our supposedly vocal fans are relatively isolated from the action anything between 20 and 120 yards from the team.

With the precedent set by Warrington, anyone with any sense would have put standing down the side, but we seemingly had a clueless client and a spineless anchor tenant with our stadium build.
