I think people mean North Terrace when talking about more than 10 years. How old is the roof? 10 years?

We used to stand on the West Terrace when the North stand was for the away fans but for the pre-season friendlies against Fev, Fax and Hull last year, when they were re-building the North Stand, we stood in our old spot on the West Terrace (just below the tea hut) and were surprised how little you could actually see when play was down in the South-West corner...I'm 6ft 3" and even I struggled, but the wife is only 5ft 1" and said she couldn't see anything once play went into the Southern half of the pitch !!
I get that those in the new East stand will be seated higher up, so this will not be a problem, but we are quite happy with our view from the North stand for the time being

But really that's my point FIL.
We have put the effort into making the North stand better, for lots of good reasons.
But if the Western Terrace was as steep as the north stand, it would be a great view.

Also, I used to stand where you describe in the corner for a few years. We probably bumped into each other.

Wire and FC have had us in a corner in recent games and Salford quite often put us in the stand opposite the main stand.
PT is right though, the "best seats" are usually on the halfway line, which ever sport.
Although the kop at Liverpool is behind the goals

The wire stuck us the the corner when I went for the SL game....

Any [ihalf-decent[/i hubby would have took a box for his good lady to stand on for a better view....

She will have had a better season than the rest of us last year.
Not being able to see would have been a bonus !

Hopefully not this coming season though

Yellow pages

Unfortunately that was just for the pre-season friendlies...she had to endure the regular season's garbage from the North stand along with the rest of us

The lady in the shop confirmed this morning that both the 1895 and Challenge Cup games are NOT included in with the season ticket matches

1895 cup may not be an issue, because our league one opponent will be away and its also possible we could be away when we play our champioship opponent.
Challenge cup games have always been pay per game.
However it would be nice if season ticket holders got some sort of benefit when buying their cup game tickets. Nevertheless , i will happily cough up and pay for all cup games to support all the great work done by Matt Ellis

Looking at the available season tickets in the Fox stand it looks like we haven’t even half filled it yet.

I would probably say we are at our limit in terms of current support or close and the challenge is bringing in that new support. It will mostly be done by winning I feel.

I wonder if there’s a plan to fill the other half of the Fox stand. Such a shame if it is half empty most games.

ST don't normally make up even half the crowd. They'll be a lot more people sitting in the Neil Fox Stand on match day.

Don't think this is an accurate observation as section D is reserved for directors and hospitality (which will be mostly full through the season) and section G is reserved for away fans (which will have varied population) I think the rest has more than 50% of the seats reserved (but the map seems to fluctuate daily)

I agree that certain games and events will attract more and some will not... Its up to the club now to create full event days around matches which will attract people .

As someone who generally turns up 5 minutes before kick-off regardless of the pre match fluff, I reckon winning will be the biggest attraction.

Me too Wollo, but will make an exception for the Bradford game.

You are correct from the perspective by which you view it... but I'd guess you are a long time customer and are happy with your expressed terms. And, in some cases. I agree... the quality of the opposition and a series of good results will attract more people...

With the middle but if that sells well then it probably would be around half - with away fans likely over a bit. I guess I just expected more buy in initially from the Trinity season ticket buyer's. As the core support we have waited a very long time for the improved facilities.

I hope that come the season it’s mostly full as that will be a huge boost to the club. Suppose we will have to wait and see but as a few have said, if we are winning then over the course of the season is expect the clubs support to grow.

I think Ellis would have snapped your hand off at 5000 season tickets , north stand sell out so early. There will be a lot of people like myself who can attend x amount of games due to it being a summer game now so will be paying on the gate for the games i can attend which the club will be grateful as will generate income. Add in away fans I expect home games to be near capacity each game

Over 3500 adult STs sold to date...

Already double what we sold last year.

Anyone else got the email this morning asking for each ST holder's details to be completed ??
I've just tried to do it but after completing the relevant boxes, the "Save Details" box doesn't allow me to save the details




Anyone else got this problem ??

I've emailed the club and am awaiting a reply.

Yes I've had a problem, I couldn't get past the login I'll be in town I'll try and sort it out in the shop.

Same, I push the log in and it’s unresponsive. I’ll wait for them to fix it.

Out of curiosity what is the capacity of the north stand in its entirety?

If we know that and can add the seats blocked out on the east on website it gives a good indication as to sales elsewhere (west mainly).

I got a password back using the link to contact if there are problems, that sorted it however it only shows 1 ticket and I have 3 including 2 juniors so if you contact make sure you het the whole lot assigned to your email.

Think they might have fixed the problem as I've just gone back into it and it has now worked
