Don't think its worth bothering the club with as its is unllikely in the extreme that they will dump Peters as they will have a very new contract with them.
I get a better audience on here.

Anyway, I've learned my lesson - I will not buy a pie again there and neither will the other guys.
The only thing that will change the club's mind on their deal is when pie sales drop to an unstainable level; which will happen in due course as they will not get any repeat business!
(if anyone on here has actually enjoyed the steak pie at the ground then I'd be amused to hear from you - if you can eat that, you can eat anything)

The guy in the white van selling the pies was claiming they were pimbletts apparently.

In all fairness after reading your signature you shouldn't have been anywhere near Peter's pies.

Maybe it's your inability to remember what you do and don't like rather than the pie itself.

We got dealt with of 200 Salford fans!? Firstly, sort your spelling and grammar out before coming to troll. Secondly stop trying to dodge the swear filter, and finally whilst you may have thought you sounded like 1000 elephants trumpeting, we barely heard you from the West Stand bar the odd occasion once you'd scored.

Sorry but I was sat in the North Stand, on the red vee infact, and the Salford fans out sang us all the game. They never stopped singing from start to finish, when they were infront and when they were behind. They were brilliant.

Never heard the west stand all night or the east stand and I have friends who were there and said they were singing all night to the Salford fans.

Looks like the atmosphere is only going to be generated by who is in your stand as you can't hear the other stands.

I was In the North stand and I wasnt aware that there were any Salford fans In that stand

They are apparently moaning about there being "only" one male toilet block for 4000 fans in the north stand and they had to queue at half time!"!"

Bit of a p*sser, that!

Here's the rest of my post (originally on the Salford section of the rlfans forum), someone has since advised that the gaps under the stand roof will be sorted out when additional panelling is installed in due course.

On the plus side...
Good views (even from the corner where the Salford support was, apart from not being able to see the Sky TV screen)
Easy to get to / get away from after the game.
Like at Warrington, there's a mix of standing or seats.

On the minus side.
Not sure about the stand roof being on stilts. If the weather blows in from the North, I reckon that the North Stand concourse area would be decidely cold and wet.
Not enough toilets. (Only one block of gents for the whole of the North stand).
Turnstiles not particularly well marked.

Ditto.

Re: stadium : Mon Feb 13, 2012 10:57 pm  

Quick question on this guys - is there not an "away fans stand" in this ground then? is it just 1/2 sections with saints fans next to them?
Or was it just because it was your opening game?

Re: stadium : Mon Feb 13, 2012 11:00 pm  

technically the away stand is the East Terrace but because it was the opening game and Salford traditionally dont bring many it was decided to put them in a section of the North stand and sell East stand tickets to Saints fans, understandably there was huge demand being the first competitive SL match

Totally agree, just checking what the situation was, obviously teams with decent away following would struggle to fit in 1 section of seats.
