Standing is the important aspect for me.

Personally i prefer to have a "end" like the stretford end or the KOP, its great being on a side in the shed but im sure we'll be able to "influence" important decition making by referees better when behind a goal rather than on the side.

does anyone know what the standing:seating ratio is? Is there not to be any standing along the sides at all?

I'm sure mention was made of adding in a standing area to one of the sides in a later phase, although I can't quite remember.

It is disappointing that there won't be any down the sides at first but I'm just happy with the thing getting built to be honest.

I don't think I'd move behind the sticks just to stand. I couldn't watch every game of rugby from that position, much prefer to view from the side. With football it's the opposite and I prefer to watch from behind one of the goals.

isnt there a meeting being organised so we can ask questions like this?

I have a question /request

@ Anfield in the tunnel there is a sign which says "this is anfield" this is a useful sign to have when the ground is in full swing visiting players get a bit twitchy with the wall of noise which gives liverpool an advantage, im not asking for any walls to be knocked down but can we have a sign which says "this is salford"? In the tunnel area because phycologically it might give us an advantage?

I dont see that just having a sign in the tunnel will put fear in to the opposition, i would have thought that the controlled aggression from the boys on the pitch will be the only way that the wind will be put up them.Or a very vocal K.O.T.S getting the new shed going.

Yes because that sign's turned Anfield into an absolute fortress this season.

I just think it might give us an advantage when entering the field, not this season maybe but im sure some players underperform when the kop and the rest of the ground is bouncing, the sign is important to build this pressure up imo

the willows is brilliant but i feel we are hindered a little trying to get behind the boys

1) the shed roof keeps the sound in which is good for us but i feel the players dont get the full benefit of the noise and when we are attacking the posts were 40 yards away so after the up n down bounce of the noise its not that loud

2) the northstand is very impressive and large compared to the the rest of the ground, get it a third full and you get a wall of sound effect with away fans their right on top of the try line might trigger the odd error by us.

Hopefully the designs of the roofs will allow the noise to be projected onto the field, nobody has moaned about it so i presume it in theory would work giving us an advantage.

How about a sign that says "This is Salford. Do you want your car minding?"

Re: New Stadium Site Update Thread!!! : Thu Nov 25, 2010 4:48 pm  

Yeah that would do so they spend 80 minutes wondering if their car is in one piece rather than being focused on the game

Is the name the Willows being totally abandoned when we relocate?? seems like a massive shame if it is the case.
