Sorry, don't agree.
Home fans should be behind the sticks - we moan on here when we go to away grounds and get a view from the side!!
If home fans want to stand on the Western Terrace, fine and crack on but not for me thanks...

I don't know any other team that puts away fans down the side.
The better view of the whole pitch is down the side, which is why the posh seats are always there......in every sport.

But I guess it's personal choice.

Used to enjoy changing/exchanging ends with the away fans back in the day. Once we became three sided that tradition ended and the South end of the Western Terrace became the best place to be for one half of the game. Considered returning there next year but my friends now prefer the North Stand, so it will be there until we degenerate sufficiently to require seating.

I agree on this.

After 40+ years in the North Stand I have got my season ticket in the new east stand.

I do think the armosphere in the north stand is good, and I wouldnt want us to lose that though now.

Maybe in time though, who knows, we may need to utilise all four sides to accommodate supporters

Likewise. I've moved from the South Stand (yes, there was one) to the North Stand but I've finally decided to sit down and with the new East Stand it seems to be a good time. Will miss the North Stand.

Really? Warrington is standing behind posts when I went.
Sts I always sit down at side so can't remember.

Obviously if you sit in the posh seats it's down the side though.

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

Re: Season Tickets : Mon Nov 27, 2023 2:45 pm  

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.

Re: Season Tickets : Mon Nov 27, 2023 3:22 pm  

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
