I like the way people are concerned about the fact if we all don't stand together there'll be no atmosphere generated at matches. Everyone stood together in The Shed for years and still didn't generate any atmosphere so what difference will it make?

I still can't understand why any shed dweller would want to go and watch a home game from behind the sticks??????

The south stand is now the home end as the sun and wind will not be in our faces, the original design has apparently rotated a little and this is the reason for the change. Don't know what design they have been going off the past few months........

To have the freedom to stand without upsetting anyone? when i start taking my son to watch salford ill probably sit on the side with him and i will not be happy if our view is obstructed by people stood up, you want to stand go behind the goal if watching from the side is more important that standing sit on the side....its as simple as that in my book

Can you sit for a full 80 watching salford without leaping out of your chair when somthing happens? a question you yourself can only answer



i also think being positioned behind the goal will help the players think of all the classic away day atmospheres (warrington away 2002,2006, Castleford away 2004, Grandfinal widnes 2003 of the top of my head) we are all situated behind the goal i feel you get that extra 1% out of the players when they are attacking / defending a wall of noise.

How many tries did we conceed in the dying seconds infrount of the north stand where there were 1000+ visiting supporters going potty, it happened most weeks if we are being honest.

The shed was loud inside at times but from the north stand it on an average day you wouldnt hear it (unless it was a simple enough song for everyone to join in) so it was a factor in the usual collapse before half time / full time in my opinion







You cannot have expected the shed to rock everyweek, its a two way street the crowd lift the team and the team somtimes lift the crowd, personally i feel the atmosphere wise the last season at the willows was a success was far better than the previous 2 season for a start, we made some good noise in certain games but quiet in others but id proably give it a 7.5/10



It will take a few games to get the atmosphere going again in the new ground, everythings going to be new but its an exciting challenge that lays head both on and off the field.

i see from the St Helen's site they are giving their season ticket holders an opportunity to visit their new ground an see their chosen seats sometime in December,

( presumably without asking £25. for Charitee..)

When something happens Bobby, I and everyone else who are in seats will sit rigid, just like in every seated stadium in the land!

depends on what that "something" is? a big hit? a try? a miss tackle? a tackle burst? a offload? making 10 yards?, a bomb to the corner?, a song? a half break?, a full break? a penality?, a bad referee deciton?, a knock on?, A 40/20?,a foward pass?



Id be up on my feet for all of the above no danger, person behind me might not be very happy with me bobbing up and down obstructing his and his childs view every 30 seconds as well as me sitting on frame of the chair rather than the seat so i dont have to jump up as far would probably damage the chair in the end.



Its a whole new world out there in barton and it will be interesting how many salford fans put watching the game SEATED on the side because visually its what they are use to and have their barings already because of the location of the old shed at the willows above STANDING at a rugby ground.

You would think the people who make these decisions would take a trip down to the HJ on a match day and see the atmosphere generated by the layout at Warrington , it really isn't rocket surgery

Bobby I love you to bits. But Feck me you talk some Shite!

We haven't yet renewed our season tickets, which is unusual for us.



I'm not happy about standing behind the sticks until I know what the view is like.



We are thinking of selecting a seat as it costs the same but not using it if the South Stand offers what we want.



Can I do this and which seated area is best anyone know?

Is there any players left in our squad from them games!

Even if there was.....
