The only thing I really want is for the stands to be very, very close to the pitch as Wheldon Rd is now - want to be able to create an intimidating atmosphere for visiting teams.

I think thats a key point and really does make a difference - but we also need to take into consideration player safety. Inglis went through the Advertising sign in the Final

But i agree with your remark

I really hope not (though my 5 year old loved the Galpharm because he could sit down and see all the action).

I think the Fans Wall (or Walk) is a great idea - I'd certainly buy a brick for me and the kids and maybe for my late Grandads.

looks good

We also want the fans to have the opportunity to help finance the scheme and are exploring the potential for local people to buy shares in the stadium as well as the ‘buy a brick’ scheme which has been done successfully at many other new stadium developments. We will announce details as soon as we are able.”

Agreed. Let's have a supporters stand down one touchline to entice the WRE crowd to watch from the side rather than the end, as they do at Warrington, Leeds and Hull KR.

The away fans can pay more and go in the seating behind the sticks.

I'm with you, but I think to generate most money out of the ground, it'll have to be all-seater...

My head agrees, my heart does not!

Like wise,

I see the appeal of all seater, but if the main area is used for "other" events i dont see why it has to be all seater if the Terraced end is used for the stage area.

I would have thought its easier to erect a stage with a terraced back than seats?

Though weve generated enough noise in all seater stands before - Wigan, Huddersfield this years CC cup

Didnt they already say that it would have one standing side?

Plus if moneys tight its cheaper to build a standing area than a seated one.
