With the weather forecast being so bad on Sunday wouldn't it make sense to move the spectators from the open Western Terrace to the South Stand which I believe is not being used?
Mind you common sense and the RFL often seem milers apart.






SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS

For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.

For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.

Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row

Not looking forward to the weather, I’m blaming my mate who bought the tickets, if there’s room under cover then it should be used






Wigan home of league

They did eventually start selling tickets for the South Stand to HKR IIRC, so not sure what the situation is. It has been a total cock up from start to end. Wigan should’ve had the East and HKR the South from the get go.

That would mean fans of a Lancashire club going to Yorkshire and not being shafted. Will never happen.

Won't the South stand be being used for leeds fans who want to watch their women's team play?

I don't think that there will be around 8,000 Leeds fans there, do you? I'd love that to be true though.

Leeds are advertising tickets for East/North stands for their fans to buy.

No doubt BBC will have their weird shanty gantry studio thing positioned in the south. I believe we had sold circa 2,000 for the South Stand as of last week.

No reason other than the RFL trying to flog the tv illusion of a full stadium, by selling (or forcing) the TV frontage stands upon fans to buy first.

Not at all, but they can't be seen to be offering nothing at all for a version of the sport that is growing i dont think

Think the middle blocks of the North stand are reserved for the women's game

Opening the west stand at all was disgraceful, let alone sticking the majority of one club's fans there. I'd be amazed if the crowd breaks 15k so the three sides with shelter would have been more than enough.
