Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us.

This, along with the possibility of being blinded by a low sun early/late in the year, was pretty much why the original plan for north stand to house the home fans was swapped. | | |

I'd rather stand to watch RL as sitting down seems to dull the atmosphere. However, I dislike watching RL from either end of the pitch even more. So I'm forced to pick the lesser of two evils for me.
I miss the Shed.
The atmosphere, noise, familiar faces, funny moments and banter when the occasional group of opposition fans settled in there. The way the players always played for the Shed, looked to it to make noise and intimidate the opposition, and we were always the first place the players came to after the final whistle. Sentimental nonsense maybe, but you simply can't get that feeling back while stuck at the end of a pitch. At least to me anyway. We need to be in the middle, in the heart, being the extra man.
Not that it's likely to change though.

My sentiments exactly. I go to watch the game and I cannot see from the south stand. Whilst I miss the atmosphere of standing up I'd rather see the game.

Quote ="John Gilbert Reds"Forget taking seats out, just stand. When has seating ever stopped Salford fans from standing? There is no need for terracing in the ">East.'"
Exactly. Even the stadium management company has indicated that they'd have no problem with this.
Any disgruntled East Stand ST holders could be upgraded to the West Stand.

Move to the east stand and I'll be over there like a shot offering my much needed vocal support.
