Sorry to pour cold water on the migration to the East but:

the ground belongs (largely at least) to Peel,

any changes in seating (ie rom seats to terraces) would have a cost implication,

and the primary tenant is Sale who would have to agree to any changes to facilities.

Forget taking seats out, just stand. When has seating ever stopped Salford fans from standing? There is no need for terracing in the East.

Just depends on how ars=#000000ey G4S are on a given match. It varies, seemingly.

True, but if the majority of the South moved across they wouldn't even bother trying to police it. It would be a thankless task asking circa 1,000 to sit down every 10 minutes.



Who is the leader of the South Stand clique thesedays and who do we need to speak with to organise such a trial?

We don't even need to ask the club you can hover between the East and South stands on gamedays anyway.



I would prefer if we got the club to promote it though. We need to get the flags put up too!



When we travel to Hull on Friday I doubt that many of us will be taking our seats.

Again, it varies.

A non trolling Cas fan here....



I honestly think you would be facing a losing battle if you were to try standing in a seating area, especially when you have two terraced stands.



True, it would be hard for a handful of stewards to force 1000+ of you to sit down so they would probably follow the same process as I have seen at Leeds Urd - the stewards know they can't get 6,000 people in the Don Revie stand to sit so they spend the first ten minutes asking you to sit down, then they start picking out at random people who are stood up and eject them. It leads to a bad atmosphere, especially when the ejected persons friends become involved.



I hate seating at sports matches by the way, especially at the older stadiums as I struggle to get my lanky legs in but likewise I hate the idea of spending £20-25 to watch a match only to be ejected.

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.

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.

i'm on the back row of the east stand, i stand all the time, never been asked to sit down, except by a leeds fan the other week, so i pointed out i couldn't because he was sat in my seat.

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