whats to stop us standing down one side?

Stewards? Or the people who are sat behind you?

sorry, think i do need to phrase it better. Is it required by law that if you are in a seated area you have to be seated? Genuine question, im not trying to be arsey.

It's just that im sure ive been to away days and been in seated areas everyone around me was stood up. If the home stewards know it as the unofficial standing area surely it would be ok?

No. Usually when it is enforced it is done so under the ground regulations of private property.

I said the same when they showed us the plans for the LSV , I desperately wanted standing down one side , rather than just the one end , as somebody commented yesterday , we now play in a ' Concrete Morgue '

Only having one side and one end open kills the atmosphere

Warrington got it spot on by having their terrace down the side and Leeds new plans for the South Stand are just whats needed.

I can't believe both Salford and Saints had their main support down the side and they are not trying to create this at the new ground.

I am a united fan and I hate liverpool but in their new stadium plans they have a large Kop style end. It is just basic common sense really.

Correct , it seems quite often that the people designing these places just don't have a clue , then again I don't have the highest regards for architects , they are just people with letters after their names , tw at ,

Doesn't phase 2 include a second upper tier of seating down the side with the phase 1 seating section being converted to standing?

I think that phase 2 is just an extra tier of seats along the side, and phase 3 involves adding the extra tiers behind the goals and converting the bottom tier to standing.

I'm sure the bottom tiers behind both goals will be standing only from day one.

Yes. What I meant was that phase three results in a fully standing lower tier, rather than just being standing behind the posts in the earlier phases.

All this talk of 'phases' is nonsense. That stadium will look exactly the same in 50 years time as it does on the day they finish it.
