At the end of the day the club do need to think about what will make the match experience the best it can be while also not chucking money away by opening the whole stadium.

There is no doubt that the Lexus (or LV) is the best view and now that it seems the the North Stand is open more than before the solution is surely to give the fans the best value by giving them the best view and overcoming some issues about the match experience

Whatever the arguments the club need to enhance the experience to make people want to come and watch games. Despite half of the season going past it seems that the basics are simply not in place such as stewarding etc and sadly these are all things that will put doubt in peoples minds

Fans need to leave the stadium wishing time away for the next match not mumbling about the view because of the sun, the fact that they couldn't sit in their seat etc

These are basics which should be sorted by now but sadly we seem no further forward

Do you think the views on here are the majority expressing there concerns or just a few.

I was in the Army for a long time and used to make every one( the Regt) do PT/play sport on a Wednesday afternoon(sport afternoon in the Army). The CO came to me once having held a meeting with the Regt and said the blokes are moaning because you are making them play sport. I said is that the blokes in general or the fat Bast*rds who cant play sport who are complaining. After deliberation, yes when you come to mention it.......

So back on thread- one bloke who doeasnt like the sun thinks we will open a stand for him. Are you the one that wants a warning on a packet of peanuts that says- Contains nuts. Get with it.

I guess we will never know for sure but of course it will be the minority

Still think that a change to open the LV rather than the East Stand will be the right thing next season though

Seems the club were forced/chose to be dictated to by SKY/BBC by using the East Stand so the ground looked full but given the recent past, I can see no reason why the club should pander to SKY given the treatment they have given this season and the BBC think that RL is not played south of Warrington anyway

Time to put the fans first rather than TV

Who are you talking to Sky, RFL or Quins?

Wigans Football chairman(Whelan) was on TV saying he is going to give tickets away free to the community as TV sponsorship revenue is that high-Do we need supporters (Hypothetically of course)

How much do Real Madrid make from tickets when they have paid Ronaldo(500 000) and Kaka what ever he gets. Ticket revenue these days is small fry.

If Sky want they will get-simple

Too right the East Stand has a very poor atmosphere but do you think fans will ever but put first?

Quins

And not only specifically on this subject. Its a general statement that the fans are NOT put first

Its only my view before its shouted down

So what is the solution to the East Stand having a poor atmosphere? The problem is not the stand itself but the people who are in it.

Sky's money makes RL a full time professional sport. No sky money means its an amateur game with the sport retreating back to the M62.

Do you really want to put two fingers up to them?

My ST seat in block AH was in full sun for the whole of the game. Also, my eyesight isn't too brilliant. And I don't like sitting in the sun anyway.

But none of that gave me any problems at all yesterday. I was able to watch the match in comfort with an excellent view.

Same can be said from my perch in AG.
