I think the fact its being discussed on here and talked about by the away fans
WE DO have one of the better stadiums in the league
Good facilities, good bar, decent toilets

East west stand debate!! and compairing it to saints wakey and cas, big difference is with what those 3 have, they make the best of what they have
We oops, the club (ok driven by sky) have been driven to make the worst of what we have
Even the club agree with that otherwise last years season ticket prices would not have had the east stand as the cheap seats!!

so the club by default have admitted that these are poorer seats than over in the west
And i believe the yawnion ticket prices also reflect this, west stand in the prefered, therefore they can charge more
Why do I think the west is better than where we are now
1. Smaller walkway, so closer to the pitch
2. You actually can interact with the players and the coach etc
3. the time we play the sun is not gonna be in yr eyes for most game, ok on the negative it means you sit in the shade (my other half whinges about that so hey)
4. Better facliities eg toilets and better bar for pre match anyhow

Ok so its a financial reason why we went this way, but have to ask the question why go for the worst option of those available?

ooh and Listy with reference to my comment about not sitting in my allocated seat, was not a complaint, it was a statement, i sit in a better seat thats not occupied in a better part of the stand, why? because i can!!

Sky have set the criteria, they are the pay master- nothing more we can do.

Not for the 12 or so games that are not on SKY they are not

I understand your point. But sometimes people have to just like it and lump it and make the best of whats available instead of complaining.

Problem is Dave that the club are not in the luxurious position of being able to tell their customers to like it or lump it.

Crowds are a major problem and something has to be done to address it. I am not saying moving to the Lexus is the only answer, the answer has to be in a number of initiatives but it could be that this is one that may help

Sadly nothing can be dismissed in such a blase way

The club are not in a position to open two stands either so we might as well face up to it and get on with life. If people are really that fickle that they see this as an issue to stop them supporting the club then I dispair and the club might as well give up now.

I've complained about plenty of things before but I am still VERY satifisied with my match day experience. And you get people bleating about the weather and people say I moan? Unbelievable.

It's more important to me to make friends with my fellow supporters, enjoy the league, have a bit of a sing song and a couple of beers in the bar with whoever wants to drink with me, home or away supporters.

That's why Quins is good.

got to think there are a lot of dumb people out there if you've not worked out that the stand faces the sun yet.

Lexus might be closer to the pitch but give me a cold beer and a nice seat in the sun anytime than sitting in the dark.

Still agree there should be more than one stand open but to not have the foresight to bring sunnies is just plain stupid, Its britian ffs, weather changes, even when its raining you should have em on you.
