Being in the shade spoils the game for me as I get cold and prefer a warmer temperature.

Swings and roundabouts.

I could put on a jumper like others could put on sunglasses, a hat or even sun cream. Sun doesn't automatically equal skin cancer.

Not everyone can be happy but we can't move the whole stand based on a minority who don't like the sun for various reasons. Thousands of people lining beaches enjoy the sunshine tells you where the majority is.

"Spending time under beach umbrellas, wearing hats and beach cover-ups and using sunscreen are all ways to enjoy your beach holiday while reducing your risk of skin cancer." And yer I suppose sitting on a beach for hours on end is comparable to 80 minutes with a break half way through. Worst argument ever.

My argument was with people cooking themselves on the beach, not with those who like to sit in the Etihad stand.

Though I'm in agreement with Alison. My arguments against the Etihad are to do with glare from the sun, distance from pitch and distance from the subs bench. For daytime games, a seat at the back of the stand (like mine) ensures that you're not in the sun, though doesn't eliminate the glare or distance problems. Different story for evening games, but they're not a problem for me as they'll be on Sky so I'll stay home.

Sky did this for one game, but never repeated it. Presumably the west stand is provided with facilities that they need.

There isn't an argument there though. People sit on the beach and enjoy themselves safely - also possible at a rugby match.

Wear a pair of sunglasses and suncream if you've got such a massive issue - like people do on a beach. I didn't notice many people complaining on Saturday, just people relaxing, enjoying the sunshine and the match.

This isn't an attack on you personally btw, just this ridiculous argument in general.

people could always sit in the north stand with the flatcappers

This sunshine thread must give the club ammo to think that some of our fans will find anything to moan about. I bet that there is no thread bleating about the sun on any other club site, In fact some up north would welcome the sun. NB I am a person who avoids the sun at every juncture. Maybe the club could sell Quins burqas for those who want to cover up.
