I drove past the Orrell training ground on Tuesday, it looks as though there is a lot of work going on there.

What's the obsession some fans have with standing areas Itchy? I honestly don't get it. They're terrible!

I think I may have used the incorrect terminology Phuzzy.
I actually mean standing terracing as per Wire, Saints, Salford.
Personally I prefer to stand whilst watching a game. For me it adds to the atmosphere and I can avoid the perpetual standing up and sit down whilst people go past my seat to go to the bar and/or toilets.
I know the likelihood of getting standing terracing is nil but the owd fart in me still pines for that experience for an home game.

Isn't the standing at Saints and Wire just behind the goals? Does any club have standing on the sides of the pitch?

A complaint I've heard lately is that the Brick is "too cold" because of the dreaded 'corner gaps'.

Don't most (not all) grounds have corner gaps?

At Wire we stand behind the sticks.
The terrace along the touch line to our right and facing the player's entrance is standing.
