I'd rather stand to watch RL as sitting down seems to dull the atmosphere. However, I dislike watching RL from either end of the pitch even more. So I'm forced to pick the lesser of two evils for me.

I miss the Shed.

The atmosphere, noise, familiar faces, funny moments and banter when the occasional group of opposition fans settled in there. The way the players always played for the Shed, looked to it to make noise and intimidate the opposition, and we were always the first place the players came to after the final whistle. Sentimental nonsense maybe, but you simply can't get that feeling back while stuck at the end of a pitch. At least to me anyway. We need to be in the middle, in the heart, being the extra man.

Not that it's likely to change though.

My sentiments exactly. I go to watch the game and I cannot see from the south stand. Whilst I miss the atmosphere of standing up I'd rather see the game.

Forget taking seats out, just stand. When has seating ever stopped Salford fans from standing? There is no need for terracing in the East.

Exactly. Even the stadium management company has indicated that they'd have no problem with this.

Any disgruntled East Stand ST holders could be upgraded to the West Stand.

i'm on the back row of the east stand, i stand all the time, never been asked to sit down, except by a leeds fan the other week, so i pointed out i couldn't because he was sat in my seat.

Move to the east stand and I'll be over there like a shot offering my much needed vocal support.
