I don't think its the seats that are getting smaller ...

Oi, I resemble that remark.

I thought the new stand was good by comparison, the concourse was spacious, the beverage queue moved quickly (although I rarely queued because conveniently the same time I polished a bottle off, the guy with the backpack full of fresh ones happened to walk past at the same time

)



The seat space, for me, I thought was good as I have sat in tighter spaces in a sports stadium.



The view was good (from row N at least). I did find it a tad strange the stand didn't have direct turnstile access as opposed to entering from the side of the ground. Toilets were arguably in demand, unless you go a couple of minutes before the half time hooter.



In response to thread title, the atmosphere was good from our section. The home crowd was fairly quiet for the majority of the game BUT to be fair their team didn't give them much to shout about other than the single try scored. I've been to Headingly where we ourselves have been quiet for large parts of a game.

I thought it was fine too - the atmosphere was better than most games at funereal Headingley in recent times, just not as noisy as it has been at New Craven Park in most of our games there - the way things turned out on the field probably dictated that.



The arrangements in the new stand were good, and room in the seats OK. Why on earth does the OP think Hull KR should have bothered to ensure the Leeds fans were all together? Rightly, the centre sections of the stand are reserved for home ticket holders. Most away teams probably won't spill over from more than one side of the stand anyway.



All in all a great improvement on the previous setup.

The best 'stand' at Headingley has no seating . HTH

Yeah... and it's not even a stand, it's a terrace.

It is common practice to stand in the South 'Stand' . Kind of self explanitory don't you think .. As also is the WEsT Terrace .

I wouldn't say it was self-explanatory, all Premiership football grounds have stands but you can't stand in any of them (well technically you could stand simply by not sitting down, but you know what I mean). Our North Stand is all seating as well.



It's the Western Terrace by the way, if we're being really picky.

A "stand" is roof covered and a "terrace" is not......

The level of prickery was certainly less in the new stand at HKR than it is in the South Stand at Headingley.

Nowhere to sit?! Nowhere to put your drink?! Are you kidding me?! IS THIS SOME KIND OF JOKE?! Please tell me someone informed the police about all this?

Got to say the view we had was absolutely pants, we may as we'll have been in the opposite end with the kids holding binoculars. We had tickets from the original allocation in block A. Whoever thought it was a good idea to build a new stand 20 yards wider than the pitch wants their head looking at. We had a great view of heads in The Well and the side of the West Stand. It seems to me HKR were more concerned about buildings for everyday use rather than match day spectators. As for the A road running between us and the pitch, god knows why that's there. Maybe they were expecting access for a Sherman tank at some point. They should have built an extra block of toilets where block A currently stands judging by the queues at half time. All in all, a right load of crap. Architects eh ?
