NewBlue Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 What facilities does the RRE have that are much better than anywhere else in the ground? Do the toilets not smell or something? The main reason it's better is the elevated view. Lucky if you have a season ticket in one of the few unobstructed views in the Chaddy, but if you don't then you either are blocked by stanchions or are sitting at pitch-level, and you pay more. When it comes to the rain that drifts up the stand, we have enough spare seats so that anybody who cares about avoiding it can find themself a dry spot. Additionally it has a bigger concourse and tends to be more conducive to a decent atmosphere. I'm not that arsed really - prefer sitting in the RRE for the reasons above but having a decent atmosphere bothers me more than seating arrangements - though a neutral would almost certainly say the RRE is better. If safe standing came into fashion I'd like to see the Chaddy reverted back to a terrace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diego_Sideburns Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Cant see any post number references on a mobile Diego. Post #2201: paul whitehead @pauloaafc · 55m 55 minutes ago Yes the steps were wet. The reason? The flashings & gutters aren't on the roof & plant deck yet so water is running down & out via the steps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewBlue Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Am I imagining things or is there going to be solar panels on the roof of the new stand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SavageTheBeast Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Am I imagining things or is there going to be solar panels on the roof of the new stand? I'm sure there is regulations in place with new builds that they have to be more Eco-friendly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laticsrblue Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Am I imagining things or is there going to be solar panels on the roof of the new stand? I'm sure something was said about them during a recent video, when they were wandering around near the roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueatheart Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 More fans sit in the Chaddy than the RRE. You make the fewest move, causes less upset by default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 More fans sit in the Chaddy than the RRE. You make the fewest move, causes less upset by default. Up until around 6 months ago I would have disagreed, but recently the rre seems to be home to fewer and fewer, seems to me the chaddy has had more than the rre in terms of home fans lately. I'm not particularly bothered where the away fans sit as long as they're not moved to the paddock ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 The 'Athleticos' were forced into the Chaddy by the club; if they were given the freedom of choice you'd see a lot more Latics' fans opting for the RRE over the CE, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diego_Sideburns Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 If Latics need ideas for the Supporters Bar in the new stand, look no further than Crawley Town’s Redz Bar. Great layout with Club memorabilia, big screen and small screens for live sport, a DJ/band area, dance floor, separate bottle bar and food counter. Oh and a happy hour from 12noon to 1:00pm on match days. The venue is also available for parties up to 200 people with buffet menu options available.
