Monty Burns Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I did 2 seasons in there as a season ticket holder before it was pulled down and have never got as wet as I did those 2 season in my life. The wind loves blowing the rain into your face on that side. A bigger roof wouldn't prevent wind blowing the rain in! Could have saved load$$$$$ by leaving the roof off!!!!! SCmissed a trick there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stainrod Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I have heard, from a usually good source (although he let me down over something earlier this season), that the Chaddy End will be exclusively for away fans next season. This could be why we now look to attack the RRE in the second half, part of a cunning plan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diego_Sideburns Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 The roof is on but the flashings aren't - Paul Whitehead on twitter 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...

LaticMark Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 At times during the match yesterday I could feel the rain, which was blowing under the main stand, and I sit 8 rows back in the paddock. If you want to stay dry in the new North Stand I'd sit in one of the back 4 or 5 rows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laticsrblue Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Seats area looks drenched, I wonder which will be the areas to avoid when considering a season ticket?

piglinbland Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 SHOCK HORROR! Rain is wet and sometimes comes down sideways, the sun travels from East to West in the sky every day and if you leave your house you may get wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave_ragg1984 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 If the chaddy end was full every week then I'd be worried about losing a large number of regulars. But it's painfully empty even when the away fans get the whole of the RRE it'll be a sad day to see away fans in there but we must move with the times. I can see the arguments for and against the RRE being exclusively the home end but the facilities are much better - apart from the first few rows being open to the elements and the sun in eyes issue. What facilities does the RRE have that are much better than anywhere else in the ground? Do the toilets not smell or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yo mean the first 1/2 off the stand. hat's over 2000 seats, which reflects very poor facilities to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
