Always baffled me this consensus that it's the opposite... Better view from the chaddy!!! where did you sit harry, on the roof? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveoafc Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 I'd like to see ( if it was possible) a bit of a concourse area at the back of the RRE......enclosed....to provide a bit of cover from the elements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it will be practical to keep it open that much longer without serious work When they knock the Main Stand down and build another identistand there won’t be a single seat in the house worth sitting in. Baffles me why anybody would want to watch a football match from any other vantage point. If there’s a finer place to watch terrible football I’m yet to see it...

I sit in the RRE, I sit amongst friends, but for my money there are not enough stands left like the main stand at BP in football. It is a throw back to the days when football was the working mans game. It holds more memories than all shite identikit stands put together. Fuck the prawn sandwich brigade and all things modern.

mcfluff1985 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 View from the MSU is perfect. I have been in the chaddy but don't remember was too young. Also Lookers but don't remember. Haven't sat in in RRE or new stand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really?! Always hated it myself. Dead gentle slope and always fucked with my depth perception. Port Vale's the same. Preferred it when they stuck us in the segregated bit of the Kippax. Love both the Sheffield clubs away ends. High up and steep with a fine view. Any stands that are steep I love. Tranmere and Notts County for starters.

we hate man,u and city to Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 (edited) Sat in there as a kid growing up. Shite atmosphere which even rochdale (with their dismal support) have probably bettered in all honesty. No nostalgia for me and the current generation. I understand others who stood up in it when they first came, i'd probably feel the same way as them. But, moving forward as a club, our fans should be 'treated' to the best facilities the club can offer. The chaddy is way behind the other stands in those terms. For that reason alone i'd keep it as is. Love being in the new north stand, near the away fans and the odd bit of banter that pops up between the 2 stands.

Best away end I can ever remember was Villa Park when Henry scored. I was only a kid, but I remember it.... very similar to sheff united lower tier.

yarddog73 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 If the Chaddy was ever replaced and returned to the home fans I'd like the end to be designed similar to Tranmere's away end. Of grounds I've most enjoyed QPR springs to mind, you almost feel like your sat on the pitch your that close to the action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Burns Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I would be all for it on the proviso that it was 100% unallocated seating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Sinnott Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Quite nostalgic about the Chaddy as it is where I first remember sitting with my mum and dad. But I have sat in the RRE a few times the past few years with my lads and I've thoroughly enjoyed it. Good view too. Keep it as it is...

Flemboy Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Always had memories of great times in the Chaddy especially when it was standing only and bouncing on the wooden floor ar the back with fellow Chaddy Enders many of who have now sadly passed away.Used to make loads of noise without any drums!! I would like to go back there but accept that the RRE has better facilities and no view restrictions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember late 70’s when I first went in the Chaddy , with the bouncy back few rows we always stood at the back left of middle, great view and atmosphere then went in the lookers from mid 80’s , those were the best times in the pinch me seasons, big cuts and bruises on my shins from jumping up and down and landing on the backs of the wooden seats in front many times, especially that third goal against Wednesday . Rochdale road end since the lookers closed , a few good days, especially beating Liverpool and staying in for ages after the match singing Matty Smith Smith. only been in the new stand once, but was a good view Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only those it affects will answer yes. It should only be a question for those who used to go in the Chaddy. I'd suggest even now that over 90% that went in the Chaddy would go back tomorrow. The take up for it for 2 games last season vs Bolton and Sheff Utd showed how many wanted to go in the Chaddy over the other stands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
