Richard - I agree with what you say but the bottom line is that there is nowhere else for it to go for the TEST.
The uncovered wings are the only part of the stadium where you can be certain of not displacing users from their normal seats as there are no season tickets for those areas. As LG has said, the other end was not considered because of safety issues or the fear that some of the "munch bunch" might be woken from their slumber.
I am sure the club will be well aware of the acoustic problem of that area and will be more interested in the quantity of people who go there for this test. If it is a success then ideally a section of the north stand behind the goals would be perfect for next season - if people who dont want to sing can be persuaded to give up seats to accomodate it .
We are quick to have a go at the club (and chief exec) if we think they have screwed something up so fair play to them (and LG) for acting quickly on this suggestion to see if it has merit.
Fair enough Scotty, however if the singing section is placed into section a, and lets hope its a success, what are the chances of it being moved to another place in the stadium, say A B OR C in the north stand?
I can see the management saying 'we cant move season tkt holders blah blah blah,' so just stay there, and i'll tell ya now, it wont last there, just wait till the bad weather.
