Hi all!

Ahhh sunny Consett.
Spent many a happy time at AS & T trying to resolve issues. Fortunately changed roles where I work so haven't been up there for a while.
Used to stop in the Raven (stange place)!

Can recommend the West stand for a good singalong and better views. South Stand, more compact and favoured by many of our supporters not yet in their twilight years. North stand is a strange place and we don't go there (usually full of people who talk funny, unless it's Huddersfield in which case it's empty). East stand, OK if you have a liking for prawn sandwiches and quiche!

I think you've got East and West mixed up, haven't you?

If you go to the South stand bar it's usually open around 1.5 hours before KO and agains after the game.
£1 to get in (covers before and after) but is limited space.
Mean Dean comes out before the game and gives squad news, we used to have coaches Man of Match after the game, but don't know if this will continue with Nobbie.
Let us know if your going to come in and i'll find you somehow

rename the stands at the JJB something like...
Leeds Liv Stand (east), Marsh green (west) stand, th'asda stand (south) and North stand could be Wasteland Stand.

ok, so maybe the top of the east may be more lively. i normally sit middle-east stand towards the bottom row F-L if i can so i wouldnt know of late the singing contests.
I hate the south stand thoug, full of kids and chavs.

We used to go in the South Stand until a few years ago, and enjoyed the atmosphere. The only reason we moved to the East was for reserved seats, I hate having to go early and sit through all the pre-match "entertainment" just to get a decent seat.
If the club made the South reserved seating I'd move back like a shot..I prefer to watch from behind the sticks, as I did at CP.
