Some proper hard cases in Block 5.I’m all for an uncomfortable and intimidating environment for away fans, they won’t get that with block 5 on their left.
I think away fans will always be behind the goal in some way. The configuration of the stadium won't allow them in the corners as its where most home fans arrive and exit from under the railway tracksThe Demand won’t be there to fill it now, that’s why they are trialling it for this game. You’re not going to trial it for the first time when it’s fully sold out are you could be carnage. It will be a learning process for them. Brilliant idea. We don’t want away fans behind the goal.
Went to Manchester City v Palace just before covid. A single row of police officers and two rows of empty seats. We were right there. Atmosphere was brilliant. Not the slightest bit of trouble. Banter was top class.Watched West Ham v Arsenal yesterday and the gap between the two sets of fans remember London rivals, was about 5/6 seats wide with two lines of stewards and a few old bill at the front but it is down to the chavs and they ain’t all kids to make it work
Does it matter? The chances are, fans will migrate from 15,16,17 anyway. The atmosphere may well stifle away fans.I’m all for an uncomfortable and intimidating environment for away fans, they won’t get that with block 5 on their left.
Whose.Who cares what the away Fans requirements are, who’s side are you on?
You’d be surprised. What is it about being hard? The fans over there do give the away supporters some stick. They are not the PSB and are as partisan as anywhere except 15,16 etc.Some proper hard cases in Block 5.
Predictive Tex.Whose.

Some tried against Millwall!We won't
Really? Because it was pretty non eventful yesterday in the cornerSome tried against Millwall!

Not sure people are as attached to being in a particular block as some people think. Look at the number of people who have moved to the family zone with seemingly non-existent kids because it's cheaper.We won't
After both goals, particularly the first though. That's the issue with block 13 empty for them to run across. If it was full they had nowhere to run so would just be stood there.Really? Because it was pretty non eventful yesterday in the corner

Oh, that is different from trying to get in the south standAfter both goals, particularly the first though. That's the issue with block 13 empty for them to run across. If it was full they had nowhere to run so would just be stood there.
see above, that is very different to what was suggestedThere was a group who tried to run towards them after the second goal, I think it was, but it wasn't anything major, just a bit of taunting from a distance.
The issue is there is likely no need to move, the "trial" is actually using the configuration that we used against Boro in the play offs.Not sure people are as attached to being in a particular block as some people think.

It's a count.Predictive Tex.
Mind you at £30/£40 a ticket and all ticket matches people behave. I don’t know how true this is but I was told at City if a fan is ejected for basically being an arsehole they are not allowed a ticket or entrance with their ST for three matches. I think all their fans have membership cards and there’s a waiting list, I wonder why ??Went to Manchester City v Palace just before covid.

Treat people with respect get respect back. Treat them like animals and some will take advantage.
Or maybe some also go in there with the thought that less idiots will go in there.Not sure people are as attached to being in a particular block as some people think. Look at the number of people who have moved to the family zone with seemingly non-existent kids because it's cheaper.
I was in the away end. That wasn't a deterrent for them.Mind you at £30/£40 a ticket and all ticket matches people behave.

Good deterrent I’d say, in this day and age you have to have it.
Don’t suppose it works that well v Man United though I admit.I was in the away end. That wasn't a deterrent for them.
I would say a full single row of police and some stewards from top to bottom was more of a deterrent. It wouldn't be cheap but the extra income from extra tickets being available would more than compensate for it. And most would probably already be there to police the game anyway.
Wouldn't have a clue. Went with mates who support Palace. Don't ever go to games with glory supporters.Don’t suppose it works that well v Man United though I admit.
