Exactly. Although it seems odd that we need to trial it all given we split the south Stand for the play off semi.
You don’t want to trial it for a sell out, if you have problems they get amplified ten times.
Was going to add, I guess they might be trialling something in prep for the Leeds game?You don’t want to trial it for a sell out, if you have problems they get amplified ten times.
The vilification of the supporters - 99% of whom are season ticket holders - who stand in 14/15/16 is a disgrace. Name-calling the people who actually create an atmosphere at games and make it a better experience for every one else in the stadium is shameful.
Haven't seen anyone doing that.
The whole corner have been called chavs twice that i've seen
I think you are referring to me. When I said chavs don’t fuck it up. I was referring to the people who will be sitting in the new opened area. And if anyone fucks it up it will be the chavs, the coke snorting one’s who couldn’t fight out a wet paper bag.The whole corner have been called chavs twice that i've seen
they made noise but did you hear them sing. Not a good look when they can’t string 2 words together. What was the point in that. Noise yes. Creativity ..,nothing.They weren't rubbish compared to many other bigger away followings.
Why will they? There's less chance at issues because behind the goal everyone is on the same level. At the moment because of how 14 curves around there's more opportunity for fans to face and goad each other. This will be far easier to police and there will still be separation.

It’s taste and fancy though isn’t itI know you're not the only one thinking this, but I really don't get it. Doing what they've done means we've got fans behind both goals (just!). I want away fans shoved in the worst spot, and that's what this is to me. Plus, it's the way the stadium was built.
The only issue I can see is standing. Some will want to stand in those blocks, lots won't. Hard to police and enforce when it's next to whole blocks that stand all game. Hopefully it self-regulates and people figure out whether it's the right area for them or not.
Because we have some feral little tramps who attend games to spend 90 minutes trying to 'kick off'
Did we? As I said they were very quiet from block 15 and the little noise they made was mocked.Since when is creativity an important factor in away support ? Never heard of "creativity" as something anyone refers to in football atmosphere They made a noise. There weren't many of them. No one likes them, they don't care . We all heard that .
Fair play.
I was in the north stand. We could all hear them. Considering there were probably less than 1000 they made themselves heard. Couldn't care less what noise they make, the important thing is they made themselves heard.they made noise but did you hear them sing. Not a good look when they can’t string 2 words together.

You were probably on your phone to your IRA mates all match.Did we? As I said they were very quiet from block 15 and the little noise they made was mocked.
Definitely, just put elastic bands round them.Sorry for being off topic

Can you translate their other chant for me as well? I thought they were about to break into some Gregorian chanting for a minute.
Are lot of them are on a banning orderBlock 5 is full of ex-legion isn't it?
Very much so. Wasn't it after a Preston game there was a bit of trouble, so they pushed the away fans as far away as possible. And that didn't work either. Some Coventry fan broke the barrier and slapped some Sheffield United fan, and still made his way back into the crowd, unbelievable.Although demand for tickets has been high, how many games have we actually sold all available tickets for??.....
Won't this just spread out the demand making parts of the ground look a little more sparsely populated than currently!?
Preston seems a strange game to try this ... Not really likely to sell out with the ground in its current state .....is it!???
Why? Sounds logistically more difficult.Right idea but they’ve got it wrong still. Even though I still don’t think the demand is there to sell out, keep away fans where they are, and leave B6-9 to home fans. Perfect.
RegulationsWho cares what the away Fans requirements are, who’s side are you on?
If that’s the plan, why trial it the other way round?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.
The plan is that city fans will be in 6,7,8, 9 etc and the away fans in the rest and then to turn the corner into safe standing.
It's not an attachment to the corner, it is more a case of what the configuration will be like in the future.
No they are not, Norwich and West Brom.Regulations
”The clubs are allocated 3,000 tickets or 10% of the stadium capacity if lower, for away league matches. For League Cup matches the away allocation is 10% of stadium capacity and for FA Cup matches the away allocation is 15% of stadium capacity.”
I think SAG can impact the number. Anyway, was just quoting an article.No they are not, Norwich and West Brom.
Only give us 2k
