Seating At Falmer

[Shinbreath]

If we do claim the North Stand as the mayhem stand it would be kinda bitter sweet cos, in my opinion, the best areas for viewing a match would be in line with the halfway line and around halfway up the stand, (not too close to the pitch but not too far away from the action).

But I wanna be yelling my ass off with the mayhem crowd which, if its behind the goal would not offer optimum viewing pleasure. (Providing we are playing visually pleasurable football by then!!)

So do we sacrifice viewing pleasure for nostalgia (The North Stand memories), or could we start afresh and claim one of the sides stands as our own and that way we can yell at the top of our voices and see the game from the best view possible...

I'm as yet undecided but I thought i'd just throw this out there and see what you think. (You'll all probably tell me to bog off... Nostalgia rules !!!)

So I take it, from what i have read and this hasn't been discussed yet !!

I Also feel that it doesn't matter how close the awat fans are to the coach park. As like our aways fans prefer the trian and get have a few beers on route.......isn't that the away experiance . Rather than sitting on coach.... imean wondering around in your albion shirt and seeing others when your miles from home.....is fantastic .....

So should we re-take the mighty 'North Stand' ??
I also feel that the club need to know very earlier that we want it back !!

Good question....maybe if the raking behind the goal is decent enough then the North Stand would be the thing, but i agree viewing is better down the sides.


On another point, could we give a name to the singing section other than / as well as The North Stand...it's Goldstone 'nostalgious' but also a bit bland tbh.

The Downs End?

Regarding the singing section, how did they handle it when we went to gillingham, and how did they handle it when we came to withdean?

I mean did the club announce it, or did the singing fans agree among themselves?

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Singing sections is a stupid idea. The entire stadium should be a single immense cauldron of noise, flares, fireworks, and atmosphere.

 

[Miami Seagull]

I'm sure that there will be a core of singers sitting somewhere close to the away fans, probably in the single tier bit.

 

[Wilko]

Seems to me that the singing/hardcore fans should take the East stand. That means there is room for 5000 of us, we get a good view of the pitch, the away fans are to one side of us and we look on to the giant 12,000 stand in all its glory!

East, East, East siders!!!!!!

East, East, East siders!!!!!!

That is entirely sensible. But what should the east stand be called?

I would like to put forward the following two names:

-The Kanchelskis Stand
-The Doug LOFT Stand

It'll be half empty then, would much rather we created a decent atmosphere from one packed end where traditionally (Norht Stand, Kop, Clock end etc) the hardcore support is always located.

The Downs End?

Possibly the worst suggestion for a football stand since the Bell End...

East, East, East siders!!!!!!

I posted almost exactly the same message last night when I'd had a few, but it obviously didn't work... I'm all for nostalgia but I think this is the way forward, imagine watching the 12000 leap to their feet when we score against palace!

 

[Box of Frogs]

Dicks End?

The Downs End?

Is that an attempt at irony?

Surely the South and East stands will be the ones nearest the Downs. The North is the one furthest from any downland. The Railway End, maybe, or the Uni End? 'scoomb End is probably nearer the mark!

Aw mate, the thought of that just made a little bit of wee come out...

The Eastsiders is the way to go !!!!

Has anything on the subject of seating arrangements been asked about at the 'ask the club' section...
