Spion Kop

[Notters]

Right, I knew that the ends of many football grounds are called The Kop or The Spion Kop after a Mountain / Battle in the Boer War. e.g. Anfield, Hillsborough... I was wondering just how many clubs have a Kop end, so I had I look on Wikipedia. In the table "Kops" It has Withdean Stadium - Brighton and Hove Albion - The East Stand Kop. What the **** is that about?

Lander probably changed it when he was obsessed with the East Stand being amazing and having a great atmosphere

The "chicken run" at the Goldstone was also known as the Spion Kop. Perhaps someone is confused?

Really? Never heard that myself - what sort of era are we talking about?

Possibly 1920's and 1930's

I thought the north east corner was the Spion Kop & the east stand was the chicken run.
