[Albion] Away fans to be moved at the Amex from 2027/28 (was 2025/26)

[Cowfold Seagull]

Good to hear that there are plans to move the away fans at last.

Depends where they want to move them to, they aint having my seat in the Lower West!

 

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

No its season after next. I think it's a good thing. If I had an Ideal Id put them East upper/lower north end.

Oh I see. Your “ideal” is put them where I’ve sat for 12 years.
Just as long as you’re not inconvenienced

I've always found the debate around this suggestion rather tedious. I honestly can't see that it makes any significant difference, and am very surprised that the club are bothering to create all the extra work and p1ssoff a load of loyal fans, for such an intangible benefit.

 

[HangletonGull]

I’m not moving my season tickets from the swc

 

[Wes Tupper]

Isn't that where the players F&F are placed ? Seems unlikely they'd displace them.

Unless the F&F would actually prefer to be in the West.

 

[HangletonGull]

This is what I think it will be, too as it will disrupt far less STH's in the SWC.

I don't get the views of putting away fans in the SW, just so they are picked up less by TV cameras. How would that make any difference at all to the atmosphere inside the ground?

It will disrupt my 4 season tickets im not moving

Yup, this. it's complete nonsense. Moving the away fans will not improve the atmosphere. That's down to the home fans. Always was, always will be

Far better to displace a load of freeloaders than genuine fans - they also take up too much of our away allocation at the moment

They don't have to move them from the south entirely, just a couple of blocks so they are no longer directly behind the goal. 'Claim' back 2 blocks in the lower east and give any STHs who have to move a free season, a lot of the those seats are not STH anyway. Logistically they would only need to install a barrier similar to the ones which already divides the south from the East and SW.

This thread makes very funny reading - a great example of Nimbyism - most people seem to agree in principle that it’s an acceptable idea to move away fans out of the South but nobody wants to be near them ( including me)

(Did someone earlier suggest the coach park and set up a screen for them outside?)

NIMBY is the word, nimby, not nibby

Thanks for your support
SMASH THE TORIES

East Upper.

The librarian won't like that....

Shhh!

 

[el punal]

The solution is so easy. Keep the away fans in the South Stand but turn the seats around 180 degrees, then they can do their very own ‘Poznań’ and look complete twats.

 

[kevo]

I am shuddering at the mere thought of the MASSIVE meltdown on here when some people find out they have to move seats...

This already has the potential to be one of the most commented-on threads on NSC (Jonathan Calleri, watch your back).

 

[el punal]

Good god let’s hope Newcastle aren’t the team selected for the opening day.

Even worse - Leeds, if they get promoted. The thought of flabby, white, jelly wobble flesh bouncing around makes me want to

And there in lies a key issue. Thankfully I don't think they'll be eying up my WSU on halfway for away fans.

 

[RandyWanger]

Needs doing in my opinion. Fans have plenty of notice and a couple cup games next season to try a new area. I'm all for it.

The roof is lower over the southeast corner than the southwest corner. The acoustics will be worse there. Split the away fans between the southwest corner wedge and the shelf above it. Make them sell the shelf allocation first to ensure the diehard fans are the furthest from the action. Change all the beer taps to Fosters and serve them rustlers burgers and pukka pies. Pipe the Cheeky Girls greatest hits into the concourse at 2,000 dB pre-match and make fans carrying flags or scarves hand them in as potentially dangerous items.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Split em across the upper & lower east - so much harder to get an atmosphere going that way.

No thanks

So u’ll be quite happy to move then?

..why does it need to be done?
