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

[Giraffe]

It’ll be south west corner and a couple of blocks of west lower.

What’s the advantage of this over the opposite corner in the South East where there are less season ticket holders to move?

Exactly, and the sun in the face

Only that it’ll be no inconvenience for those Albion supporters moving from the SW corner to the South and only a slight inconvenience moving from WL south end, just a minor change of aspect.

 

[Invicta]

Put them in the North between the 2 different singing areas. Liven it up a bit.

Yes it will be a bloody inconvenience I chose my seats in the swc for a reason

 

[John Byrnes Mullet]

Just need an upper tier in the North Stand adding another 2k and we have an atmosphere.

Can we DO that?

No

I’m not saying it’s my choice, just that it’s what I can see happening. Whatever they do it’s going to piss people off.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

To maximise revenue (Hi Barbs) maybe we could operate a timeshare arrangement in the east, where the away fans take over the seat on the 72nd minute?



Wheeeeeeeeey

Never going to happen in a million years.

But maybe your 2000 fans could have a sing-song in their existing seats?

Wheeeeeeeeey

Or west when it could start in the 65th

If we want to improve the atmosphere in the north stand then move the away supporters to the north stand.

It’s been tried, the Arsenal league cup match in 1979. It didn’t end well

No. For an atmosphere, you need Russ Abbott

 

[Van Cleef]

I'd like to propose Victoria Crosses be pre-awarded to all the poor sods in supporter services in recognition of their supreme sacrifice in the face of biblical levels of whingeing.

 

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

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

So basically you want to kill off the last chance there is of an atmosphere ever being created at The Amex?
We can’t have one, so nor can you

 

[knekkebrød]

Pruszkow (Poland)

We could look to Poland for inspiration =D

 

[Vicar!]

Stick them in Portslade, it worked well at the Withdean.

 

[Vaughan Storm]

Adding an extra tier in the north I don't think would do anything, but adding extra rows behind it (still as a single tier), sounds good to me

A number of stadiums keep away fans in upper tiers from memory?

Think you'll find Newcastle are the only one. I believe EPL rules are that away fans must have pitch side seats but Newcastle have got away with it for years due to claims it's not possible to move them.
