I've seen these two claims on twitter and was wondering how accurate this might be? I've heard of the away fans one quite often but the north one is new to me.
[Albion] North Stand Expansion + Away fans to be moved

The movement of the away fans to the southwest corner has been known for a little while now - the club don't want them directly behind the goal any more.
It will be interesting to see how that changes the Albion fan dynamic - will the south stand "rival" the north?

1000 seats will be made up of corporate seats hence why staff offices removed. Some staff already relocated to be moved back when further dev is completed down the line.

When chatting to someone at the Amex I was once told that there is a plan to eventually move the police box to the north east corner, and relocate/remove the offices or dicks bar in the north so that there’s scope to add extra seats. If anything it sounded like revisiting the shelf we once saw those plans for. Could have been total bollox though.

I would definitely have a move to the ST the two different songs at once NS is exhausting.

That's disappointing actually, United recently took away all hospitality in the Stretford end, but we want to put it in. If that happens I just think atmosphere will get worse

I don't think any of these are exclusives as such, in that there's planning permission approved for a new corporate shelf to make the North like the South, and Barber has said the away fans will be moved.
It's the specifics that are interesting though W1A will piss off a lot of West standers who pay more, and 1000 seats in the North seems unlikely. But...maybe?

The Amex would then match the Goldstone in the 70s, where the South could sometimes rival the North for atmosphere; the West was where the posh seats were; and the East was so silent you could hear someone at the other end of the terrace opening their packet of Wagon Wheels.

Righto.
I'm sure any SW fans will be delighted to stare into the sun in order to prevent 'away' scarves showing on MotD.

I've sat in that corner a few times, including on a crisp, sunny afternoon.
I'd wager many would relish the opportunity to up sticks and make camp elsewhere.

The club will build on the embankment behind the East Stand like on the original plans but I believe it will be office space.

I'd much rather they put the away fans in half the south and the south-east corner. The SW corner is fine as it is.
The assumption is that the previous planning permission fingered in the thread below is still valid and the original plan to put a 1901 box in the North East Corner and a 1901 ‘shelf’ and ‘lounge’ in the North Stand (2nd floor) is now happening after the erection of the fan zone has climaxed?
[Albion] - Amex expansion.
Any news on the Falmer village (parish?) Meeting that was due to discuss our planning application for an additional 2000 seats? We had come to the conclusion that the application was for an additional 200 seats not 2000 but we can hope. :smile:
