[Albion] North Stand Expansion + Away fans to be moved

[mothy]

Away fans should be in the south east. Not south west

Some more prawn sandwich seats will do wonders for the atmosphere.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

This next relocation of the away fans could be atmosphere-defining.

Probably better than getting crabs.

They can rattle their jewellery.

I'm definitely a fan of shifting the away fans to the SW corner. Pisses me off NO END seeing thousands of them CAVORTING behind our goal whenever the away team scores. Get them out of my sightline. Get them off the telly. Begone with them.

There was one delightful exception though...

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Make the south safe standing and sit/stand where you want and watch the atmosphere soar.

Yes, I know it won't happen.

 

[HeaviestTed]

Should be SE, get the sun in the face

Were you in England in the summer of ‘24? I think the sun came out for about 5 mins

By the way how is the fan zone coming along?

Coming along as quickly as the documentary.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

It will be interesting to see how that changes the Albion fan dynamic - will the south stand "rival" the north?

Could we end up with two stands singing 4 different songs?

We can see you dining aaaaaaaaught

 

[Mellotron]

Good to see it only took the club 14 years to figure out a solution to an issue we could all see on day one...

(Please take this in the jovial nature intended)

 

[Silver f Chariot]

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

Can the atmosphere get any worse?

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

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.

This. Seems to me that the SW corner does a pretty good job of generating a decent bit of atmosphere out of all proportion to their numbers

 

[Milano]

They only need to move 2 sections so they're not behind the goal anymore, it must be crap for our keeper for 45 mins at the moment. I can't see the move being to the SW corner and W1A, that would mean away fans directly under 1901 and Exec boxes, plus it means the away entrances/exits would move to the West, I can't see the police wanting that or the club as it's then very close to the main/exec entrances. Far more likely to be the first section in east lower.

I don't really care what it looks like on TV. The move is long overdue.

Is that because they are next to the away fans though? What will happen when they aren't?

 

[casbom]

All we need to improve the atmosphere is a drum and a co-ordinator of songs....right?

 

[atomised]

Is that because they are next to the away fans though? What will happen when they aren't?

surely if many of those move across to the south as they lose their SWC seats they will still be next to the away fans just the opposite side

 

[METALMICKY]

It's about time we started treating away fans like dogshit, as they do to us. Bring it on.

You mean Newcastle!
