This is excellent news
Fingers crossed they go towards the north stand (preferably west stand near the north so out of camera)
Im sure the north stand faithful would enjoy the singing between the 2 sets of fans and we could be looking forward to a much more noisy atmosphere at home games
Plus...
The manager and players often report of the armosphere at the amex being great post match. So its either not quite accurate or the acoustics really do drive all the noise onto the pitch and not across to the other stands
Putting a huge singing section in the middle of the north would help for...
Good point. So the club must also believe a LOT more could be done to improve it at home
I'm sure we'll never create the amazing noise and spectacle of the 3 euro away games with their incredible noise (especially in Marseille p), flags, drums and flares. (Which is a shame) but there is lots of...
Yes, 100% believe having the away end in the east stand north end or west stand north end would hugely improve the atmosphere
The NS know pretty much none of the singing ever reaches the South which seems a waste and you dont get that back and forth atmopshere
So yes most PL home ground crowds are poor except a few. However we must be able to improve the state of our crowd at home
For 2 of our best players to have to keep waving their arms around to gee-up the crowd isn't great
The north sang for most of the game. But people towards the south...
3 things would make a huge beneficial difference IMO;
1. Move the away end next to the north (works well at most other ground to create atmosphere - esp places like derby)
2. Extend the North stand so its more banked with more capacity
3. Let us keep our bottle tops !!
Ideally we could just be give a massive kop-style Proper terrace. No rails. Just simple terracing like top flight rugby and leagues 1 and below in football - none of which seem to have recorded any major issues??
Weird its ok for the lower leagues and rugby.
A lovely steep north stand terrace...
That's sort of the point though
North stand im sure majority would want it. South, East and West stands wouldnt which is totally fair, hence only safe standing put into the North?
I see even bournemouth have implemented safe standing now along with a host of other PL grounds in home and away ends.
There was talk of it recently. Any chance we may actually have a chance now with our recently released healthy looking accounts?
It would be nice to cater for all fans, the...
Having got back from Rome and also considering Anthens and Marseille, why have the FA managed to turn English football grounds into such a Health & Safety bore-fest?
I know the whole drum thing is marmite here, but the constant singing, multiple flares throughout the game, masses of flags and...
Hows the remaining tickets looking please?
Do we know if all 3.5k have been released or are there more to come online out of that 3.5k?
Chances of friday afternoon availability?
