Relocation of away fans

[Fame Monster]

A few years ago, there was talk of moving the away fans so we could unify 111 and the South Stand to create a big singing section. The argument against it was that the current location of away fans increased the atmosphere either side. But given that the club have now virtually corporatised and sterilised one of the sections next to the away fans (the 93:20 bit), the atmosphere has become like a library there. So that argument doesn't really hold water anymore.

So given that we've just built a third tier, isn't it time we moved the away fans up there?

Yes this is true - unless you’re the Rags then they’ve waved it claiming disabled fans don’t count... or Newcastle for some unknown fucking reason.

Yes PL insist that where achievable you have to give a certain percentage of pitch side seats for away fans, tell Newcastle and others this though. They just throw the safety card in.

Other option would be to move away fans to opposite corner of SS, but police kicked up a fuss saying that where the away fans are now is nice and easy to transport fans in and out of the ground. So now that the are there they stay there.

Taking Saturdays game in to consideration to join kippax and 114 /115 / 116 together would be a great idea.

I find that stadium a joke for away fans, worse in the prem by far, almost of a par with piss taking Barca !

Same discussion/argument we have every time this subject comes up. Point is, they're not going to allow a club that currently complies with their rules to become non compliant

Much as it pisses us all off, I fear that the dippers might get over the line with the continuation of shit decisions going their way again, combined with the effect all our injuries are having on the team.

I personally am not desperate to win the CL , but if we won it and the feral twats won the PL, it would be a little consolation , albeit the scruffy cnuts would find a way of devaluing it without any semblance of hypocrisy !
