Moving Away Fans / SSL3 /2 All City Fans.

[IOWBlue]

There are no away fans next to the KOP, and that makes loads of noise, which gets the rest of Anfield going. The same with the Stratford End. You don't need away fans next to you to make noise and to support the team. What you need is enough singers together in 1 tier or 1 block.

As a rule from what I've read on here, only a small block of fans who stand at the back of SSL3 next to the away end sing, whilst the rest of SSL3 sits and watches the match.

True. Nearly all of our away games have a good atmosphere. It isn't related to where we have been allocated in the ground. It is totally down to having no tourists, and going to the match to support your team, not just to wait to be entertained.

He means youre pissing,i singing in the wind cos the rest of the ground cant hear a peep.

NOW......if you were altogethe in the SSL3, that might be a very differnt story.

Join the crusade BMR & bring your singers with you fame and glory may await !!

Sorry but I like to be on level 1, L3 is too high up and I don't feel immersed in the atmosphere. I like it in 110 opposite the away fans, it's the best place to be, IMO of course ; )

Blame the club.............years ago there wasn't a half and half scarf to be seen or people filming away team etc.

The whole place is definitely being diluted and sanitised.

Kippax corner can't be beaten for having a laugh still.

Yep, I keep hearing stories of all the tourists going in the section.

I agree. The corner section used to be great. I was in 109 and I think it was against Juventus years ago, where it was just non stop singing. It was like that for most games. Even the concourse on derby day used to great - that’s died down now.

When the south stand expanded, the corner seemed to get worse noise wise in my opinion.

I think quite a few people left that section who were regular singers as well. Ss3 is where it’s at now noise wise.

Yeah SS L3 seems to be the area now.

There's a 50 year culture at City of the most vocal fans going near to the away fans which endured through away fans being moved stands at Maine Road and City moving ground. That's one main reason why the new North Stand is destined to fail because City would have to really push it as an atmospheric stand with cheap seats and it being mainly or entirely safe standing to overcome this tradition

Anfield and Villa Park developed their own culture where their main standing area was celebrated, to the extent where some claim the Villa song 'Holte Enders in the Sky' is a reference to when the Holte End was the highest standing terrace in the country.

And l'm not an expert on the sty but weren't k stand and united road more vocal than the stretford end?

..and in my proposal City fans would 180 degree surround away fans and be above them.

Couldnt be much closer if you were sat with them !!

SSL3/2* ....All City

NSL1/2....All City

Two ends are better than one !!

* plus 75% of SSL1

United boys abandoned the Stretford End in the mid 70s for the Scoreboard Paddock later they located to K stand, to bait away fans. All I have heard lately is how quiet OT is for most games. Lots of Liverpool boys moved into the Anfield Rd end pre and post segregation. At Elland Rd the Gelldard End was abandoned in favour of the south stand. The common denominator in all cases was the wish to confront away fans. Myself I always think a packed loud away end makes for a great atmosphere in the home stands. We had a number of boys who left the Kippax in the early 80s for the Platt Lane, they caused so much havoc that GMP insisted it be made an away stand only. For many footy will always be about confrontation. In short " boys will be boys".
