Who takes their places in the South Stand though? Do they remove the safe standing and will the new supporters want to be so near the away support? Not sure I’d move too close to them. It’ll be interesting to see how it’s done.
Why can’t we have two standing ends?

If the move does happen a few could be left behind to form a line either side of the away fans for menace purposes to stand crossed arms.

Can’t see them moving anybody out of there to accommodate them who want to move over from the S/S let alone offer free tickets to anyone.. think at most they may reduce the F/S to the bottom tier .
I’m sure it’s been said plenty but a lot of the younger fans want to be near the away fans to bounce off them, my lad and his m8s 16 to 18 take every opportunity they can get now there a bit older to sit away from there parents into the blocks nearest the away fans .
Can’t see them wanting to put the families and the over 60s next to the away fans
If we have an 8,000 all standing home end then I’d bet anything most younger fans/ singers would want to move there.
The family stand can stay where it is, as the home end would be above it

Not saying we can’t, just wondering if there’ll be enough demand or if the away support layout should be reconfigured. Luckily I have nice seats in 101 so am happy to get a better North Stand near me, as I don’t hear much from the south end of the stadium as of now (could be my hearing though).Why can’t we have two standing ends?

Won’t you need one or two to flick a few Vs? Stood a few yards behind of course. That’s how it looks from where I sit.If the move does happen a few could be left behind to form a line either side of the away fans for menace purposes to stand crossed arms.

I think there will be if tickets are priced correctly. Arsenal, United, Liverpool, Chelsea, spurs, soon to be Everton and plenty of other clubs have two ends that stand up either every game or most of the bigger games.
Surely we can do that. We’ve had away games and home games where huge amounts of people are stood. We played United in the league cup and the entire east stand was stood up.

Love that track, the performance at Glastonbury the year before COVID was bonkers.Fwiw I think the chorus from idles danny nedelko would suit Bernardo Silva
The family stand is tier 1 & 2 of the NS, originally just tier 2 until 2011.If we have an 8,000 all standing home end then I’d bet anything most younger fans/ singers would want to move there.

It’s not really a family stand to be fair. Lots of people in there don’t have kids. I reckon you could easily relocate people in level 2 to other areas. (With more freed up seats elsewhere)
